Sweet
Ever so to speak
When the warmth
Fills your cheeks
Honey I want to meet
Where you promised me
Soft
You are, I think
Your morning soul
Soothes imagining
Simultaneous inspiring
Gently tugging
At me
To come forth and be
To voice willingly
In the comfort of this
Safety
I see me

inspired by the morning soul tea at mishka's cafe (davis, ca)

seams to be

The seams of my soul yearn for
forever
Yet the stitches tire as they hold together
through the cuts of inconsistency
as love changes form and passes repeatedly

I guess I sew myself too tightly
to hearts that view
forever
more lightly

caught

me
I'm caught between
hope and regret.
I'm caught between
knowing change is here,
it's happening,
it's real,
and hating that I was
where I so desperately
needed it.
I'm caught between
loving the present
and remembering
what has been.
I'm caught between
forgiveness and pain.

in You
I'm caught in love,
in patience,
in certainty.
I'm caught in

dream streams

If you knew
I cried myself to sleep
Would that possibly
Change the way you think?

drifting

to know what I believe
about the universe around me
is to be driftwood
in the midst of a roaring sea
tumbling head over heels
endlessly and
relentlessly dreaming
of solidity

the dream is not lost. hold on to hope.

words

I hate when I run out of words.

I love that easy interplay of syllables with you,
the sounds that fold our faces into laughter
& keep out eyes focused on each other.
Our minds are as deep as the waters
and our thoughts as numbered as the stars.
We are creatures of consciousness.
We link our imaginations with each conversation
to paint an artpiece that can be only ours.
Your mind and mine are connected.
We say what we do to explore who we are
who we have been
who we will be

I hate when I run out of words,

but at least it won't be for long.

the practice of freedom

practicing freedom is allowing yourself to notice the beauty in each and every day
practicing freedom is knowing that saying nothing or everything is perfectly okay
practicing freedom is loving your skin in whatever color it comes in
practicing freedom is wholeheartedly empowering both women and men
practicing freedom is fighting for those who are oppressed
practicing freedom is knowing even boys can wear a dress
practicing freedom is breaking free of societal expectation
practicing freedom is respecting those who live outside of normal presentations
practicing freedom is declaring truth over lies
practicing freedom is learning to leave fear behind
practicing freedom is prioritizing people over money
practicing freedom is realizing that human life is endlessly more valuable than the ******* economy
practicing freedom is believing you are enough
every background, ethnicity, and gender is deserving of love
practicing freedom is striving for unity
practicing freedom is recognizing the division that's destroying you and me
practicing freedom is acknowledging your dreams
practicing freedom is keeping hope alive despite all things
the practice of freedom.
