The wild ones.
You look at them and see untamed
Savages
Yet
You hide your tears and cry in secrecy
Wishing you too
Would be free.

Oh butterfly.
You are lost and I am afraid
You cannot remember your way to the warmth of the sun.
How you arrived here is anyone’s guess.
Only you truly know the path you have journeyed.
I’ve tried to save you
But you’re up so high
Here inside
Where you are not meant to be.
Flitting and thrashing against the cold
Windowpane
For you know not the way to where you need to be.
When you settle
I will reach you.
I’ll put you back where you belong
In the open sky.
Please don’t look back.
This you must promise me
…………
You will fly.
Fly,
Fly.
Fly away free.
Our love cannot be
Written in a poem.
The mere thought
Of it makes my heart tremble.
It is those words left unspoken,
Unwritten
Floating free
Between the ink and paper.
It is omnipresent
Yet
Cannot be possessed.
In the summer
We were free.
Life’s waves crashed
At our feet.
I could hear your heartbeat
Above it all.
Above the wind,
Above the rush.
I could hear your heartbeat
Above it all.
As we ran until we were
Breathless.
As our salty lips brushed
And our
Hair tangled.
As we fell to the shore
Spent.
Still.
Loved.
Tell me
Sweet soul,
Are you still loved?
Even now I feel your
Heartbeat
On my skin.
Even now I hear your heartbeat
Above it all.
Believe.
Just believe you are enough.
You have been enough since the day you were born.
Somehow,
They wore you down.
Stop apologizing for being alive,
For living messy and free.
Stop apologizing for living without limits.
Just stop and believe.
Free yourself,
You are the only one who can.
You are enough.
You have always been enough.
There are those
Afraid
Of their own loneliness.
Who cannot recognize themselves
In
The looking glass.
They will build fences around you
To keep you near
And safe.
To keep
Warmth of skin close
Not of their own.
Easily
Reachable.
Be aware,
For in time
You might lose sight
Of those fences
And believe
You are
Free.
I hope wherever you are,
You are
Free
Now.
Free to be your beautiful self.
And when anyone tries to stifle you,
You don’t ever hold back.
I hope you see through them
And know now it’s not about you,
Their fear.
It never was.
You,
So beautiful.
Too free for some people to handle,
And too much yourself
That it terrified them to see how much they
Themselves
Hold back.
How they keep themselves in chains.
I imagine you dancing and singing at the top of your lungs
While the leaves fall at your feet,
Some wild autumn wind playing in your hair.
And I know
You
Are
Free.
Break the chains.
Let the heat of your desire
To be free
Burn them to ash.
Let the scars remind you from where
You
Came
And
The stars,
Bring to mind
Why you will never
Return
Again.
Come on.
Come at once.
Escape with me.
Return to your true nature
And
Fly
Untamed and free.
Don’t think twice.
Don’t give it a second thought.
Bring your wings
And
Your heart
And you will quickly recall
That is all
You need
To
Fly
Untamed and free.
My lovely friend,
Step outside and howl
At the
Moon if
You need to.
Stop holding back.
Stop fighting
What every single
Cell in you creation is calling
You to be.
To love
To dance
To sing
To run
To lie by the ocean
And fill yourself
With the power
Of rolling thunder.
Your soul knows.
Your heart knows.
Set yourself free
And your mind will follow.
In the sweet embrace of
All of you,
There you will be complete
And you will find
Universes
Yet to be explored.
