Love
Simple, yet beautiful
The flow and dart of
Upstream fishes
Fighting the current
I see it around me
In texts and hearts and
Casual conversation
But it is not casual
And I do not have it
Empathy is slipping out of reach
Similar
But all too different.
You like heat
Standing in the sun your head up
Children's things
Music
Don't touch my hand
Shy away because It's Me
And I am not enough
I'd like to think I hate everyone
But I think
I just don't know how to interact with people
Started out depressing, ended up Soul Eater.
This is why I don't write poetry.

It's hard to not long for warmth
when you're tied to the cold.

Buried Words
Him
'It's okay to be broken',
The 5 most beautiful words imaginable.
When I let him inside my barrier,
This is what he said,
Tears in his eyes,
Looking around,
At the crumbling walls inside me.

The blood is
the ink of life
where the blueprint
and secrets of
life are hidden,
flowing in your
veins like  
tributaries running
throughout your body
distributing life giving
energy force in
your being.
Vitalising the whole
system with ions
of vibrational sublime
subtle expression,
so full of spirituality.
Take care of
your body,
it's the only place
you have to live.
Impact the world
with your presence,
and your essence.
Sow and leave your
fingerprint in the world.
Plant seeds that will
bring forth good fruits.
Nurture your body
with utmost care,
support it and
pamper it with
so much love.
Entertain your body
for it is the
only castle where
your soul dwells.
There is no other,
no none like it.
Soak it with
your meditations,
exercise your body,
as well as your mind.
Take in breaths of
fresh air and water.
Spend time out
in the sun during
the day and the
moon at night,
watching the stars
glitter in the galaxy,
take in the beauty
of nature in your life
and appreciate with
Thanksgiving all it
has offered you.
Be happy with yourself.
Find meaning and
purpose in this life.
Listen,watch and pray,
keep your eyes to
the heavens.
Feed your body with
nature's natural food.
You'll be so glad
you did too.
With your abilities and
talents leave a mark
to be remembered
when you are gone.
And at the end yield
yourself to the call
of the divine with
gladness in your heart.

I fix my lipstick
He says, "no more!
with all that makeup,
you must be insecure"

I do my hair
He says, "what for?
it honestly looked better before"

I get my nails done
He says, "so fake,
you know, boys like it the natural way"

I'm sorry to inform you,
but I do this all for me,
so whatever you think about my looks,
I simply disagree

The makeup and the dress up,
it gives me so much joy,
so won't you please stop thinking
that I'd do this for a boy

From the dust of chaos comes order,
For in that rubble, ideas are gleaned.
From the bright light of death comes the darkness of life,
From us comes everything in between.
