I do not cringe at your approach
Anymore.
I smile.
Knowing all the while
You
Cannot hurt me anymore.

Storm
Let the storm come over me.
Soak my soul
In tears.
Shake my heart to pieces
With
Thunder from the sky.
Let the lightening
Ignite this love that’s
Been slumbering
Inside
Behind these mighty walls.
Fill me up,
It’s been so long since I’ve
Felt whole.
Hold me close
I’ve been so alone.
I don’t know
Where these dreams
Are going to go.
I don’t know how,
But they are coming to life now.

Still
You are still in my heart
Where you will
Always live.
I made it
Through winter’s storm
And carry you still.
I wake up every morning,
Dreams lingering
In my mind.
Yet I hold you
Quietly
In my heart.
The pictures have faded,
But not the ones
In my blood.
The feelings
Recalled reside inside me.
Yes,
I endured the silence without you.
Yet always,
I keep you with me.

This Skin
This skin.
These bones
Hold memories
I cannot recall.
Every rise,
Every fall
Are contained
Within.
Every laugh,
Every cry
As the hours
Seemed so often to crawl by.
Every birth,
Every death.
Every hand I have held.
Every sunrise I have beheld.
They
Are alive
Inside me,
Pulsing through my veins.

In Your Head
Some things are meant to be.
They just are.
Stop your fretting.
You’re letting your worries get in
Your way.
A stone wall you have built in front of the gate.
It’s all in your head.
You keep yourself trapped inside
Where it’s warm and safe.
I see that it’s living you fear,
My dear.
You have created an illusion
In which there is not a pathway to your happiness.

Our Voices
Our voices,
They sing.
Our lungs,
They breathe.
Our feet
Walk along
The paths
Of dreams.
Our hearts,
They beat.
Our Souls,
They see.
Our hands,
They reach
For stars up in the heavens.

No Matter
I’m going to love you no matter.
No matter
That
You think
Your wings are useless
And tattered.
No matter your legs are tired
And your head hangs low.
No matter your smile has
Turned to a frown
And your brow is furrowed.
I will love you
While you kick and scream at the world.
As your shell cracks and
And your defenses
Fall
Apart.
I will love you through the
Dark and the light.
I will love you through
It
All.

Magic
She knows what it feels like to be invisible.
To be in a room with hundreds
Of people
And,
Like the air,
They breathe her in not realizing
She is there.
Her heartbeat the passion of the music.
The cellos
The violins,
And the dance.
Her presence creating a magical trance
And strangers smile as she drifts by,
Not knowing why.
There is delight in their hearts
At the gentle brush
Of her hand as she passes through,
A mere whisper of a breeze.
Her aura
At the tip of their memory.
Something they long for entirely
But cannot quite reach.
A haunting memory
Of a desire to hold onto
Yet
Out of their grasp,
She slips away.
And they,
The strangers
Are left asking
One another
If anyone else sensed the
Magic
They cannot describe.

Scars
You see me standing tall.
You see me now,
Today.
But you have just arrived
On my journey.
You did not see my path
To this destination
Where I stand at this moment.
There were many I had to leave
Along the way.
The ones I believed
Loved me.
Many I have forgotten
But
Few stay within my heart
Where I will hold them
Safe
Forever.
So you look at me standing tall
But
You make assumptions
Dear.
You were not here in the dark
Days
When upon my hands and knees I did
Crawl.
You have not laid your
Heart eyes upon my
Wounds.
Some minuscule.
Some as deep as canyons. I myself have yet to know their true depths.
The ones,
The scars that drug me here
To this place where I stand tall.

Seems To Be
Can you hear me calling
Hear me calling for you?
I am falling
And I don’t know what to do.
Yearning
Craving
Begging for you
To
Come inside.
Paint me with your colors.
Shake my walls with your music.
Touch me with your love.
I’ve been waiting so long now
Don’t know how I’ve come to this.
I’ve been waiting so long now
Seems to be it’s you I miss.
