Bluestone
speeding like wind
laughter
frozen in time
episodes of warmth
aftertaste like north
it's the very simple
and elegant steps
of bluestone.

One of these nights

Take me seriously
I know what's the feeling

I hold my brain to sleep
My soul walks in the rain

I locked my voice inside a book
My sight remains unknown

I can't be myself
I know myself well

Maybe it's not my fault
I don't know

Escape

I need you to know
You have to let me go
I’m not helpless
I am relentless

My body cries out
It screams in frustration
And I have no doubt
That what I crave is liberation

You have no right to control
It’s taking a toll
I’m not your toy
That you can destroy

Don’t tell me I’m strong, treat me like I’m weak, then wonder why I don’t trust you.

You’ve made me your prisoner. Just because you left my gate open doesn’t mean I’m free to go. I know better.

Stained Glass

,,

Our backs
have stories
no books have the spine to carry and
Our minds cannot be trapped in between the lines of a notebook
Because people are not poetry

Sleeping hearts

Rest my wicked soul,
to sleep with demons.
Awake to the dawn's caress,
scars carved under my skin.
