Helicopter seed
comes to rest on the green moss —
A princess in bed
Karmen was Heard Nov 2024
I left You
I can't live now
Will You let me back?
Falling Awake Nov 2024
As you came into my view, I could see…  
There was something missing internally.    
A void was preventing me to be free,            
And was plaguing me, since eternity.            

But with your presence, I suddenly knew,
All along, my insides have felt askew.        
It’s keeping me down; it’s painting me blue.    
But now the color is displaced by you…        

Displaced by you–my gaps vanish in whole,  
Displaced by you–integrated my soul,      
Deep–into every last wrinkle and fold,      
We’re integrated–together we’re rolled.    

And as you’ve become ingrained in my veins,    
There’s no pause to the pattern or plane,      
We sit flush, joining as if we’re the same,    
This feels familiar--there might be a name.        

But how to define something of the sorts,
Existing naturally, without a source,
But now apparent, an obvious force
As it all made sense–I uttered...

“of course.”
The movie was on as I sat down and watched.
Started laughing so hard, my bowl of popcorn was tossed.
Belly laughing so suddenly, it just couldn't be stopped.
I can't figure out why this movie flopped.
Laughter's good medicine, in fact so much so,
If I can go out laughing, than that's how I'd go.
Just decided to "slap some crap together" and type SOMETHING out. 🙄😬 I realize it's sing-song-y. Decided to go lighthearted. Christmas season and all. Stay safe out there folks. Oh, if you're severely depressed, please remember that you're definitely not alone in your suffering, hang in there. I won't say things will get easier, but if you can hang in there, than the likelihood of things improving are dramatically higher than giving up. I haven't been through the stuff that people can legitimately be depressed about, but I've suffered from treatment resistant depression, severely for almost three decades, so I know that depth of despair. ❤️❤️

You've exhausted your flame,
And now you're burning out.
Flowerhead Nov 2024
Each consecutive breath leads into the next,
Like the in and exhale of the sea.
The lion's breath of fire awakens me.

I follow these waves down,
swept under their curl.
My minutes turn into hours,
Severing the body and spirit,
To become non-corporeal.

Every atom corresponds
to bring our ideal into being.
Flowerhead Nov 2024
Every Flower,
Has its own appointed hour.
The words you utter in secret,
Are heard upon God's ear.
Plant it in your mind's eye,
And nurture it in your heart's fire.
The signs will be soon to follow,
Bridging you to your desire.

I watch the rust gather.
And etch time into a stone.
Marking these moments until the bars erode.
I’ll bleed on my knees until my prayers are heard.

Incarcerate my flesh and bone,
Yet my mind is free to roam.
Kalliope Nov 2024
Words are magic, and pretty, and gold
They make you feel good, and timeless, less old
But words are just words, though pretty on paper,
And when action doesn't follow, you feel worse later
And magic is hopeful, and helpful, and kind
And my heart hasn't been the same
Since the day magic died
