Gate by the Road

Standing at the gate by the road

Seeing the stars against the sky

Wondering what it all means

But not questioning why

My eyes are wide open, 

I don’t want to blink

Still kinda scared you could disappear

Gone like water down the sink

You tell me you won’t 

So I have to believe

And I know myself enough

To know that I’ll never leave

Because we are iridescent 

Brilliant, bold, bright and glowing

Sunshine, this warmth

Feel our true reality growing

I didn’t know love was like this

You told me I never felt it for real

And babe, I cry tears of joy

With the beauty of what I feel

             When I’m with you....

Winning

Many days searching,

Seeking the great unknown.

A purpose, a mission, 

turning over the heavy stones.

Half the world unconscious, busy..

The rest stuck in suffering, trapped. misery. 

Not really living, lives half-dressed 

A handful making changes,

Trying to do what’s best...

It makes me wonder, question why?

Is it just human nature? 

Ultimately, aren’t we all going to die? 

Watching days pass 

While the earth continues spinning,

With cyclical trends, 

       in the end,

who’s really winning? 

I know with my heart on my sleeve, 

And each day, a warm sun.

With each breath I take,

The realization is 

            I’ve already won...

Peaceful February Mornings

Peaceful mornings greeted by the sun.

A world painted brightly,

The darkness undone.

The energy as it comes alive 

In the brisk February breeze.

Faith that pulls you closer

Warmth in winter, 

Just nature’s tease.

And you know spring is coming,

Blooms will be here in a short time.

Serenity in the solitude,

Thoughts also blossom with a rested mind.

Building and growing, 

A new foundation is stronger.

Open the earth, love this life,

You aren’t alone any longer...

new day, new world

Watching the world as it falls away

Redefined over rolling hills

And fields kissed with morning frost

A fragmented existence that used to pull

In multiple directions

With chaos in a city

A mind never quiet

Now cloaked in soft mornings

Where eves painting a peaceful existence 

And the sky is a sea of stars

Never thought I’d discover

Step outside, let my breath linger

Hovering and uncovering

Slowly, quickly discovering

Upside down with meaning behind all

But so many, so small

With capacity limited 

And capitalist consumers devouring 

Empty words dripping 

Really seeing it all...

Pink skies unfold,

Open my eyes, I'm told

Cause the shadows sold my heart into darkness.

But I can see the light,

Feel the warmth, grasp it tight.

Still this frantic little girl-child panicked...

Third degree burns.

Head & heart don't take turns.

They say experience is how you learn,

       except when you don't...

And I can't,

No I won't...

    Let my world fill up with smoke.

My love's no joke,

           And I won't choke on these words...

 

i dont like that i like you

I don't like that I like you
Makes me uncomfortable
Shift around in my seat
Left feeling vulnerable
And I'm not sure if you get it
But a part of me thinks you do
I tried to fix my heart
It's still a mess of broken pieces and glue
