The emptiness in my eyes,
The truth behind my lies,
The fall before my rise,
And the goodbyes;

It scares me.

The dark beneath my skin,
The light within my sins,
The voice that loudly sings,
And my broken wings;

It scares me.

The wounds I can't heal,
The pain I can't feel,
The loss I can't deal,
And when I am real;

It scares me.

The silence in my little talks,
The stillness in my moonlit walks,
The thought of separate ways,
And my numbered days;

It scares me.

The demons under my bed,
The words spinning in my head,
The blood in my sweat,
And my cold breath;

It scares me.

I coloured your heart red
while you shaded mine blue

art
pin me up against
the wall and show
the world your
masterpiece
humans are a work of art
As a kid, I felt lost
Unsure of the whys of my life
Unsure of my journey
I was a salmon swimming against the currents
Trying to fight life with the strength I was given
This was my flow
until I reached stillness and happiness
I was now a young adult floating in peace
Far from where I started
I felt accomplished

The quiet lake became an ocean before I could even glance at the wonder
Unfamiliar and vast
I found myself lost once again
Breaking through the waves of life
Unsure of the whys
But believing in the journey

Until one day, the deep urge to go home
To that stream where the currents were strong and familiar
For the first time in my life
I stopped swimming,
I had to go back to the mud
where my roots remained untouched

Now here I am
In nature’s water
I understand that home is not a place
Home is the current that leads me
I now swim with the tide not against it.
I stopped asking why
And started looking up
Where I can enjoy the sky
Basking in the beauty of this moment
I am trusting my path
Exploring moments without destinations

We poets write,
with an array of colorful words
inside our pallet of thoughts.

Ink radiates BLUE
moves across page when sad.
RED indicates emotions like fear
that need place to be exposed.
YELLOW aligns with rays
like sun to warm heart.
And GREEN sings like birds
passing verses of song along.

We find BLACK,
inside pallet to scribe words
when feeling alone or crestfallen.
BROWN like earth to ground
planting seeds of insight.
PINK as playful words
that awakens child in mind.
And ORANGE to fill pallet
with an eyes meal for nourishment.

GOLD to offer riches of words
that float on page.
SILVER adorning moment with
waves of jargon that shine.
And PURPLE to launch dreams,
as if pen becomes rocket-ship.

Yes, we writers are artists
who scribe with colorful
passion and purpose.

Purpose to use pen as brush
leaving reader
a snippet of our lives
inside a masterpiece.

Playing with colors to connect them to a writers words.
The sun and moon sharing the sky
Their love radiating from opposite edges of life's greatest masterpiece
When looking up at the amazing beauty of the sun and moon out at the same time on opposite sides of the sky.
There is nothing more powerful than that connection.
The light tail of the tail light leaves me blue in the dark hues
… when it carries away what I belong to…
Unfolding the tar-black sky of asphalt, the longest arm of missing you…
My body is now the distance between us, big and empty,
The bigger, the emptier, thinner than air…
As time piles up, my ladders turn into pointless meters
Measuring the ratio of nothing in everything
