A place where you can be human.
I charged my phone twice today
I charged it once in the morning
and once at night.
I could have let it die
but instead, I recharged it
with no questions asked
and walked away
Just think,
what if humans could stop
and recharge with no questions asked too
I wonder how different our world would be
I strip to the bone
so that you can see me
There’s no vail
no hidden meanings
it is exactly as it is
It isn’t easy
living as if my life is my art
it brings no justice
no fairness
no earthly treasures
it doesn’t even bring honest people
it just makes me honest
and fill my heart and soul with everlasting waters
while I stand for what is right and true
I strip to the bone to be as close to the truth
as possible
She breathes deep
inward
toward all the secrets she holds
she lets in some pesky air
and some clean air
but air all the same
when she breathes out
she lets it all go
because hanging on to it any longer
just might kill her
so she lets go
she’s got too much to live for
Whittle it to the bone
the same way a writer
widdles it down to a few words
Let it all go
the fluff
the need for validation
the old selves you left behind
for the sake of your growth
Whittle it down
whittle it to the bone
The way the sky bent sideways
and cracked wide open
gave her a revelation
as if the lightening struck her
and not the lamppost
just outside her window
Spider legs twitch
crawl
dirty fingers clench tight
to yesterdays
A world full of dark skies
and open air
Take the time to see
for a moment
Take the time to heal
Gauze drapes her
as she inhales
the darkness
the same darkness that
swallowed her whole
with no regard to
the feast she had left
on the table
She drinks the wine
and swirls to the beat of life
drunk
with damp lips
and the smell of yesterdays,
she reaches the for sky
and finds her present self
staring back at her
You are everything
you are all the things in someone I’ve been searching for
you make me proud
you’re my reason to get out of bed and my reason to
smile before I fall asleep
When you reach for the things you’ve always wanted
but never thought you could have,
you light a fire in my soul that no one has ever been able
to spark
you are my everything
The Princess of Porcelain
Her judgement
and narrow eye
kept her family in a state
of discontent
it stiffened their hearts
and the only cure
would be to learn to love
those not like her
until then, something
will always be missing
The inside
full of secrets
they keep from
themselves
it’s invite only
guarded by masked lovers and
blindfolded musicians
Would you dance
if no one’s aware of you?
