It seems
that the moon is
blushing.

Mars must have
whispered something
sweet.

Petal pie
I've been running on empty
Skipping on dregs
Cycling on morsels
Jumping on egg
shells


It's time to recoup
regroup  
renew, restore,
build more
reserves
Surrender to slumber
And swerve
Away from activity
Simply
pause,


And deeply breathe.
I wanted to
give you the world
but all I have
are these
two small hands
and they
only hold so much
I want to be just like Pan,
dance wildly in the woods,
hang with nymphs,
make love
& have fun.
the stars
are the eyes
of the Gods
that determine
who we
really are

I sometimes wonder
if the reason I can't
love myself is because
I only loved myself through
your eyes and you never saw
a single flaw.
(c) Brooke Otto 2014
In silence I find my voice....
The one that's been aching to speak.

Where the thoughts darken...
And my mind wanders searching for the light.

If they follow me home I promise you...
That I won't let them in the door.

Our light can out shine anything.
Our love keeps us warm.

Their coldest hearts are no match.
Our love is forever more.

In our darkest past we have seen the glimpse of light.

And we don't want to go back.
No, we don't want to stare back anymore.
