Upon a lock I surface And beside your hand lays he And as I follow into the mercury Your shared curve recognizes my face Only in the locking of light Doting princess waltzes turn The books remain Her study His vein A hard cross to throw Instead the moss The retreating cost And her smile in quiet completion A force, causing me to meet him The instinct jabs Neither of these men She holds no hands Until how She found no peace

In Nearer The Cliffs She Soars
She cannot grasp her shifting landscape, With its muted morning lyrics from both Robin and Cardinal. What has dimmed today’s sunrise? Her steps are shorter, her walk slower, both signs she disregards of her approaching twilight age. She rests on her favorite bench by the garden gate. She finds no handle on the rusted bolt. No entrance for her inspiring plod among her realm of light and sound. Sitting, she gathers courage, new strength to climb over the weathered fence. Undaunted, she reaches her limit. Her muscles feel lacking. Accompanied by her mystic shadow self, her playful muse mirrors what she feels: incapability.

Incapability
There's a pleading tone to this question I battle before and after I ask A not so simple, "why can't I just let the past be the past?" I know at first glance, I'm nothing more than moth in a trance Pinging off the same piece of backlit display glass An abused mind easily transfixed, statue still and steadfast While running summer Olympic qualifying fast, all gass Feet growing roots, interlocking with blades of grass A introspective narrative of an internal impasse ©2024

~•§•~ At First Glance ~•§•~
How do I change? I want to give up Things have been this way for so long Tried before but I'm not strong enough Maybe I've been doing it wrong I am only human after all The gutter for me is home I get so used to the fall Ground becomes a place unknown Beautiful but don't know it Mind not able to see The sky from where I sit Full of shame Somehow still empty When I watch loneliness take its toll (It's quite a hefty amount) Weak throughout my entire soul Not one part without Remember it is darkest right before dawn If no light can be seen Things that frighten in shadows on the lawn Come morning will feel like a dream Made it through most terrible storms Because I survived Witnessed Lucifer take on many different forms Each time he dies Another revived Can tell the difference between right and wrong The good and evil overlaps and combines Can go forward but only for so long I get lost cause I can't read the signs I wanted to be much more Felt I had the capability There still is hope that it's not too late for Me to blossom into the flower meant to be

Blossom
Humans are capable of the biggest hypocritical ideas. They don't do it on purpose Yet we do it. Some love others more than they love themselves. Well, I believed I also did Yet it is not quiet so. Think well about it, I love until I bleed and even more after that! Well, I believe in love more than most do Yet, should I quit my dreams for it, should you?                                Would I blow my brains out, would you?                                Is this even a question you're allowed to make? I believe, I've learn, I've seen And love is learning to love another by learning to love yourself, Love is synching your dreams with others' dreams, Love is bending and straining to reach out to the other,                                                       to share the pain                                                       to lick the bruises                                                       to laugh whole in harmony because you found IT                                                       to be insane but never feel suicidal. To love is to burn together Not to blow apart for one another.

Open letter to anyone who is capable of love
*Standing in your shoe is bigger for me Standing in my shoe is smaller for you God knows the size of our capability Let us not try to exchange it in the name of love Instead let us understand each other Moving forward together in each step*

God Knows
My heart now your responsibility Fate personally chose us two to meet But do you have the capability? Two passengers on the ride with front seats Do you realize my hearts fragility? You are willing to jump the life to come With just us, we have the ability Your words are like a song, a soft low hum My own heart gently rendered the key Time slipped the hour, slipping by so fast Say sooth, dare not you lie, do you love me? Please oh please, let this summer stay and last Now I am finally yours and you're mine Just you and me, I think I’ll be just fine

You and me
You do something alone for the first time in your life. So you have no one else. so you have no one else. You're paranoid, shaking, wanting ever so much to leave. Fearing something tragic will happen and it will be the end of the world. So you're scared. So you're scared. You look at everyone else. You feel so insecure like never before. Seems like they all know what they're doing. So it seems. So it seems. So you begin your task, and you start to panic. You think you can't. You think you can't. You cringe when someone comes to you. You then look them in the eye as you are frightened by their power. You admit that you are paranoid and in a scared stage. You admit. You admit. They see where you are and they understand. And you have no need to be nervous. Anything can be fixed. It's a leaning experience. You relax and breathe in and out all the stress and negativity you made in your own head and skull. Now, you have done this task. Next time you say you have done it before, and when you do it again you will say to yourself, So you can So you can.

So You Can
They see me alone all the time. They wonder, they judge, and they criticize. They worry, give in, and think they are the ones I am to rely. But they must know I am just fine. Who do I bother? Why do they care? I feel so confident, independent, contempt and strong. I go out into the world alone I do nothing wrong. To them, that is a DARE. I'm alive, I'm here, I have self-security, I have no fear. Though a butterfly must travel alone to find the right place and to settle and roam. Then they may not be friends, but saying hi is always worth a try. I have not died. I live in a way that is a concern, but when they see what I can do, they learn. How independence is gifted from the heart. Avoidance is a move that can be very smart. They see I show up, in shock, let them be. I'm alive is what they get by the presence of me. Everyday and the future is not going anywhere. Because now, I'm alive. I must be productive and wise. I'll do what I want, and if I'm alone, I'll do it. I'll go. So I dare.
