Do you feel these words I'm writing?
Do you know they're meant for you?
Have you caught that special feeling in your heart?

Because I have it in my stomach
And it's daily growing stronger
And I don't know how to stop it
Or if I want for it to end.

Perhaps you'll never see this,
And that would be alright.
I can't afford to lose you
To my thoughts.

And never will I jeopardize
This special bond we share
With a little peck here
And a casual flirt there.

I'll leave this bond between us
And I'll let it keep on growing
As you water it with kisses
And you feed it with your smile.

a mess he’ll make

love ya, be happy i am well tell every one hi if they won’t think your nuts
it’s feels like a 300 day is about to happen
The focus of my
expectations
may be outside
of the realm
of my know universe.

I search within
my past
and the place
that I view, then
call the present.

Attempting to see
if the perception
I believe
is anywhere,
close to a reality.

Or if the
reality I see
and the expectation
I have within
my mind.

It may not
be a true reality,
but what my mind,
has decided
I will perceive.

So in my fear
I step outside
to find a mind,
to trust and
help me find,

the truth and reality,
but as I ask
and look around,
I found myself,
more grounded than I thought.
Elias and Flora

overwhelming in it's completeness, 
full of that certain light,
the light that causes soft changes in the shape of clouds, 
a chapter ends

the books filled with photographs of their memories
packed in their crates,
sealed with tape the colour of time
boxed, but never to be forgotten,

dawn smiling beyond the curve in the sky  
whispering quietly under her breath,
she stretches, yawns, readies  for this new day,
the birds in their spring finery
soar on the all knowing winds

the wagon wheels freed from the mud 
that’s bound them for so long
creek and shutter, moving again,
rejoining the road, greeted by their
own private screening of futures full of Walt and Roy
He lifts her off her feet
And he pulls her back inside,
She had come out of that closet
Weeks ago.

He grips her sides
And moves in close
With his heartbeat
Matching hers.

She lives within this moment
And she never wants an ending.
She's wrapped up in his need
For all she has.

She tries to pull him with her,
Bring him outside of that small room
So dark and closed and empty
In her heart.

But as she puts her lips on his
And he begins to move them downward
She loses all the thoughts
Within her head.

He accepts her and she knows it
And that makes her love him deeper
But he cannot understand
The way she feels.

When she's outside of that small space
She can feel all that desire
For the strength of his hand
And the small of her back.

But when she's back inside that closet
He is all that is within her
And she knows it would be easier
To just stay hidden up in there.

But it cannot be that simple
Not for her or for another
And she knows that she can't hide it
For this long.

So she'll let out all these feelings
In that small and empty closet
As he lifts her off her feet
And he pulls her back inside.

In a dark room, a little girl hid.
She clung to her doll.
Hungry and alone, she cried.
Why did no one love her?
Her mom left her for a gram,
and some other man.
Her dad abusive, and drunk.
She dug her way through bags of trash and junk.
Little girl wanted something to eat.
Daddy found her sent her to her room for
a beat.
"Don't tell anyone" he then said.
Sent the little girl back to bed.
She knew she had to be strong.
She knew her parents had done wrong.
She finally told her grandma.
She finally told the cops.
She was finally safe and her dad was stopped.
Yes, this is a real story you see.
This five year old girl, was me.
