give me a moment
to shake myself
for this reality
feels like a dream
i feel drunk as i adore
your body, slowly
the spaces between
our flesh nothing
compared to the depth
of our conversation
deep into the night
waiting for the right moment
for our stories to collide
and meld into one
bewilderment
that you were there
in my arms all night.

Coffee
rings on papers
covered in prose.
your face reflected in
the stroke of my pen.

...

I guess this is moving on.
your smirk sinking
into a face of depression.
slowly disappearing
suffocating in my completeness
your whimper falls on deaf ears
for unlike my old self
I no longer need your validation.

this desire inside my bones
is deeply ingrained.
it fills my body with urges
of experiencing life with someone
else who is not just me.
myself. and i.
so i wish for you to come
away with me.
whoever you are.
that shadow clinging
to the fingertips that meet
with the rays of sunshine
blinding and beautiful.
you, whoever, that ghost
knee high in yellow grass
beckoning me with your sweetness
smiling in the rays
encouraging me to pursue the light
that i so wish to see shine on earth.
pushing me to speak goodness
and kiss each moment with grace
adoration and grateful heart.
come away with me
my darling.
let us see the world
in all of its splendor and tragedy.

jagged edges
craggy rocks
lush greenery
warm heart
Conquering you
conquering me
an endless cycle
push and pull
encountering adversity
and tearing at my walls
dreaming of the days
when my mind will be free
of the chains of oppression
and of self depreciation.
everyday I climb
and sweat out the toxic past
I get a little closer
to the freedom you possess
and the openness
and safety and adventure
you provide
everyday
I get closer
to mirroring you.

I am not forgotten
the universe holds me close
every beautiful
and ugly part of me
is held to the breast
of my god.
trusting in the plan
whatever it may be
or the ebb and flow
of this universal walk
of life and death.
being gracious
and kind
and loving constantly
the ones who need it the most
is the way I shall pray.
through goodness
and mercy
and generous heart.
sparrow, song bird
of the north and south.
and I am not forgotten
for love always finds a way.
inspired by "Not One Sparrow is Forgotten"

I dreamed of lace
again I said
I dreamed of you
away you led

My arm so warm
and wrapped so tight
until we came
to that fateful night

To my knees I fell
upon that cursed ground
you stood over me
not making a sound.

Hands on my shoulders
your body pressed in
and Fire you spit
telling me of awful sins.

so deeper I sank
into that place so dark
until I finally heard
the singing of my lark

My lark so beautiful
and so kind and so smart
they became my everything
Every piece of my heart.

so now I lay
in my heart above
and I dream of nothing
except a life full of love.

tomorrow
tonight
only in space
do we behold
the glory that is
the moon.
singular
solid
sensual
rounded in the right places
cool and collected
with a demeanor like
no other human on earth
smile twisting
small corners of her lip
as she glows over the perfect
city where no one sleeps
she is their captain
their crusader
their goddess of night
darkness dripping
like gold from her icy fingers
slipping and sliding
gently over the rocky mountains
caressing each crevice
where her beauty can shine
inside the trees, she glistens
reflected in every animals eyes
viscerally.
intentionally creating craze
between every force of nature.
her time is now.
she is a beauty to behold.
