Yet, there simply are no words, when falling, falling, into the alluring eyes of the one you think you love.

Your mind knows better,

Yet, you allow yourself to let go, feeling, “It’s okay, this time, it’s going to be different.”

Your heart doesn’t know better.

Yet, as you dive deeper into every given desirous ardent moment, the lie you tell yourself, begins to unravel.

Your denial leaves...

I was once a valuable player.

Scoring most of the points,

as the other team groaned a defeat.

Today, I can only feel pops in my joints,

as I remember teams I couldn’t beat.

It was supposed to be me,

tumbling down the field.

Why had I not taken one for the team?

Driven to a yield,

as I shouted in pain.

She should’ve grown old,

just as I have today.

Rather than being left to die in the cold,

of t...

I long to hold someone’s hand

To know everything about them

Why they cut their hair when they were 13

Why the color blue reminds them of loneliness

Yet, I don’t much care about your favorite food

Mostly I just want to know why it reminds you of home

And I want to be trusted to gently lead you into the dark

We can go and sit in a tree

And watch the soft waves splash over green rocks...

Actions produced by my heart of stone

Cutting the thread of my salvation

Golden light in the sky my shadow lingers

Fall to my bruised knees at your holy throne

Blood caked on the ground of my skin

A blood that isn’t mine to pay for my sins

The spear once in you, pierces my demons,

but why do I keep letting more in?

I claim a title that many others claim

Changed my course to pursue your golden n...

Yet until now

This life we promised never came to life

Yet we never gave up

We pushed on

The dreamers we were

Never gave up

And never ceased to believe

That we could surmount the limitations they put onto us

Never to succed

But yet we knew we could

And we knew we would...

Yet is the word that can be used

For any moment that one will choose.

Yet is the word that leaves some hope

To those lost in its endless rope.

Yet is the word that catches one’s breath

As it alludes to a moment of death.

Yet is the word that tears shed upon it

During one’s grievance of life’s hit.

Yet is symbolic in its own way

Every situation getting a play

In how to properly share a messag...

A gentle caress on my back

Yet I sit alone

A loving nudge of encouragement

Yet I remain glued to my phone

A warm consoling hug to remind me it’s ok

Yet I doom scroll

A releasing shoulder massage to help me relax

Yet my posture wanes

A kiss as a kind distraction

Yet my eyes grow heavy and alert

I’d have a friend to love me

Yet here I sit alone...

And yet, all I do is wait. Wait for the perfect circumstances. Wait for the most ideal conditions. Wait for myself to get out of my own way. But the time for waiting is past. Now I need to shove myself out of the way. Claw out what I can from whatever circumstances the moment offers. Steal all I can from any slither of even the most inconvenient conditions. I am done wasting time. Precious time. I...

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...

I get to watch yet become now

The power of perseverance

The importance of pride

The sparkle in his eye when he finally figured it out

The smile on her face when she got it on her first try

When you tell me they can’t

I proudly say, not yet...
