Writings

Live Blind

Love blind

To your touch

Where I go

But it’s never enough


The echos of your words

Linger like a blanket

To a band aid

To cover these wounds


How could I make you live ?


Justified goodbyes

Leave me like a shadow

In the night

The touch of your skin

Leaves more than what could have been

It’s like I’m in a coffin sinking

The shadow leaves me thinking

If I’m not enough

Than what does that make you...

A Paper; A Pen

To see a sight such as this

Would bless the hearts

Of those who’d miss


This charming sight of a pen

And the paper clear

On the surface, not one bend


A slide of a palm against the surface

Placing the tip of the pen

With a sense of purpose


To draw a line, a circle, a square

The delight is high in such task

Drawing can take you anywhere...

Shower

Water dripping down

warmth enveloping me

Puddles at my feet

drenching wet

sparkling water

a peacful sound

Allows me to think

In a silence

that isnt too quite

Locking the door

sitting on the floor

as the water hits me

Dripping down my body

oozing over my skin

Its my own personal drug

Cancels out the world

just long enough

for me to catch my breath

eases my aches pains and sorrow

body soul and mind...

The Healing Tea

The steam rises off of the tea in the cup.


Almost like a medicine, the warmth and mild flavor heals me


All of the chaos, all of the stress, slowed down.


Come. Take a sip, let it calm you. Take a breath and let your heart stop pounding.


This tea will heal you....

Swimming

Water mutes the world

Of all the loud sounds nearby

I get lost in my thoughts

Down here there is no time


I could run in the sun

And hope my joints will forgive me

I could wade in the lake

And find solice in the vast sea


Each breath is calculated

Every gasp of air is planned

Like a sweet meditation

If I were crisscrossed on land


Don’t call my name

Nothing can be heard

When I’m submerged in m...

At Night I Feel Alone

The water sways

within the glass

When the world moves

so does the water within.

Ice floats to the top

How?

I mean to say

You’re a chameleon

Versatile

Flexible

You can form to

What’s needed

When the world moves

I want to move too

I’m not like you.

You are so damn

beautiful, and

within you

is the very essence of survival

Within me,

I feel empty.

What do you feel?


I love you water


When the ...

Visage

In your eyes,

Reflection besides.

Like rivers of glass,

Top of your class.


In your heart,

Things did start.

Like seas of loss,

Unable to bare this cross.


In my fare,

I did but care.

Like a warm visage,

In which my hope laid siege.

Bitter Coffee

Coffee for the first time

is very bitter


Coffee over time

we get used to the bitter


It's a habit

that we chose to ignore


we shove it down our throats

even though we don't have too


God can take away

that bitter in your life


You don't have to deal with it,

you can be free


so let Him take care of you

and you can enjoy the sweet

We Want Things We Don’t Have

Silence

Peace

Serenity

Tranquility

Take note of them

Breathe them in

Bask in them


We take them for granted


We don’t think about them

Until we don’t have them


And in those moments

We really need the stillness

the calm of these words


But when you think of them

wish for the quiet

you lose them...
