Reveal

You can wait for life.
However,
I guarantee you that you will find no trace of it.
It will leave you behind in an instant.
Life waits for no beat-
Whether it be faint or piercing

so I advice you to stop watching sand fall and unleash the you that I have so vividly admired since the first unspoken second you stole my eyes from me.

You are passion and fire-
Stewing in suppressed beauty

It's about time you shower this world in your words

She loved unintentionally

Her mind was corrupted with admiration
and she loved with all the fury of every tasteless advance
Her love stopped muscle-
Altered minds with a glazing touch-

Cheek, Jaw, neck, collar bone, rib cage, hips

She loved infinitely
She loved unintentionally

Exhale

I would like to hope that I leave some sort of meaningful mantra in my wake. However,
my life has been entirely in vein and my feet can no longer comprehend coordination nor can my mind follow the blueprints to the walls it has created.

I can only hope to float away as soundly as my strength did-
as quietly as each yearly candle was put to rest
with suet and smoke left to indicate what once burned

I'll leave the infliction for my father-
a bitter mess left to its rightful origins

Don't speak

Words
Words with depth-
with passion
can go so much further than any touch could ever reach

Nothing touches you quite like that
no, nothing can leave you as raw

So please don't speak a single word

Just a simple match and some gasoline

Grant me the grace to set this city on fire
For every dream vanishing in the air-
swallowed by the sky
Every softly spoken protest
on the edge of our tongues

A Warrior

Just where have those bullet proof arms gone?
The ones that held the back of my head as it rested on your chest and wrapped around my back
with my body partially spread across yours
The arms my memory will always chase through the imprints of your vibrant precence
Never neglecting to reflect on the smile-
The eyes that were filled with such strength
Bravery I could never explain

A diligently beating heart
against an army of thieves
Gone in a winter’s night-
With the stars we dare to adore

too soon for words
too late for thought
Reflections of the good fill us now and forever will

A poem I wrote in the reflection of someone who lost a significant other to cancer.

You will always be my snowflake

You can surely be anything
From battling raging fires to the stars or even the brightly lit moon
Anything
To your heart’s absolutely, perfectly crafted desire
But I mostly hope
Where ever you go with what ever wanderlust drives you-
you will be as the gently falling snow flakes
Light in the wind
With an aptitude of a fierce blizzard
In a fog of billions
Different in each and every way
Beautifully-
Uniquely blanketing the ground

Blanketing the world forward
