I walk the streets as the houses blur past me and the vehicles growl at the ground.

I haven’t found my calling, what I’m meant to achieve with my time on the earth.

I stand in the sand as water kisses my toes, glancing at the sun as it rests for the evening.

I haven’t found where I’m meant to be grounded, the place in which I’m meant to grow.

I sit on my front porch not uttering a sound as I...

When I looked I saw the sea, a blue green that sung so deeply into my soul. I instantly sank trying to find the depths but still haven’t found the bottom. A part of me wants to search forever and would be more than happy to never reach the end. I’d never thought it was possible to fall so deep so quickly but still feel as if I’m floating. When I look I don’t see the world or anyone in it. When it’...

I’ll hold your hand

As we walk through the park

With love and patience

You’ll find your spark

With me, you’ll stand

Never with fear

Cause if you would need me

I’ll always be here

If lost at sea

We’d be alright

I’d scare away fears

And hold you so tight

As you travel the world

And find who you are

No matter the scrapes

No matter the scar

No matter the places

You would possibly roam

Just know...

Every day I went to see you. Your stone as cold as ever, your grass wet by the tears from heaven. Is that you wishing you were back? Not wanting to see me living my life on autopilot?

You shouldn’t have left if that was the case. You chose this fate and now I have to suffer it.

Every evening before the sky took the sun I would come to see you. You never moved just rested beneath my feet. Every...

I do not know which way to go

When all my plans have gone awry

The life I knew while as a kid

I told myself but was a lie

My hopes and dreams have disappeared

I don’t know where to go from here

I hope I pray for clarity

And realize the one I need

Is the soul that’s died for me

In all this pain and suffering

I understand his plan to be

So that this moment passes by

And life in hea...

If I count the ways I love you

I would never stop counting

I love you:

The amount of sand on all the beaches,

The number of stars in the sky,

The size of our galaxy and all others,

All worlds beyond ours

The number of ways I love you

Is more than infinity

I love you until my heart stops beating

And maybe even then...

The ground shakes beneath my feet and the wires on the outside of the elevator rattle.

“Oh no, no-no-no-no-no,” I mumble under my breath and move towards the buttons next to the door. I press open door and wait. When the door stays shut I press again and repeat hoping for something to happen but nothing does. I close my eyes and take a deep breath hoping to calm my panicking heart.

“Breath Ani...

I reach for my favorite story

A book about a war within

I’ve read it 13 times and decided

Now is the time to buy it

I reach my hand up

Towards the binder

And a rough large hand covers mine

As he reaches for the same book

We pull our touch away and he blushes

While I rub the back of my neck

“Sorry did you want that book?” I say

“No no, you grabbed it first why don’t you?”

“I’ve never met someo...

I’ve been stuck

Nothing to do and nowhere to go

Finding something to keep my brain occupied

An escape from hell I call me head

I could paint but it’s never perfect

I could sing but my voice is pitchy

I could watch tv but escapism only goes so far

I could read but I get tired

I could write but I’m stuck on the same page for days, weeks, months

I could dance but my lungs can’t take it

I cou...

In a world where death isn’t the end

I will find you

My love for you won’t stop when we draw our final breaths

It will forever live in eternity

In a world where death isn’t the end

I will be with you

My soul will seek you until we are together in our peace

It is our will

In a world where death isn’t the end

We will rest

With you I am whole

(I’m not a spooky person. Sorry)...
