This is your life, let go of strife Choose to be you, focus your view Leave yourself open, be your own beacon Embrace your light, and you'll be bright Follow your heart, make your life art Never fear a 'no,' create your own flow Chase your moments, walk with giants Take the next risk, life is too brisk Be your miracle, embrace what’s blissful Believe in love, and rise above Leave fear behind, love you will find

Shitty Kitty

I wrote this one night as my beloved cat sat on my shoulder. Enjoy!!

Perched upon my shoulderthere she stands in all her furry glory. Beautiful eyes shine with a mischievous glint she butts her head against mine. Seeking the attention she feels I have withheld. If that doesn’t work she will paw at my hair determined that I will indeed show her the affection she craves. When I get angry, eyes flashing a warning my body tenses she rubs her head against mine. Meow! No longer can I deny her my...

Earth rises to the west, and a deep blackness thick as milk is to the east. Through the glass in front of you is the saddest sight you will ever see. But yet, you do not know why. Beneath you are screams of metal, crunching and crashing, terrifying your bones. They shake and tremble, holding eachother together. Losing all feeling in your muscles, all you feel are your nerves sending electricity through your body. Shocks a...

Down the middle are white birds flying against the hard, black sea. They fly past me, almost through me, and thin sun beams follow quickly past. The end of the sky is met with gray ashes that run down the seams keeping the whole scene together. A rumble under my feet reminds me of the continents shaking and growling as they moved into place. Rubber against the deep, asphalt sky rolls and pushes off the wings of the white...

It was a woman, this time, a woman who was the sacrifice.Offering herself, with fear, and with hope,but with the sanctity of truth,to remove my sin,to take it in,and fulfill my redemption.My completion, my star, to guide me to home port.My life.The Holy Sacrament that I take within me, and accept as my indomitable faithin life, once and for all,the completion.The very temple of truth and lovemay be found within her heart,...

You couldn't be farther from what I know, maybe it was in the way you move, stirring heat through the night's cold mist, it was so much more to me than a bright flashagainst the dark backdrop we lost our silhouettes in. You wanted to know the animal, what really drives me beneath this nervous gaze, and I wanted to know the sparksbeyond your blushes and sighs, beckoning both a soft touch and the wolf that whispers below. I...

Hidden in the dark,unsure where to go. You said that you would love me forever, until the end. Now the end has come and you are gone, gone somewhere that I cannot find. You left me, left me far behind. My heart is broken, my mind is shattered. You left me for your new love and I am, hidden in the dark, unsure where to go. I need your love, I need your touch Forever, until the end. I needed you to be my light, to keep me f...

My Morning

The most peaceful time of day.

The quiet of a morningso still and silent like cat paws, treading across the floors of my mind. It’s a beautiful day as the sun crest above the horizon. Coffee brewing it smells like heaven. Chirps fill the fresh, cool air as birds awaken to the new day. Dew covers the ground like a favorite blanket on a cold winter night comforting you with its weight. Higher and higher the sun continues rising. Brightening the world aro...

The Story of Us

Sometimes the greatest story is our own.

Night so thick I cannot see what is right in front of me. You have given me chance upon chance to make it right, and yet I cannot. I cannot love you as you need to be loved, cannot give you my all. So take what I can offer, love me for who I am. A broken shell of a woman. A woman whose heart has been broken time and time again they let me down. Life has taught a lesson that cannot be easily forgotten. Love is like lightni...

Like marks wiped from a chalkboard, particles spiraling apart, braiding back together unnaturally, I once had command over them, autonomy unquestioned for years. You were possessions, all with a set purpose. Some to make me realize the sudden flash of pain when skin breaks, or how my mother's necklace gleamed, shimmered like the sands we strolled along that day. Some were far more cold, secret skins worn at night when the...

You've already unmade one worldto tether yours to another, all of the numbers and names, a river's cold cleansing hush to meof details far too dangerous to hold.A lens cracking from the strain of tryingto see there has to be more to you, instead of devotion turning me into a cautious ghost, blind to all of time's afflictions.Unable to let anything else out or in, so I just stay as a symbol watching over you, still and dis...

The Venetian Map

About one of my favorite plays

You'll sail through my blood, the first time I've ever ever been so entirely consumed, an exotic element to you as you pulled me away from monsters As if the telling of those tales spilled war's memory from me. There will be no solidarity to me, love, no origin without cracks or foreign blood coating my restless blade. But you come to me without pretension, with ceaseless devotion no man should question. There will be a w...

It Snowed and Love Grew

A dream of a wonderful winter night.

The snow fell and drifted covering everythingLayers of a glistening milky white delightWatching nature's winter wonderland of snowSitting quietly in awe of its unimaginable beauty With you by my side as we snuggled up tightThe beauty outside could not compare with youI held your hand and let the warmth sooth meI ran two fingers across your angelic face The feel of your skin on mine was intoxicatingMy heart beats heavy fil...

You've always known how to bend mewith a note and breaks me with a song, and in between, my love, I know where I belong. Standing in the road to brace for a storm, when I think I can't be your ghost anymore, you pass through me and I absorb all the pain that wrapped around you before I couldn't help you becoming all that I know. So leave a melody for me wherever you decide to go, through falling snow or a summer breeze, I...
