Unparalleled

It’s done 

You won..

soothing words settling my soul 

You inspire a beautiful burning hunger within..

What is it worth 

if it lacks love..

What does it prosper if I can’t find my way out..

You gave me direction in my lost world - 

raw, real, honest 

One of a kind - planting me so firmly 

I will sway every which way - yet never loose my footing 

The more I understand the less I know..

I only know 

You give all you have -

Unparalleled..

The very best 

Because it is for us

Stitches

Burgeoning, flourishing, alive..

each moment budding into a better person..

Awakened..

suddenly aware of how much life is in each moment; 

lived or wasted by choice..

the trajectory of the moments changing..

sending me flying into orbit as I discover the many shapes of me..

My heart - a geometry of sorts..

Lines curves and angles all intersecting..

an arrangement of the parts of my heart all stitched together into a beautiful symmetrical love..

Impossibly Real

Impossible intangible invisible..

real as can be

Something is about to give 

Push the pedal down 

let it take you 

It’s unknown how hard the push will be 

Or where you will be when you are set free

You have nothing left to lose..

Broken fractured souls 

are healed in the freedom

of giving into the mystery..

scream until the light breaks through 

Until the streaks of sunlight make you glow..

You aren’t the only fractured soul waiting to be made whole 

Your lowest low will rise you to the highest highs..

Hold on tight 

The other side is sweeter than sweet 

And will fill you with delight..

 

Beauty Marks

With a grateful heart 

may wise words slip from my mouth 

left to inspire - desire and encourage life

Words.. lasting, ingrained, haunting..

they take on a life of their own

Only to be buried but never forgotten..

expressions that fill you or kill you..

for the seeds are sprinkled 

and syllables take root 

wrapping around your mind finding their way to the heart & soul..

Tread gently - speak softly -

create the quiet, so you can hear the impact you leave behind

And 

watch the indelible etchings you carve into their heart..

Beauty marks that cannot be removed..

Ugly Beautiful

battered, bruised and chipped apart 

but we are solidly rooted 

grounded in love..

misshapen - with an unspoken beauty-

an inward badge of hope, courage and strength..

We stand strong 

like the statuesque oak tree that weathers the storms -

as it creaks and moans in its’ twists & turns..

we -too- bend to the mighty winds - growing in wisdom, connecting and forming to other branches - until we are so solid - no force can shake us..

standing firm in our twisted stance - we are beauty 

catching the eyes of passersby 

sharing feelings of great expectations and desires of hope..

after life dies..

hello..

It’s me 

wanting the old - facing the new 

wishing you were anywhere but below..

Beginnings.. endings..

is there a difference when our beings are connected..

even after life dies 

I keep learning about you..

like waking up to the smell of childhood 

every sense touched 

until I’m flooded with memories that make me whole..

What do I love about you..

To begin with -

Everything..

you completed me - tying up my loose ends - filling me &

making me whole..

Though we tend to eat with our eyes

It is our soul that craves the nutrients 

you taught me what really matters forever more..

With a concentrated effort 

i’ll sync with you

finding your rhythm as life keeps changing -

I’ll hold tight

in a world that’s always moving and filled with hearts that grow cold from weariness..

you will

Warm my bones

as i move into 

fresh starts of old..

A Ray of Hope

Im releasing you free 

unearthing you from the ties that bind

though you don’t know you need to be 

helping you see

giving you back you

You don’t need anyone to think for you anymore..

You are wonderfully, imperfectly made 

The merry-go-round you live on is spiraling down 

Jump off 

Let it out 

Let it go 

change up the sorrow you wear so well -

with inside joy 

Let it stretch your face with laughter and 

Set you free from

Your cage..

your light will shine in
