I wish someone could take a flashlight
And illuminate
This void
So that maybe
I could see
That this
This isn’t a void at all
This is a storage unit
Take one breath at a time
Adorn each piece with a chime
Let hearts beat in sync
As feathers in air must sink!

Take one step at a time
Bless a beggar with a dime
For so do hearts entwine
Like broken glasses of wine!

Take one day at a time
Grace each line with a rhyme
For so do poems ferment
When pens and papers cement!*

Cherish every moment of life,
As it could be your last!

you looked at the woman's skin
it was clearly darker than yours
you felt annoyed for some reason
a person's color made you so upset
that you felt the weird need
to insult and yell at her
isn't it peculiar
how a certain color
can make you so angry
that you end up ruining
another human being's life

if you open your eyes

and notice every little thing that happens

everything beings to become much more clear

and everything begins to make much more

Dreading the closeness
I pulled and pulled away.
Never wanting to give in.
His warmth over powered my cold,
curling away, too shy to ask him to stay,
he covers me without warning.
I arch my back,
protesting,
fighting the light,
fighting with all my might,
to go back to my empty cave.
Going back to the normal.
Going back to who i am.

My walls are breaking.
The cave is crumbling.
The emptiness is filled.
His warmth covers my warmth.
His love covers my love.
No more fighting.
No more resisting.
No more rejecting.
No more cold.
No more empty.

Only Love.
Only him

I threw myself up against the wall
Because I needed to feel something.
I squeezed my eyes shut tight              
                    Because
                      I needed your fingers in my hair,
          The weight of your thighs
                       On mine,
The tip of my minty tongue on your lip.      
The quivering of your core and your breath
                        Tangled with my own
When I speak to you without words
and without sounds.
Because I needed            
*To just feel.
LDR life.
