all the while
the rain
was gently falling
& all the night
the stars
were simply peering
out from their
blankets
of velveted black
to watch me
surrender my thoughts
to the swirl of my
dreaming
~ "Good Night, My Friend" ~

All I've ever wanted is for my words to reach people
To dig deep down inside of them and pull out something they never knew they possessed
Silently and gracefully
Easy on the ears
Heavy on the heart

But I am clumsy
I stumble over my thoughts
All I do is spill out my heart on paper
Smudging ink in between faint blue lines
But I love and I listen
Always
And the possibility of it makes everything a little bit easier
So maybe it is okay like this

At the end of my rope
You're
still
*holding
me
Give me more faith

You kissed my wounds
Seeing them not as disasters in my soul
But as cracks to pour your love into

If you think
It's too hard

-   That's why it is -
Think about
what you think about

Turn down those lights please
And turn off the music.
My head echoes the empty.
Pain(t) cracks and peels off these grey walls.
I knocked over my bucket of hope yesterday
When I fell over my own uncertainties.
Lately the WELCOME mat has been missing
Me from it.
This bed won't let me sleep
At least I don't get the misleading mirage of dreams.
When did breathing get so hard?
*I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired.

A thorn slices your flesh
You watch the blood trickle down your finger
Until it reaches the air
And free falls to the earth below it
The ground soaks it up with a thirst only your soul really knows

Flowers are still beautiful even after they have died
They might look different than before
But they are still flowers
So what is death other than a change of scenery?
Why is it such a frightening thing to us?

~
In the sunshine corridor
of morning trees and loam
'Tween classes, and the faces
(off to learn some grey equations)

I said Good Morning
to a little bird


Who looked at me so quizzically
with little shining eyes
That I laughed at myself
for being so polite -

Til I said farewell

We parted with our purpose
I to grey and she to blue
Then I ambled off to class...
and left her to the skies
~
Thought I would share an interesting moment in my day with y'all :)

Distance
For the love of God please be kinder to me.
I imagine the sun kisses your shoulders
The way I could never stop.
I'm aching.
I whisper my name into forget-me-nots
Hoping you remember it better than them.
I think I'm still breathing.
I will hug my pillow tonight
I wrapped it in an old shirt of yours.
Boy, what I would give to be back in that place.
My legs wrapped around your waist
Like a starfish
Brushing your freckles with my nose
Connecting constellations between your shoulder blades
That I will find for us in my sky tonight.
Sweet dreams my darling,
I'll be seeing you soon
Always on the right side of your bed.

My Dear

Come closer my dear
Cling to my ribcage like safety handles
And weep with me my dear
Let's make a river that can take us so far away
That we get lost in each other my dear
We can use the maps of your veins to stay on course
So break your compass my dear
The only North I need is standing in front of me
I think I am in too deep my dear
Please let me stay as the starfish that holds your anchor
I love you my dear
Keep your eyes on the moon.
