Nothing is Something

Told my heart to begin again 

a mind is a powerful thing 

Let the blood flow 

hear it beat 

Feel the heat of life as it stirs within me

Stepping out into the light of day 

All at once everything changes 

How much does nothing weigh..

Almost enough to crush you

I can live without knowing 

Hope without seeing 

Feel without touching 

I won't hide anymore 

I will not hesitate 

I don't want to

I'll never take more than I give

I've learned the value of it all

Nothing is always something 

and so it begins

Let It Rain

She knows what's at stake..

fear will not own her 

she readies herself.. 

Bundling up for the storm that life has set before her 

shuddering at the very thought of giving in.. 

Losing hope - the wonder of life

For without it she will cease to exist..

That will not happen 

She will grow in the downpour 

Standing strong 

remaining curious 

That thought makes her smile 

It is a beautiful word 

Curious

always wondering

always growing 

She will remain loud 

For her bones will waste away if she stays silent 

So let it rain 

She is rooted in 

This storm will not shake her

Messy Love

She is an explosion of emotions 

Gigantic messy all

the over the place emotions..

that kind of explosion that one should never have to clean up after 

debris only she can understand 

It scares him not 

He's determined 

Relentless in his quest for her

He will help her find her way through it

Open arms waiting for the broken heart and messes that are the sum of her

He loves everything about her

Even the unexplainable 

He is willing detonate with her 

as long as he lands in her world 

Never Alone

Curling up beside you 

Drawing you close 

Praying my strength into your bones 

Breathing deeply for you 

Wishing you whole 

Willing all my love to wrap around you as tightly as my arms 

That you might feel the love 

That it might give you peace 

Fill you with hope 

Give you the fight so you may endure what's before you 

Put your hands in mine 

Let me be the vine that intertwines your heart soul and mind - guarding&protecting

I will hold you up when you can no longer stand 

Wear the pain you can no longer bear

Cover you in love when you no longer care

I can't fix what I can't fix 

But I can promise you this

You will never be in this alone 

For I am bringing you home

Is He Mine

questions

Without any answers.. 

realizing there aren't solutions for every situation 

So caught up in him in ways I can't explain 

I look in the mirror trying to find me or is it him I see

Quite certain his face overshadows mine just like his heart eclipsed my own making my heart his home 

I don't know what I see looking back at me 

A reflection I'm not so sure of anymore

so captivated by him

didn't know any of this could be 

He brushes my hair..

He holds my hand

I'm afraid..

I don't share our moments 

They are mine to cherish 

So precious so sweet 

Such love  

So fragile.. 

I feel the delicate edges surrounding us

Knowing we can crumble at any time

Unsure how to protect what isn't mine 

I will fight with all my might 

To guard what has become my treasured delight

Story of All

Story of All

I feel your loud words 

I hear your silent ones

as we tippy toe along this broken road 

Cracks took you there and pushed me here

Up down & all around

supposed to set us free 

But we keep sliding backwards to one another along this heartbreaking ride..

Come sit 

Listen to my heart

Feel my thoughts 

It's not for naught 

It isn't nothing 

There is something I've learned 

We aren't anything so broken that we can't be fixed

We can live with scars 

I've restored the cracks with a new shade of love

Live out these thoughts with me 

You are the end of my everything 

Listen to the words I speak as i read you the story 

of All
