Poetry and obligation
I’m in a drought for time— yet flooded with ideas. as the sun rises with the dust, and by dusk, all hope feels spent, or quietly scattered. I know destiny calls— even without a map, signal or a location marked. "Yeah, I don’t know what I’m doing," I often confess, in quotation marks— still walking toward the shape of who I’m meant to become. Pushing through bruises and bitter slights—real joy flickers, but most smiles still feel perfectly rehearsed. To stay above the arrows, but never ahead of myself— sharp enough, still, to pierce through the soft fabric of my many, many daily doubts. And I’m learning: sometimes the cage has no door— but only the illusion of one, built from fear. There’s always a world just outside of it— _waiting._ We’re all just finding ourselves day by day. _And life?_ It’s one day after another— until, finally, you recognize the person you've been becoming all along.

Becoming All Along
___A wild thin flame burns___ In shaky hands she walks on Shadows flickering on the walls Dark figures stretch down tunnel halls Monsters come alive in the depths of estranged minds And deep down    in her very soul There is a wild fire, burning strong Engulfing the curtains of darkness Where her fears hide behind.

Flame of Mind
Not until steping closer. I realized that I was in the palm of your hand. I left my parachute without regret, Moving one step closer staring down. I deeply wanted to understand how free love was. Standing here, Realizing how high up everything really is. Your palm sustaining my weight. I wasn't at all anixous. Now thinking that the wind could have shifted me forward before time. Constantly aware that at any moment. I will close my eyes and lean forward. Pass the ridges of pants and tile floor. Leaving behind everything I knew best. My comfort zone. This was me falling in love. This was me overcoming my fear of heights Forever in debt to the strength of your hand

Heights
It waits for the exact moment to lunge at its prey hidden in the ferns and fauna fangs like butcher knives lodged deep in its throat a gurgling sound is heard through the dark shot of brush whistling the trembling leaves. And there’s not one or two, but three of them, crouched low so near to me that I can hear their heavy reptilian nostrils breathing in and out they are my nightmares ready to devour but I am not scared because they are only vicious creatures in a dream and I am a dinosaur wrangler and I know what I’m doing.

Velociraptor
a full moon doth shine through my window sweet sublime I am cleansed, repaired, inspired for myself I care, love and admire I rub oils into my skin and apologize for my reticence, my fear and by the light of la lune I let the whole world in again.
