On a dime it turns
Vertical and sharper than any knife
Falling to one side
Suddenly
And the next thing you know
You’re not there anymore
In life
This is about sudden change and the shift in perspective. How quickly things turn on this human earth. Like finding songs, changing directions and the like. Some things just pop up out of the nothingness of the unexpected life. Why? Why did you choose? Why did you try? Or not... Just because. LOL.

Do I dare say that I wish I was invisible
That people didn’t look at me and on the streets I could walk peacefully
No shady eyes or stares
Perhaps it’s my paranoia and perhaps nobody cares
The thing that gets me the most about life
Is the insurmountable amount of hype
I get it’s a gift and believe me, I’m grateful
But this distasteful existence I lead is starting to get to my head
Like the smell of cigarettes in my mothers car
No matter how far the drive I would hold my breath and hope to survive
I kind of feel like life is this way
Because despite my actions day to day I still wonder why I’m here and what is it that I walk on the street and fear
Is it the people and their perceptions
Or is it me and how I view myself
Fearful of astral projecting it onto everybody else
If they thought of me the way I think of me then holy hell what a different world this would be
I can’t understand why I float about here in space
But in case you were wondering I’m here for love and it doesn’t matter if you call me a disgrace
I think the man I’m in love with is from heaven above
And yes it’s unconventional, after all we live in to separate worlds
But he sees me for me and not my childish comments as a girl
For a second can you think what it would be like to not exist?
That’s a crisis all in itself and scientists are always ****** when you ask them what comes next in life for the dead
They can’t wrap their head around not being here
So they discount the new studies that come out every year
I don’t know what to believe and I really don’t care
Just get me away from this place so I can leave and be fine
I want to disappear like an erased pencil line

love is gravity
& hearts plummet.
oxygen seizes
so why summit.
white flies lick
****** knees.
red skin burns
muddy pleas.

time is helium
& lies numb it.
suboxone eases
just for a moment.
marigold dyes
lazy grips.
kudzu spreads
like raging fits.
tethered to the brink

Sometimes I wish
I could just crawl out of
My body
My mind
Escape myself
And be free of thoughts
Feelings
And everything in between
Everything
That has ever caused me pain
And for a moment,
Just a sliver of a moment,
May I simply
just
be

Open eyes /  

perhaps in
your eyes
is there
a color
just for
me..

a blessing
never given
before

unconditionally.

a hue
of love
and laughter
and life,

a bridge between
us that no one
else can travel?

when you
cry let my arms
fall around
me,

stay within
my breath
and body's
warmth.

when you
suffer let
your soul
open
and come
to confession,

to take me in
without judgment
or hesitation.

let the moments
we share be everything,

be the trademark

in every moment
that you live.

and at night
lie with
me there
still..

in heaven's slumber.

not confused
or obligated
by love's awkward
physical desires..

be only giving
and accepting
and embracing
in our bodies
open pleasure,

in every moment
that our bodies
touch.

be my vessel
to fill and drink,

to hold and be
drunk in
the magic of
your open
eyes..

that look
into this
world and the
next.

and see my seed
buried deep
inside you.

to the place
where prayers are
answered

to the
bed where
you will
never be
alone

to cry.

Is it in the name of their God
that they create war

Is it
the lack of humanity
we've lost

makes the earth shake
disappointed
with their faith

I use to believe
in angels
and demons

I recognize them

- driving cars
- on TV
- buying groceries

I know
there's
- pure hearts
-  good words
- happy places

careful now

I've spoken to Earth
she's afraid
of the billion pairs of feet
stomping their way
through her grounds
she's enraged
of the billion pairs of feet
tearing down her lungs
