When the butterflies
In your belly
Are gone
And your lips
drip
with poison
Where once
Honey flowed
Tell me
My sky
My friend
My love
Why did we stop?
When the butterflies
In your belly
Are gone
And your lips
drip
with poison
Where once
Honey flowed
Tell me
My sky
My friend
My love
Why did we stop?
Seeking enlightenment
Inspiration
In the nooks and crannies of existence
Wide-eyed wandering
Wondering
What’s next?
I see beauty in the mirror
And invite her to stay
She’s fickle
And fleeting
But someday
She’ll rest easy in my heart
You are new and familiar
your warmth and your light
feel like home.
I think I’ll stay – I want to.
Cozy up in your voice
watch your mouth move
trace the contours of your face.
As you speak
my soul listens.
And maybe
and probably
I’ll fall in love with this.
How lucky are we
To live in a world
Where everything is everything
And you
You are infinite
Bound only by your beliefs
Free to explore
And break
And grow
And love
And dream
In all different directions
Exactly as your heart desires
Until you decide
It’s enough
And in this moment
I could fly
My heart sings a song
As beautiful as the first note ever created
A song of trial
Of tribulation
Of vindication and strength
My tears flow freely
Sweet as milk and honey
A reward for enduring the night
A clear path
Lit by the warmth of the sun
Paved with the stories of my soul
I burst with joy
Full of love – my cup overflowing
I smile into the sun
I have no idea what I’m doing
But I know that’s not what matters
Blissfully I float
Eyes on the horizon
Board beneath my belly
The sun shining on the water
This is my happy place
Rocking in the current
The salt of my tears mixes with waves
As I weep
Falling in love all over again
And again
And again
To be.
To be loved.
To be held.
To be with one another as if each of us is the reason we’re all here.
To seek connection for the sake of your soul.
To be strong.
To know you aren’t alone.
I hold my own hands
Feel the bones
My bones
I am stronger than I know
