create words of worth
instead of destruction
with your thoughts

give your head more room
for seeds of hope to bloom
and use the dirt they threw
to view new heights of you

pour your leftover hurt
like honey over your cracks
see galaxies of growth within
the wound-beds you once had

when your light is resigning
dip into your waves of abundance
and spend your time swimming
in your sea of silver linings

beyond life’s bitter findings
we can taste the sweet-embrace
of expansion that we’re soon to face
by making space for what’s aligning
mel Jul 2018
in the depth of
my sea of losses
lies a flicker of fate
and it dances to flames
that still echo your name

a moment is a movement
in the endless waves at sea
but the instant that we met
the world was as still as can be

i can feel the wooden floor
beneath my sandy, bare feet
and goosebumps lined my body
as your eyes locked in a gaze with me

all i see are blues and greens
combined with all my hopes and dreams
when your tongue spoke foreign tones
i felt my heart synch to your beat

i ******* breath inside your teeth
and feel your rhythm in my feet
forever was occurring
in one momentary
glimpse of We

our bodies became illusions
i saw no ending inside of me
no beginning to your vessel
for we had blended into

in the midst of chaos
as we climb through
the rubble of what
we once thought
was holding us up
we will see that
maybe it was our
own bare hands
and worn-out feet
that picked us up
to defy defeat
and if we can be
still enough
quiet enough...
climb far enough in
the noise of the world
will disappear
and all that will be
left to hear is the
golden light
shining through
the cracks of all
we held on to
mel Apr 2019
i swear
the Universe
inside of us grew
as we danced along to
all the pain we once knew
mel Dec 2017
pain is growth
kiss the wounds upon your knees
you are made of glowing star stuff
meant to bruises in galaxies
celebrate your struggle
mel Nov 2017
(you)
think what i feel
i (sleep) in your mind
you're frightened
and somehow
my heart skips two times
distant (in) nature and
foreign in tongue
still you remind me
(my) soul isn't young
my life's just begun
the worst part is over
and now comes the Sun
you move and it shifts me
i feel your (heart) drum
deep in my lungs
we're connected
as one
everything you do grows in me too. these empty beds that we share are not lonely as your heart pumps stars right to me. your Soul is what i wear, i still feel you everywhere.

mel Jun 2018
self love is not
a final destination
it is a constant battle
between who i was
and who i dream to be
this world may feed off fear
but my light won’t adhere
i am full on my own
there’s no home
beyond me
mel Nov 2017
never once
have (You) been
alone when the stars
exist to guide You
(hOMe) when
oceans
roar
to
help
You know
(the) storm in
You is welcome
too, there's nothing
wrong inside of You
i see a (Light)
alive in
You
oh
tell
me that
You feel it too-
this boundless
Love (inside)
of You

You hOMe the Light inside
mel Nov 2017
(i)
crossed oceans
flew over mountains
and found myself
to find myself
next to you
and now i (can't)
(forget) this place
or the familiarity
of (how) you moved
how right away
i recognized
(you)r foreign face
your eyes with stars
i've known through space
lifetimes ago, we were one
i (felt) it in your eyes at once
they sing me love spells
you echo my mind
but still my thoughts
are stuck seaside
(i) raise my heart
up to the sky
the moon (will) leave
you with a guide
a map to (find) me -
made up of you
in hopes you retrace
all my moves and
•find my Soul•
entangled
in a dream
i'm in that
ends in
(you)
wait for me
mel Aug 2018
we are such little beings
in a world that is fleeting
our problems can seem big
but they’re soulfully-freeing
this life is an illusion
so let’s dance to confusion
i know that there’s pain
but it’s light that remains
it is all worth embracing
there is no time for wasting
the dreams in your heart
they won’t ever depart
all they’ve needed is you
to have faith in you, too
you are all that you need
so go on now—believe
mel Jul 2018
since the first day we caught eyes
a whole year has gone by
sometimes you just seem
like an illusion of mine

like our lack of time

we may always be
seas away and
dimensions apart
but the quieter you get
the louder i can hear you
in the drumming of my heart
mel Aug 2019
all that exists is now
breathe in the magic
of the infinite potential
that lives in this moment


there is a stream of bliss
where all your dreams exist
and it never ceases to flow

wherever you heart goes
the best part of now
is that it always is
mel Sep 2021
infinite possibilities lie within your frame
and even if people don't show it enough
i hope you know you are so much more
than what you have lost

so much more than those who
have walked the other way
~specific to the reason~
you shine brightest today

you see clearer now
because things once didn't go your way
the way you picture your life to be
isn't always what you need

surrender to what you now see
let your highest self take lead

this life’s a gift—so let it be
if you can focus on the love
and trust you’re guided from above
you’ll see that darkness wakes your light
and feel your magic come to life

the world is shifting in your eyes
your laughter gives the sun it’s shine
so as you align, don’t let yourself
get caught up in all the “why’s?”
for in you, all the answers hide
mel Mar 2019
it’s not about
trying to seed out the bad
in your garden of overlooked good

it’s about shifting your energy towards
the never ending faucet of goodness
over-flowing within you
and allowing what seems bad
to just become background noise

until eventually it ceases to exist
within your perceived reality

because your soul will be so full
off of the sugar dripping from
the cracks in your heart
so high off of the sunshine
glowing from the knowing
that you are built from
broken parts

that what once was bad
becomes the catalyst
to all things good

and life will begin to unfold
without a single condition
for how loud you can love
or how deeply the stars listen

relish in this
let the bliss
let the magic
of this incredible
gifted experience
consume you

until no separation exists
between where your soul ends
and the rest of existence begins
mel Jan 2018
when i became the sun
i felt the trees and rivers run
along the deepest parts of me
i sang the oceans roar to sleep

the clouds arrived to give me space
at times the moon would take my place
and i would gladly let her shine
knowing it never could dim mine

no reason to feel jealousy
for everything is one with me
i no longer feared dark at set
for my own light, i can’t forget

my warmth fills me even in snow..
and when it falls, my glimmer glows
the contrast is just what i need
it is the planter of the seeds
to flowering love inside of me
mel Jul 2018
do you know of the Light
that fills your entirety?
or the Pure Magic
your existence brings?
that you’re beyond
the pain you see?
that your darkness
is only stirred
so that your Light
can dance to
it’s off-beat?

i hope that you see
the painful parts of
being human
are your Soul’s most
valuable seeds
your tears are the
nourishment to
the Blooming Garden
Inside of You

your body is a mountain
running with streams
unparalleled in beauty
and endless in glee

your worth extends beyond
the physical realm that you see
LOVE fills every corner of your
Interstellar BEing

you exist in
every heart that beats
shine in every star you see
everyday you wake from sleep
you breathe the Cosmic Destiny
mel Aug 2018
i hope you
bask in what grew
from the iridescent
waves of pain
you once
knew

mel Jul 2022
and i smiled
because i knew
the places your hands went to
the home your heart made on my chest
your voice
the soundtrack to my bliss
how i melted into your kiss
your humbleness
your soft
no beginning or end
i could swim into
the ocean behind your eyes
and float inside your mind
i could uproot
all of the bad seeds this world
planted inside of you
and spend my life
replacing them with
all the beauty i see
when you look at me

life can
be so unfair
but our souls came
with blueprints to bloom
—with DNA to brave
the swamps of
despair
mel Dec 2017
within then depths of my losses
lives a flicker of fleeting fate
where a fire burns
and it spells out your name
when i squint though the haze
i see you dance in the flames
and i think how my cold hands
could use you these days

i reach out to find
the warmth in your blaze
but suddenly it shrinks
and the flames start to fade
still i keep trying
using all of my strength
but the Light
and You
are completely erased

now darkness is growing
at astounding new rates
and i am left alone
filled with unfulfilling fate
so i build myself up
using mantras of praise
for abundance of Love
in me that always stays
no matter who’s near
or who fades far away

i open my eyes up
to peek at the bleak
darkness around me
it’s all my eyes see
  ”but wait”
  —calls out a Light within me
as i feel my heart beat
to the magic in me
it shines with a force
that the sun hasn’t seen
it dances to rhythms
my soul sings on key

soon my cold hands
are warmed by the heat
which flows from the flames
that first flickered in me
the ones i had tamed
just for spelling your name

but i am the warmth
i am all of the flames
what burns inside me
will forever remain


as does the truth
one that i misconstrued
about that great glow
i thought started in you
but you just reflected
the Light that i bloomed
i am the Sun
you just acted my moon

for no thing i see
exists outside of me
the fire is burning
always at my seams
glowing to guide me
and help me to see
alone on the paths
that lead me
back to me
rhyming my way away from you
mel Aug 2018
the moon is full
with the light of you
and so you deserve
to shine on, too
mel Dec 2017
everything's changing
yet i'm here still remaining
growing stronger and gaining
my Light from what pained me

your darkness has reason
it keeps stirring up your Truth
find the doorway to your depths
where the Love you seek
sings out to you
mel Nov 2018
You do not have to pick
from gardens outside
of the forest that is
already thriving
w i t h i n
Y o u
for if you do
your head will fill
with leaves that fall
when You need spring
winter will come in june
and soon You won't have
sight of the moon
(or You)
b e c a u s e
You lost yourself
inside somebody else's
fire and the only way out
is to find Love in the smoke
of your own two tired eyes
like You could before
You jumped ship
f e a r i n g
the possibility
of finding out that
your pieces may not
ever fit together in
the same way
a g a i n
but what is life
if we always float
where the water is
c a l m ?
i don't know about You
but i prefer the rapid descent
of water falls and milky way skies
that can only be achieved through
the most demanding environments
that leave you filled with
P u r e L i g h t

you are enough energy alone

Your Light is what will
always lead you back hOMe
to your own field of wildfires
where your broken heart's eye
can see Your vessel A l o n e
holds enough Light to fuel
all the stars in the sky,
to warm the
hearts of
m i l l o i o n s
and as you breathe
You can feel the Love of
countless stars who all
exploded to fill your
body cavities with
all the strength
You'll ever
need
so
next time
you feel alone
put your hand to
you heart and feel the
rhythm of the YOUniverse
listen to nature sing to you
melodies of the T r u t h
that you’re not a "me"
but are woven into
the cosmos as an
integral part of
“we" & every
thing you
see. . .
older poem~couldn’t remember if i shared :-)
mel May 2018
i hope it’s okay
i still feel the music in you
it’s just that these lo-fi vibes
remind me of our synergy
and i know that lately i
have been getting so high
off of falling back into me
but i still miss your groove
when the music comes to
in a way that brings
me back to you
mel Nov 2017
(i)
could (feel) the
c(loud)s smiling too
as we danced to the
(l i f e ) t i m e s
of magic (in)
(you)
i feel loud life in you
mel Nov 2018
let love be sipped
drink from a heart
with a loosening grip
get drunk off detachment
on this transitory trip
mel Jan 2019
tell me
who drew you in 
and made you think
the bones and joints
within your knees
the veins and nerves
mapping out your entire being
were not already complete?

who made you see
through their broken glass
who made you think
it was okay not to ask
to ask you how
it made you feel 
when they realized
they weren't going to be real
to you or to your swollen heart

you were just so beautiful to see
they just couldn't let you be
and when they fed you their falsities
they made you think you had to stay
as if half of you had gone away

when in truth—you were noting short of gold

and you should have been told
the one thing they couldn't be
was everything they knew
you needed them to be

and when this realization hits
they don't even have the heart to admit
you were everything they wanted
but couldn't be

so they just had to taste it 
they had to feel your breeze
and they take and they take
and then they leave...

but darling don't you fret

for they will never forget
the love they found in you
the love you still hold true
the love that's grown too

you needed them to help you through
so now you see that the best part of life
has always been about loving you
mel Dec 2021
all the cells
in my body
dance in
u n i s o n
to the story
on your lips

my heart beats
to the rhythm
of your hands
on my hips

when you
l a u g h
i can feel
my cortisol
levels dip

and for
a moment
i swear that
you & i
are all that
e x i s t

mel Nov 2017
you planted trees down my worries
and grew love in all of the places i was too afraid to shine
and now a forest grows in all of the corners your fingers got to know
and wonder dances through the leaves to your magic breeze

but someone once told me that curiosity killed the cat
and yeah maybe when you smiled at me that first time
i wondered where you had been my whole life
and i think that's where we went wrong
just like the nights you spent telling me words
in the way your language speaks them
and i spent my hopes and dreams on them
i could see them being the key to all my wants and needs

but magic is made up of tricks
and you sure are the master
at making me believe the trees were real
but lately the plastic leaves have melted from the fire
you rekindled in my heart
and even if the words weren't true
you gave me something bright and new

i know we all are trying to be the best humans we can possibly be
so i don't blame you for leaving what you breathed into me
because really, i chose you to come do these things to my heart
i prayed and hoped and i manifested you to be there
when i looked up from my lonely hands

if only you hadn't come into work that night
if only i hadn’t stumbled to that side of the beach
to that side of the world
if only i had done something differently in my past
then maybe, just maybe then
i wouldn’t have fallen into the arms of lost hope
and maybe we would have never known
that magic could exist in strangers
maybe everything occurring now would feel real

but instead i am walking through some kind of lucid dream
and i can't figure out what my room used to feel like
because now it just looks so unfamiliar to me
like the person i am

i can't find her

what did you do when i looked up at you? some kind of spell..
i am ready to be free

i want you

but you don't have room left for someone like me
i still keep space for you
mel Jan 2018
the clouds are floating
some days i try to catch them
but my grip is loose
so i learn to release
these reminders of you
and love that seems
within my reach
but i am a fool for drifting
and i have grown familiar
to the mastery
of breach
and love is here
just trying to teach
me and my past selves
the meaning
of ease

— Sun struggles
mel Apr 2018
i watched you bloom
in retrograde’s view
and felt the stars
fall in Love
with you
too
mel Oct 2017
i am enough fire
all on my own
just like you
it's engraved
in our bones
remind me again
why we ever feel lost
when the stars up above
are where we had once crossed
we are divine, we don't need to define our reasons behind why the moon and its shine make our hearts beat faster. there's a reason i master the look in your eyes, there's no need to disguise us. the love in. your heart fills with the people whose parts may be played by the souls who once sparked your first star. oh, can't you see? you are all parts of me; we are everything we see: all we hope, feel and dream... there is no separation, no matter the nation; collectively we are one human ration. my thoughts are not mine and when i'm feeling fine, your limbic system opens up to feel Love i find. we are not lost, our bodies accost, our souls will be tossed to the sky and it's loft. our eternity is now, every moment somehow fills with perfectly sequenced which why's and how's. so go take a bow, you deserve Love right now. you have felt so much pain, yet you still march on now. and oh, you grow far. through each fall and heartache you've found who you are. your name's in the stars and they feel all your scars. these losses obtained are not all you are.
you're your own cosmic hue,
perfectly subdued. divine
how you are, your Light
shines so far, it is
f l o w i n g to
me to glow
out of my
heart
mel Nov 2017
you are as free
as you let your mind
let you be

feel the devotion
of every cell
sing through you
there is nothing more true
than the heaviness you hold
and the light that unfolds
through the catalyst
of you
mel Feb 2018
you are

the nourishment to all you see
the streamline to D i v i n i t y
a miracle of endless growth
kaleidoscopic-Cosmic hope
the stars are sifting
through your
thoughts
the
moon
pulls you
toward all
you’ve sought
in you there hums a
Cosmic Truth — with notes
your Soul-Spark always knew
which every moment dances to

your multidimensional debut

to be . . .this be coming of we (& my) colors won't
stop as the (bones) in my knees do continue to
flow thru this new winter breeze as i (glow)
(from) rhythm of growth i now sing in
(the) hurt and your sting i create my

toward the degree to which you are individually
and everything else that’s outside of you
should disappear
for this world is a stranger to conditions
and there is no separation here
having unconditional awareness
of yourself + others
helps to fulfill the wholeness of Self
and therefore eventually everyone else

do not look at the condition of now
but focus on the wholeness that is you
view your life through eyes of divinity
come into alignment with who you are
who you really are
the nameless you
beyond this body
before human design
embrace your cosmic sight
undress yourself of judgement
and conditions will lose their meaning
our differences have our souls singing

we came here to love and be love
appreciate your own unique abilities
think of what a blessing it is to breathe
to be exactly what you are in this moment
it is exactly what you came here to be
you are already everything you dream
just close your eyes to see
mel Sep 2019
your bones
they glow
with galaxies
you have yet to
come to know

and when you sink
the ocean floor
becomes your home

the water finds
a way to seep
out of the corners
of your eyes

to wash away
all of their lies

salt that dances
in your wounds
will carry you
up to the sky

and you will feel
much more alive

so you can breathe
in the sunshine
and realize that
those falls arrived
to help you find
new ways to rise
waves to ride
ways to shine
and realign
mel May 2018
i am tying my best not to
but i do it without trying
mel Jul 2018
these perpetual punches
that life seems to throw
during our darkest
of moments
are much-needed
stepping stones
of pain for reaching
the highest peaks of You
and i promise that when
the storm of falling is over
the growth will create your
most favorite story line
of whoopsie-daisies
YOU BLOOMED
which smell a lot like
the scent of BRAND NEW
& when you drink in the view
i hope you fall as deeply in love
with the punches it threw
as you do with what grew

our souls came to bruise
in galaxies, too

mel Feb 2019
life really is sunshine and rainbows
if you wake up and choose to see it
even in the clouds hanging over our heads
and beneath all of the lonely in our beds
there is light that softy shines ahead

and it is constant

with a kaleidoscope
of colors that blossom
from pain once endured
and sunshine that follows
with just the kind of warm
that you never even knew
you’d been searching for

and eventually, when it pours
you’ll start asking for more
because you’ll feel that the growth
is worth all that you came here for

and when your heart breaks
you’ll laugh
because it always
  always
    always
grows right back
with more reason to beat
and more clarity to see

do you know what i mean?
everything has magic at its seams

you are the moment you are experiencing
and it is perfect

so sit back and enjoy the dream...
mel Mar 2018
be still
with the universe
let your heartbeat sooth
the fallen stars in you
mel Mar 2019
but maybe
it’s a beautiful thing
that we can never be perfect
maybe in fact, there is bliss found
in the idea that there is no limit to
being more of something we want
or less of something we don’t

maybe humans arrived
with the purpose to be
perfectly imperfect

so that as we grow our awareness
to the expansiveness of our souls
we quietly choose qualities
we want to be more or less of
throughout all of our lives

to be more compassionate
to be less ******* ourselves

i mean look at us
already carrying so much
so much worthiness and beauty
but still always wanting to be more

and i don’t think it will ever stop
i don’t think there is a limit
to what we can ever be

so in a sense,
in our current now state
we may feel imperfect
as we think of all we hope to be
and know we aren’t quite there yet

but isn’t knowing
there is more to see
more to grow
more to know

isn’t that
what we came here for?
