Trust. A double-edged sword

Which will come? Beauty or harm?

You must go in blind...

I don’t want to stick out

Like a weed in a field of wildflowers

It makes me want to scream. It makes me want to shout

An absence of power. Leaving me feeling like a coward

I want to thrive and reach towards the sun

I don’t want to be a weed anymore, in fact far from one

But at the end of the day when all is said and done

I still am just a weed, amongst wildflowers, that’s how it ends, that’s how ...

In the semi-darkness, the pebbles looked like coffee beans

As the waves came thundering down on the shore

There was a slight fog hanging, it was an eerie scene

As the waves began to grow more and more

The winds picked up steam

This was no dream

This is much worse than it seems

As the waves began to destory the pier’s wooden beems...

A forbidden love

Straight from the heavens above

But we could not resist

That is true I insist

A glimpse at each others soul

When we locked eyes

Supressing these feelings has taken a toll

As I keep telling myself lies

This was never my plan

I hope that you can understand

This is where a new story began

As we took each others hand...

What a funny joke. Let me ask if I can laugh

Someone controlling my emotions, on my behalf

I’m sick of this life. I want to smile, cry, and yell

I’ve really had enough. I need to break out from this hell...

The humanification of selflessness

Trading part of life, time, happiness

To one who needs it more

There are those who sacrifice their lives

To keep us safe at home

There are those who sacrifice for their kin

To provide them a better life than our own

Know by women in their roles as mothers and wives

Selflessness is inate, it’s in their microbiome

But those who do not sacrifice, do not necess...

I watch across the lake as a swan descends from the heavens

As it approaches the water, wings extend as the swan gracefully kisses the water, settling into a slow drift

It had to be less than 10 seconds, maybe even 9, or 7

But then the water turned black, a dark energy shift

The swan took notice and began to head for shore

I watched dumbfounded, shaken to my core

The swan was within, what must ha...

At last

I finally made it out

After two grueling years of searching

Something in the plane wasn’t working

The compass was acting all crazy

And then I found myself in a dense fog

As I scrambled to write all of this in my flight log

I don’t know how it happened

It must have been an act of God

Making it out of the Bermuda Triangle

Now that is something I applaud...

As the air begins to sting, from the piercing blade of the wind

The geese form a V and fly south, mothers, fathers, and their kin

An annual retreat, a pattern of migration

These geese know no rest on this endless, routine vacation...

I saw the cutest puppy online, I knew that I had to have it

But what arrived on my doorstep…I nearly did a backflip

Out of shock and anger, not happiness you see

It was a goblin named Ed, but I think it was a she...
