People often ask me
How I ward off my demons,
And I can never answer them.
It so happens the truth is that
I don't ward them off
When it is just easier
To embrace them.
My feelings towards you is like the heartbeat: soft and persistent, underlying everything.

My feelings towards you is like ocean waves in the morning: strong and always pull me into something deep.

My feelings towards you is like touching the wind: didn't have to be grasped, but felt all over my body.

And my feelings towards you....(insert analogies here that contain hope for eternity)
I only have a few friends,
but those few, who are you,
are very precious to me,

I admire your loving hearts,
and your beautiful souls,
that are kind
and filled with purity.

I love you all because...
each of you can hear
the things
that I do not say,

Because,
you each know
how to love me
in your very own unique
and special way.

Because,
all of you reach-out
to my heart and soul,

Because,
you all come together
to grab my hand
and pull me out,
before I sink
into the recurring
black hole.

Because,
I never have to worry
that any of you
will ever give up on me -
you all, patiently,
tolerate my relentless Anxiety.

Because,
you all really understand
who I truly am,
deep,
deep
down
to the very core
of me--Rosalie!

Because,
any amount of absence
doesn't disintegrate or deteriorate
our friendship,
despite the precious time
that my Anxiety,
slowly, eats away,

Because,
I can feel each of you
thinking about me,
even though you're all busy,
every blessed new day.

Because,
individually,
each of you are the sunshine
that removes the dark clouds
that hover over my head
like a curse,

Because,
together,
you all stand to make up
my entire universe!

Because,
I know
that we were meant to be
a special part
of each other's life journey,

Because,
I feel your genuineness
and honest sincerity,

Because,
we are kindred spirits -
we are soulmates -
we are rare, beautiful souls in tune,

Because,
I am grateful
and most thankful
that we met,
and not a minute too soon!

Because,
without these few,
most valuable, friendships
that I truly do cherish,

Life, on this beautiful, but messy,
chaotic, dog-eat-dog, blessed existence,
would be more than hellish!

I love and appreciate
each and every one of you,
YOU!...who I call "A friend!"

I promise to love you all
unconditionally
until my very last breath,
until the very end!
And, from the hereafter,
infinite love to you all,
I will continue to send!

and i didn't expect the sun to open
the chorus to start singing
or infinity to be possible
love isn't the cure for the damaged
a drink to ail the sick
some enlightenment to be experienced
or a brilliant discovery to untie life's sturdiest knots
i know this wholeheartedly
but in the moment
you looked my way
with such simplicity
that i knew maybe it might not be okay now
but the blow hit me less
and i would be alright eventually
as long as you looked at me
i'm okay with this discovery.

I pleasure not
in memory of your kisses
Like sculptures in the sand
a child sure will stay
until bubbly waves wash away
the glorious towers
of yesterday
I like how the beach returns
Smooth again and calm
My heart rests, by the cold fountain.
               (Fill it with threads,
               spider of silence.)

The fountain-water sang it the song.
               (Fill it with threads,
               spider of silence.)

My heart, waking, sang its desires.
               (Spider of nothingness,
               spin your mystery.)

The fountain-water listened sombrely.
              (Spider of nothingness,
               spin your mystery.)

My heart falls into the cold of the fountain.
               (White hands, far-out,
               hold back the water.)

The water carries it, singing with joy.
              (White hands, far-out,
               nothing there in the water!)

Knock on my door
After the sun sets
When the world goes dark
Before I regret

Grab my hand
Lead me into the unknown
Caress my cheek
Your lips on my collarbone

Force my memories to fade
The ones you know well
Speak truths to me
Our secret, I won't tell

Steam pavement
Lightening sunset
Daisy roadside
Headlight wanderer

Back road choices
Static state
Ultimate discovery
A whispers chance

Tormented tiptoe
Mirror discussion
The moon's promises
Tarnished sunrise

Ropes of ivy
Twilight cheekbones
Iris lips
Conversational soul
