in the process of healing

when you want to be kind
be kind
but when you want to be mean
be kinder

i haven’t posted in a long time, but i’m always writing; the poems just come to me in pieces.

welcome back

i woke up on the underside of an avalanche
i always try to go to bed with an olive branch
but the morning brings a thorn in my side
every time
every time

i haven’t been here in a while.

and when you said
laughter is like a foreign language
i imagined that i was
teaching you how to
speak it

jcl. you said you don’t laugh much just in general, but i sat with you for two and a half hours and that’s all we did. i’ve missed this. i’ve missed you.

Loving Him

Loving Him

Once when I was drunk
I held my hand to a flame
And it didn’t hurt

Take Me to a Place

Dec 2020 Anderson M

Lo

Take Me to a Place

Take me to a place where smiles
Flow freely and easily,
Laughter circulates like currency,
And happiness is the first language.

A place that has sunshine year round,
Day in and day out.
The flowers can’t help but bloom and spread
In the prettiest colors
Just emanating energy and light.

Vengeance

Vengeance

Beneath your glimmering exterior
Is a heart made of the darkest coal
Behind your beguiling eyes and smile
Is your ulterior and conniving goal

The lofty throne of lies that you sit on
May cast a shadow long and deep
But your disciples aren’t blind to the atrocities
Yet they continue to cower at your feet

But until the day comes when
They shatter your crown
They ignite your castle
And they bring you down

You’ll sit atop your contrived legacy
And continue to bask in your own majesty.
