Opening the door
Finding a joyful surprise
You’re awake already
Standing right there
Smiling at the sight of me
With your entire self
…
Cold winter stillness
Blues and whites under night skies
Quiets a wild heart
Under cedar boughs
How long can I continue
Half living, half dead
Give yourself permission to be sad once in a while. It won’t kill you.
When I find valuable gems
My fingers feel cold
As I reach out
…
I had you all wrong
You were looking out for me this whole time
Loving me in nature’s way
Planting those seeds I cruelly called lies
When I should have been trusting you all along
…
Cannot leave just yet
Cycles repeat and repeat
So much left unsaid
Beast howling
It’s furious tantrum
Reverberates through my skull
It may not be real
But today I made it just real enough
To feel it in my teeth
December 20, 2024
Sunrise not yet here
Moon asks if they’ll die with me
Secret words hidden
No need to catch my eye
I can see you in my periphery
The outline of your shapes
Edges of your straights
Shadows of your curves
I don’t need to stare to see you
…
Tongue up my spine
Coursing over my shoulder
Along my neck
Down Between my collarbones
Down
…
