At the window,
Behind the branches,
The sun bloomed,
And I called my daughter
To see the biggest pumpkin.
She ran outside,
And left me wondering
How soon nature assumes many shapes!

hm. somehow i missed you,
anxiety. i feel
more myself, this is
familiarity in a
nutshell, i know the
buzz
in my chest cavity
better than i know
myself,
it seems.
i guess i'm not the epitome
of health, these days
late nights
droughts and self-doubt all
seem to take out
the part of me that used
to dream. or think. or
do anything at all
really.
i guess that's okay,
i guess
between loneliness
and fear there's
an alleyway, home,
a place you don't go
until you're there,
realizing more
and more
how easy it is to stay
and how hard it is to care.
**** i super appreciate everyone who takes the time to like/love/comment i love u if u do that i s2g

It was like her hair captured the sunlight and created a whole new color.  It was the color called "Beauty."  My chest got heavy and I almost forgot to breathe.  If the soul is colorless her smile in the sun gave color to mine.  Until the one day she smiled at me..  I saw an aura of colors that could create a universe.
The way light sticks to a girl.

Selling poetry
is stopping the flow of waterfall,
Though you fail, you enjoy its music

When your respect is at risk,
You must take risk by not attending
Those who enjoy intimacy with you, but not each time, only to get to the bottom!

Confide all you want
But listening ears bleed too
If only you’d see

as you look this way
for I don't have a pen or paper
to write you down before you fade.

Clasping the clapping
is not easy.
It echoes
and mingles with the air.
But without holding,
things aren't ours.
They are on Everest.
Fingers are benefactors.
We're not deprived of
what we like to have.
God's greatest blessing,
greatest gift.
They're brushes
to paint perfect paintings.
They're emotions.
They're hooligans.
They're flowers and thorns.
They're poet's keyboard.

I love you not because you are good,
But because I'm good enough to love you......

I despise myself for not being someone you could love.

Welcome thee! O young April:
Suddenly sour, swiftly sweet!
What you fetch is a furious wind!
What you leave is a cool breeze!
Hang on my friend life needs both
That you carry along with you ever!

You've enslaved my heart
before I could ever say
I'm willing.

I want to say my thanks to my long time friend beth by saying this: your writing searches for truth from our deepest wells of feeling.
