he walked away
with the sting
of youth
burning
a halo

noted
by those
who know
that the passage
of the years as time
makes its relentless march
is simply because we got up
and retired to bed as he did
every day of every year

and one day daffodils
were covered by falling
leaves with mulled wine
in mourning as frost waits
knowing it will soon succeed
in bringing lasting shadows to
all living breathing creatures
including the man who
saunters on by

Every pain has a message to relay,
Listen carefully and understand.

I feel like I am everywhere
And everyone
For I am connected to the Universe
Channeling the Divine
Feminine
Aries Sun
Mending the world back together
Unifying spirits
Defying none
Until love is the foundation
Which builds nations
And sustains the human soul.

Word play
Is my favorite type of play
I can do it anywhere
Any moment
Any way

Words are most flexible
I can bend them as I please
Even invent new ones
To fit my very wants and every need

Last but not least
Words are free
I don’t need any other currency
Other than language to set me free.

If tomorrow never comes for me
If I shall not wake in the morning
Would you know I love you
Would you know I care

There were days
I remembered
To put my heart on my sleeve.

The other days
I hid it
So deep inside my body
I couldn’t find it for myself.

The terror of anyone finding
Me judging me
Seemed to linger in the air
I inhaled.
