Drowning it all out Pulling grass blades with the swipe of my nail Piled and Waiting for the wind to borrow them for awhile
Happiest Dream – November 15, 2021
We sat And we stared Across the street from her grave

I prayed And begged I promised And when I grasped to hold you There was nothing Empty I pushed it all away
Psych-ic-otic – November 5, 2021

Meet Me Where Our Eyes Connect – July 11, 2021
I’ve sat with it Torn it from my still beating heart Felt it slip through my finger tips And grabbed it by the hair Kicking and screaming It hurts so bad I can see the pain In other’s eyes Never returning the favor It’s there It will always be And I know I’m closer to … Continue reading Meet Me Where Our Eyes Connect – July 11, 2021

I want you to see how broken I am I’ve always been
Detritus – July 8, 2021
I am still here Paper thin Scrapping the bottom In a sea of daydreams Spent on things All sorts of things Never to replace You
C’est Moi – September 10, 2021
It’s how I see you Whole And kind With an outer shell That sometimes Keeps you from your own heart Blind And focused I see you For the person you are And have always been The little you So full of life And smiling The cracks That have been so carefully placed Shaping everything Loved … Continue reading C’est Moi – September 10, 2021
Wordless – October 13, 2021
Planets filled with stars Finding there way These eyes Floating Just as I imagine In the nighttime sky An ink drawing Coming to me in color So bright It burns And in the ashes I toss like freshly fallen leaves Turning to soot And then to you I open these eyes And stare right back

My feelings aren’t pretty I don’t paint them in straight lines ~Flying free~ Because otherwise I don’t know how to be
This is the Middle – October 6, 2021
I’m worried Because Your eyes tell a story Of space Uninterest You look through me If at me at all And sometimes I’ll find you off in the distance The only emotion you commit to Is lying down On your own sword But even then You tell me again and again You’re only Responding to … Continue reading This is the Middle – October 6, 2021
Hills and Valleys – October 1, 2021

Simple doesn’t fill me up Bloated with life’s lessons Hurtling toward anything I am who I say I am Does that bother you
Talking to you…10/3/21

It’s all the little things suspended On droplets of mist Surrounding my Spinning mind
