I miss writing the way it felt to breathe through words why did i stop was it life or just another excuse we call it busy but maybe it’s the same excuse we use for everything even the dreams we never chase

Pondering
In a whirlpool of tears, My head filled with pain, my eyes are too heavy, my heart begging for change I'm not even hungry, I'm full on emotions, Every time my hair is dry I'm pulled back to this ocean I can't find a direction unless I drown first, worshipping chaos- this must be my curse

Saltwater Reset
She is the poem I never wrote, but always wanted to write. The poem I’d sit down with, every intention of writing, but could not come up with the right words. Sweet, but fierce. Discarding perfection, only asking for presence. A flower that learned to survive in a drought. She is a poem that takes the pieces of herself and arranges them in love. Not the loving pieces easily found in the light that’s too easy. But the pieces that accidentally wandered in the dark and got lost. The pieces of herself she forgot were there. She takes her time, finding these pieces and putting them back where they belong. When she speaks, her tongue is like a hammer, hammering every nail that needs to be put into place. Even if she misses and, instead, hits her hand, she doesn’t tear everything down regardless of how much it may benefit her. She repositions herself and starts again. She is the poem I never wrote, but always wanted to write. As hard as it is to start again, she’s never afraid to start again

Start Again
she falls she rolls she falls again fragile forgive exposed honest forward slowly raw is her skin paper in this damp salty air take her with you when you find her there warm her in your hearts fire warm her slowly your gentle wind will ignite her resting volcano she has come apart so many times now her pieces lay where they may pain and beauty they are the same now she is neither fool or wise woman or wildfire sweet sweet slow learner uncross your legs untie the knots of usury take hold of the ground beneath you she is you she is me she lives in the smallest of places she is wild in excess a fractured heart will blossom within her walls colourful vulnerable willing learning slowly slowly slowly...

Our love is a shooting star So majestic and true With elongated trail Serves as memories Some lights are kept Others are swept Slowly disintegrate into nothingness But each fading light Erased from my sight Your blinding lust To have you is a must But all is short As you come and go   I shall wait for my star Again and again As the first one flew by A new star shall take its flight                                              By Our Love Henceforth                                             And For What It's Worth                  S....t....a....r....d....u....s....t............M....e....m....o....r....i....e....s                         I               a       e             T       e                    o       t                                  C        r                      h                  M       s

Stardust Memories
*This song has always been in my heart But now it feels like it is creeping into my soul. I don't know how long we'll last apart But someday I'll be part of a whole.*
