deeply rooted beyond measure and beyond their understanding

the vines grow deeply in the soil of our undecided family

what we built is what we grew from the seed we sow so fairly

when the wind blows our roots stay grounded in it merrily

we fear the world we live in that cuts us to the ground

tampered with, climbed upon, yet to be cut down...

it came to me like snails to a garden, ready to consume

this epiphany like moment i am so likely drawn to

the source behind my bones this ever growing greenery

fed with forgiving foliage, patience to reset my scenery

the dish i put off til the very moon lit the sky

now with joy i leap from bed when mornings slowly rise

that pet peeve i so willingly and desperately despised

no longer a peeve at al...

now a lingering toothache afar but still in sight

the first thought after my mid-day nap and the furthest notion when i lye my head down on my silk pillowcase

what a time it was to have a bond so bare and unparalleled

never to return but may i find a promise stronger then the now dainty pledge i grasp

a roar away from comfort

in your hand i granted you my dire and harrowing nights, with trust ...

find where your very essence feels nourished, like a treasure lifted from beneath the heavy sand

where living is thriving in a bush pilots astral plane,

where the dreams are lived before they get the chance to become just that, a dream

wish upon every star to set sail in the sky, with hope set by the flames churning in your heart

be gentle to your reflection in your most dawning frightful hours

as...

to see joy dancing through the dwindling dark is all but a favor, life held in small moments and small-scale spaces

too afraid to feel the sun so we put on shades, but what if the sun is here to comfort our restless changing faces

for better or for worse...

and so it got quiet

fearful of the tension and the scarce words, i ask you to reassure my heavy spirit

you say you like the silence

and so it got quiet

you taught me to listen with more then just my ears, that you can say volumes with just an eye

you say you like the silence

and so it got quiet

but this time a difference, i fell willingly into the empty sounds around me, fulfilled by the qui...

my pens ink softens around this canvas constructed in heaven

lines have never felt so smooth

colors have never been so bright

this canvas makes art more van gogh

this canvas is a spellbinding sight

my pens ink softens around this canvas constructed in heaven

my pen has never had such a canvas

my pen has never found such a pair

this canvas was made for my paint brush

this canvas is all but a scar...

i began to tell you how freely your eyes set into your skin

how your freckles join like constellations across your noses' bridge

i began leaning toward you, reaching my finger under your chin

picasso must have sculpted your faultless satin lips

i know your mind is ever changing yet always

one in the same

left in awe as you run outside to dance under

the wet and frigid rain

how you are better tha...

estranged we have become

once our souls so tied we bonded like the clay i mold and i knead

estranged we have become

no longer familiar like the very shoes we slip on our feet

estranged we have become

i could never greet you again not now and surely not later

estranged we have become

i sometimes forget how easy it was to say hello to a stranger...

asleep i stay ignorant to the objections before my cheeks

shivering to the sadness that surrounds my lowest peak

feeling as cold as alaska in its isolated winter months

to only see a shadow when the sun is rising right above

asleep i stayed but awake i came to be

for when i awoke the sadness no longer down by my feet

i felt the warmth embrace my shadow with everlasting love

and saw the gleaming s...
