In the beginning …
the past and future
were orphans
Lost in a silence
unnamed until
spoken
Waiting in anticipation
their birthrights
in limbo
The present expanding
its moment
—christened free

Why would you want
        To be a flower
      When you’re already
   Beautiful
A lot of times we forget to stop
and pause and be thankful for
what’s on front of the mirror.

Be yourself
Be beautiful

I try to show love,
But people don't see.
I try to be strong,
But I am weak.
I try to be there,
But I fall on the way.
I want to be happy
But inside I am sad.
I want to live,
But inside I feel dead.
I look in the mirror,
But the reflections not me.
I see a face
But know its not mine
I cry to myself,
But know I must stop.
I have so much to live for
But losing is my fear.
I know it will get better,
But I just have to wait.
I know, I know, I know.

the Thursday's I couldn't
find myself pretense
has all but run

to single syllables
darting away from
the light as if
scalded  

all along and all
along you knew
didn't you
new again
instantaneous
instantiation
insta fren
listen 'gain
verbs reign

lift this part up
with your falling
fear of naught but
full enough
of listen

under look

Remain Open with
Your Self, Your Heart, Your Mind, and
Happiness you'll find
I'm back.
Keeping myself busy
all-day long
by completing
my to-do list,
kept me preoccupied
for the most part

but once
night fell,
a realization came
that I had no
human interaction
the whole time

which left me
feeling a longing;

no one can ever
escape
the need for
other people.

cool winds blow
nervous flocks gather
to ride south
There’s magnificence in broken ice
Crystallized carousel of bits
Shards and little fragments
That cover the abyss  
A creation made by nature
That doubles as an art
Layer after layer
Drifting miles apart
Melting at alarming rates
As sea levels rise up higher
And despite the excess water
It can’t help put out this fire
It’s a problem that we caused ourselves
For profits and for wealth
We must prepare for what’s to come
In the future and for our health
autumn leaves bed holds
song of gold to lay me down
kisses by cold breeze

Don't go looking for it
It will find you when you least expect it
So stop looking
It takes work and an understanding that some are not capable of
If you are toxic and it is all about you
Think again
When you love
Real love it is about two
I am not fond of the loving yourself first stuff
It never worked for me
If it works for you than more power to you
Real love is out there and when you find it and share it
Remember it is for now and eternity
If it isn't than please don't put a ring on your finger
