Dust Up – March 11, 2022
Lose me Behind elevator doors Around corners Or somewhere in flight ~ Swinging from vines Twisting with flowers Circling your head Dipping my toes In the red ~ Catch me Or push me away I’m not coming down I won’t play

A thousand words Might touch the surface If I could only find the right ones To start the conversation
A Thought to Think on…February 9, 2022

https://videopress.com/v/RhG5Frx1?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&autoPlay=true&controls=false&loop=true&preloadContent=metadata Inside of this hole I fell down Watching the smooth walls Shimmer by and by Waiting to hit bottom It never comes Moving Into the clouds They pass me by Tasting like cotton candy My eyes blinking closed I feel the vibrations Of love, left nowhere The tips of my toes Reaching For something … Continue reading Love, Left Nowhere – December 20, 2021

The soft blues deepen As the earth takes on Distance unfolds I can’t reach you
Inside My Room – November 17, 2021
The covers tussled and left alone The remote can be found on the floor underneath the bed, I think. I can’t reach my lamp It has been pushed too far away The blinds are mostly shut Except for a few cracks in-between the folds I can hear the toilet running Day after day It’s the … Continue reading Inside My Room – November 17, 2021
Soloism – December 30, 2021
The warm tears Swell, before they break Leaving behind A cool stream Running down my face Hiding the remnants, behind The closed door Just feet away From all of life
Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021
Traipsing Inside the inklings Of time Picked up By the wanderers Who have nothing to forgive Because forgiveness itself Seems to be letting go Or so I’ve been told Inside the glimmers of light The sun will eventually Hand over the day To the moon Seemingly scattered These dreams I’ve had A million times Wandering … Continue reading Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021

I forget sometimes How to disappear Letting go Of a lot more Than I hold Except for you I will never know How to let go Of you
Cuts Deep – November 29, 2021
I’m telling you And I know She was better than me But any mom Her heart would break If you called her by her name We worked too hard to bring you into this world For you to take us out Like that

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
Hollowed Out – November 20, 2021
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
I’ve seen things Coming around the corner These things would frighten anybody To unlock my mind Is the only way you’ll ever know I’m not sharing
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
Interstellar – November 10, 2021
There was no distance And there was silence The worst kind Face to face

I want you to see how broken I am I’ve always been
