D Loup
caffeine crutch
restless midnight rush
memorize words to pinpoint precision
leaning on a coffee cup
fuel for cognitive ignition
unproductive nocturnal emission
of restless sighs
and tears from tired eyes
mesmerized
hypnotized
out of mind
passing time
dreary dreamer
2am alpha wave fighter
front line gunner
of disappointment in the making
time wasting
consciousness fading
daylight breaking
clock resetting
know this, my child:
the things that burn your eyes
will also burn your soul.
Our thoughts are like an ocean.
For they make up most of who we are.
They can be very deep and vast,
And impossible to completely explore.
Sometimes you must tread lightly.
Watch what you do and think.
For there is the occasional drop off.
And with just one wrong step; you might sink.
Though sometimes it may seem scary,
Swimming in the dark and unknown...
It can also be quite beautiful,
With all that life, you don't feel so alone.
There is so many wondrous things,
Going on in our minds.
If we all just choose to open up a bit more,
Who knows what unique things we might find?
We don't seem to realize how incredibly lucky we are sometimes, to be created the way we are. It's so magnificent the things we could do if only we put our minds together! If we loved one another. If we respected one another. If more of us shared  who we are inside, without the cover up or the masks, but who we are really made to be, our stories; we could inspire so many! Imagine a world like that. It's beautiful, isn't it?

Emmy
I'm tripping over the cracks of this
foundation
My motivation is waning
I'm floating
soaking in anxiety
Am I lucid dreaming?
My shoulder blades
buried in concrete
My hands
Are they free?
Grab ahold of this heartbeat
it's tumbling
down the corridors of my mind
I,
see the universe in her eyes,
melodies sound her voice,
******* future in her lips,

Senses.
For her
May you stumble upon joy this year -
Upon heavenly magical skies -
With clouds purple and yellow
Through deep reflections of your eyes

May you stumble upon Autumn leaves
That sweep you off your feet -
Up above the tallest tree
Where you can almost see July

May you stumble upon a ray of light -
At the very crack of dawn
When birds chirp and flowers grow -
With the light inside, you've grown

May you stumble upon a pile of wishes -
Hidden in a factory of your own
Wishes, in the making ..
Whilst others you have sewn

May you stumble upon this and that
And for every stumble, you are fond -
That all those times of sudden stumbling
You've been actually dancing upon ..
Keep dancing upon greatness ..

Sincerely, Em
