Do not let anyone fool you.
We are all fumbling,
Learning as we go
Moment by moment.
For not one of us have
Lived these days before.

Neutron
Supernova.
There you are,
A neutron star.
Your heart is my magnetic north,
Pulling me in closer
With such ease.
Naturally.
And on we go.
You and I
Intentionally
Choose
To explore
The unnamed constellations.
Unnoticed places.
Plans forgotten for the day now,
Sway into me.
Take me into
The hidden passages
Of your heart and mind.
The intersection
Where dreams meet reality
Creating a new dimension
In the soul.
Let us misplace our minds and
Vanish all together.

Trinkets
Little trinkets in my drawer;
My nightstand
Where i keep my most valuable
Treasures.
They would mean nothing to
Anyone else.
I put them out sometimes and reminisce.
What memory may be tugging at my heart?
What color am i feeling today?
Nostalgic
Or happy.
Maybe sad and missing someone,
Missing someplace.
Maybe i should toss them all out
And start over.

Teeth
All the words She
Keeps inside
Have little teeth.
They are eating their way out
Through the lining
Of her stomach
In objection
Of being swallowed.

Winter Rain
Cold winter rain falls on my
Face.
I like to look up when it is pouring
Allowing myself to
Get completely
Drenched because everything dries
Off eventually right?
It burns my skin
Yet chills my bones.
I love how it makes me feel alive,
My whole body
Shivering to keep me warm.
All the hairs on my body standing up
In protest.
I protest the protest and giggle.
And it always feels so delicious to get warm After
A good chill.
On to a hot shower and into
A pile of blankets
Until another moment shakes up all of
My senses.
Life presents
Continuous moments to marvel.

Reading
Read a poem.
Read it again
And again.
Leave it be
And return.
Keep reading,
Immersing yourself in each verse.
Pondering.
A sequence of thoughts pulling
You into
A
Myriad of emotions.
Seeing something more.
Feeling something more.
Every time you come back to the words
They seem to have grown
In depth and width.
Unending rhythms creating a
Cosmic beat within your heart
And mind.
Expanding creation,
Human metamorphosis.
Wake up.

On
Heartbeats stop
Teardrops
Drop.
The world keeps moving
On and on.

Hit
You
Knocked the breath out of her.
Hands hit skin,
Words hit heart.
She was fearful
Of everyone.
Scared to speak.
Scared to move.
To say the wrong word,
To give the wrong look.
Her legs always shaking step by step.
Heaven forbid a tear should fall
(You damn crybaby)
Her voice so small
(Speak up! Speak up! But only when I tell you to!).
Eyes on the floor.
Walk so very softly.
(Become the wallpaper upon the wall
Your fingers never touch)
When She breathes, if she breathes,
Hold it, listen.
(What the hell are you wearing?)
Do not move another step
Until
Television volume up high
To mask the sound of her
Existence.
(They walk among us)
The controllers and abusers,
The controlled and abused.
And Momma always said
You never know what goes on behind
Closed doors.

Intimate
These most intimate moments
Cannot be put into words.
They do not need to be shared
With others.
They remain here,
Weightless yet filling
The heart.

Word
I have felt every word
He writes.
I collect each letter;
Capital and lower case,
Exclamation points,
Question marks and all.
I put them in my heart.
Little folded notes of love and disdain.
Magic spells to remind
Me
I am not alone.
And I tiptoe and
Dance to his lyrics
When I am solitaire.
Sometimes
In the forest
Under the moonlight too,
With a passion free.
Just me
And his
Smile when I close my eyes.
Tingling and giddy I cannot help but
Fall into an endless spiral.
Down into the
Moss beneath my feet.
Secret bliss.
