Shadows of leaves passing along the white marble counter top

Gentle Reflection over tea and milk

Somber thoughts
Peaceful tranquility
And Loving hearts

I understand now

To be found and to find
One that will share your heart and soul

To be in harmony with your creator

To bring tears to your eyes at the thought of who she is

To live this blessing of a life
And share it with the same mind

Our love is once in a lifetime

Let’s chase this breeze together

I felt pain
But I am at peace

My mind entertained doubts
But I feel clarity

I questioned my self
But I received an answer

I have a future

The struggle of now
The struggle of the past
And the insecurity of my mind

Weight that has no place on my shoulders

I will grow
I will love
I will be strong

I will unabashedly be me

Clouds fall apart in an all familiar blue

Her hand on my shoulder

The sweetest of affirmations

Her lips

The open road

Beach hair and sandy toes

True love and loving companionship

The adventure of no true destination is the song of my soul

But to share that same soul

That is why I love you

The curiosity of insecurity

To witness the diminishing of ones self worth
With the hands of a pure or vile heart

To question morality in the face of false assurance

The hot lump of wisdoms coal burns my throat as I speak with icy truths

I cut my cheek with my razor tongue

I spit on my own shoes

My hair is in my face

Inward pronating toes as I feel my posture change

Shifting and ******* with my shirt

The eyes that peer hold the most power over me

God forbid I trust in the opinion of my lover

“Made for me”

But with so much to fix

White knuckles grip my palms
Wild greens catch my psyche

I will stand in the mud

Sing out of tune

Walk with a goofy gait

Smile in my crooked way

Embrace my family

Laugh as loud as I want

Kiss your forehead

And dance in the lightning storm

I’m thankful for my fear
It blesses me with open eyes
A heart that breaks and reminds me of a life to live

To kneel before my God

Insecurities in hand

Take my sorrows from my calloused palms
