At first beat
My heart uttered your name.
You are the unspeakable verse
That overwhelms me,
Yet calms me.
That quickens my heart and my breath,
Yet
I breathe deeper than ever.

deep and steady
ready for the chill to come.

Sensation
Do you not love
The sensation of
The heat of the sun on your skin,
And the wet of the rain,
The caress of the wind and the
Chill of the snow the same?
She does.

before
Sometimes i fall
Before my hand
Reaches the light switch.
Before i even reach the door.
Before i can raise my head.
Depleted of my own life energy
From fighting my own self,
In constant battle
With my own unseen
Forces.
I fall finished
Before the day has
Even
Begun.

I have questioned things in my past
but i will not live in regret.

i will honor myself
with

Pour his heart into
Ink and
Whispers
Yet otherwise, his
Voice
Falters
For words.

In your heart
We are all born
with
Big love in our hearts.
Complete and bottomless.
We are perfect souls.
But some get trampled
And abandoned on this path,
This journey of life
And we learn to shrink love.
We hide it.
Bury it deep,
Or carry it in a cage keeping it separate
From our heart so as not to touch it
Directly.
But deny as you will,
You are stil love.
You are big, beautiful love.
And the work you do to try and hide it
Consumes every waking hour.
Every dream you dream.
Searching for love elsewhere.
Your love is good enough for you.
Open the cage
And put love back where it belongs
In your heart.

I Do
15 years old
Asleep on the wooden
Floor
In a sheep station in the
Outback.
Something.
Someone woke me.
All was still.
I could hear the heavy breathing of deep slumber from those around me.
And through the windows shone glorious
Like none my eyes had seen before,
Moonlight,
Lighting up the night
Like the sun.
Carefully i rose from my
Sleeping bag
So as not to disturb the others
And tiptoed to the door.
Such excitement filled my blood
As i stepped outside.
There
The moon
She showed herself
In such splendor,
Super moon
So big
On the horizon
She touched my soul.
My heart swelled to greet her
And my tears thanked her.
I believe I was cleansed that night
As the others dreamt,
I lived.
There i was
Standing in the red dirt
Glowing beneath my feet.
Ancient voices
Whispering to my heart.
Ancient ghosts holding my hands
Showing me
Teaching me
Without words.
Holding me in love.
Bathing me in holy light.
I do believe in magic.

The Ocean
I follow you to the brook
Where the water moves gently
And in we go.
As we merge together
Becoming the river;
The river flows on.
We become
The ocean,
The crashing waves.
Completely submerged.
Entwined.
Us
So
Alive.

I Wait
I wait until I am alone,
And only then
Will I whisper your name.
As the sun sets
And the world begins to
Settle in dark of night.
For I wish not
Another soul
Bare witness
To
My tears.
