Give way..

Lamenting 

mourning 

hurting inside..

burying you deep

as if it’s something to hide..

Grieving is love that’s exploded inside..

fragments remain 

keeping you sane 

Just enough to shoulder the blame..

Shadow boxing here 

Shadow boxing there

It’s worn you down

leveling you to the ground..

Stop fighting yourself 

don’t do it alone 

step into new space as you roam..

What is dead may never die 

let it tear through the shadows of your sky..

May it thunder through to the silence of your heart..

hear the sounds of freedom as darkness gives way to light..

let the mourning change with the morning bright..

your mind will rewind

to promises of old 

reliving stories you’ve been told 

as it fills your soul 

it will make you whole..

Diseased by love

the more i know 

the further i go 

sinking into that rabbit hole...

It owns me

dethrones me 

setting apart my heart

Bleeding me through depleting what i knew..

Part of me dies as i come alive..

beautiful disease

do what you please

cure me from the rot that eats my heart..

messy, chaotic, tangled and swept 

adversely affected is all that I’ve kept..

Strange steps take us back 

The cinder beneath guiding our feet 

our minds go quiet 

While our hearts riot..

in awe 

amazed, uncertain

unsure

of all that our mind had never heard..

i hope this illness 

can heal us 

from all we’ve come to be

You’ve chiseled me down 

I’ll wear this madness of you 

like a crown..

Unstuck

dare to be different 

changing our hold

bold in what we know 

the older we grow

wisdom is ours 

Ours to behold..

bend like a willow

strong like an oak

Life will be peaceful 

as we lighten our yoke.. 

You leveled the play 

in that way of yours 

jumbled my heart

got me to stay..

Door is wide open

Hinges remain 

Haunt me please 

Leave your stain 

Distinct and different 

I’ll not be the same...

Medicine heart

Untraceable are your ways 

Unsearchable your love 

Beyond knowing 

my heart seeks you out 

Unchanging is my beat for you 

the human touch 

embodying all we are 

connecting us 

directing us 

all we become 

into a beautiful one.. 

Living each moment like we are dying

I wrap my arms around you in this time..

Take my hand 

One last stand 

Drown in me 

One last breath 

as gasp together what is left..

Beauty Scars

the deepest wounds 

are my dearest friends 

they follow me through till the end..

Teaching me, showing me, guiding me on..

With each gash

I learn me strong 

cherishing the wrongs, the hurts, the pain

All of life is mine to gain.. 

I may be wiser, maybe I’m not

but I’m open to live..

pliable, limber  

wanting to give 

twisting and turning with all there is..

I’ve soaked it all up 

abundant and full..

Life slips in 

carves us to win

the scars are my beauty 

time will tell

I wear them well..

walk with me 

talk with me 

hold my hand 

the privilege is yours to 

know where I stand..

Color my world..

I see you in black and white 

Your soul clear as day..

You light up my world in colors bright..

Closer than two hearts can tell

Crazy beautiful is our hell

We’re fire, we’re ice 

we’re anything but nice, 

yet we don’t think twice about rolling the dice..

we may be dark but burn bright with light 

reflecting all the rays of the sunlight

a black and white delight..

Two faces..

You look

You wonder 

you question

you guess

Judging until you’re completely undressed 

heaped on

the floor in a shredded mess..

I’m her, I’m she, I’m them, I’m we 

and the loss of me is the new conquest..

I am now two

split through and through

No longer true to me or you 

I’m buried alive 

nowhere to hide..

gotta dig deep to find my feet 

rolling back the ignorance 

walking in bliss

Looking for what I somehow missed 

Drawing back my spirit 

bringing back my mind 

two souls rejoined

until we are one 

No longer afraid of all that’s begun..
