I love you so much
Love makes me happy
I don’t know how big love is
What does love look like?
Everything
Love is any color
Love is everybody
I know I love you
I love you so much
Love makes me happy
I don’t know how big love is
What does love look like?
Everything
Love is any color
Love is everybody
I know I love you
Shake it off
Melt it down
Tumultuous
Shake it down
Throw it out
Engagement
Wait for it
Hold it down
Begin
Sometimes, a secret well kept is a secret well earned.
That unspoken notion floats in the stream of thought.
Words unspoken that dance on the tip of the tongue.
It’s just a quiet rhythm beating in your heart.
It rushes through your veins.
A quiet temptation
of Joy.
Let it pass
The ebb and flow of our inner tide
Back to the world
Then let it into our hearts
I can return to this place
The center
Currents of breath suffuse the world
Endless bounty within
Boundless love without
I can return to this place
Breathe in
Eddies of the tide coalesce around us
Ready to give all
Be ready to take it in
I can return to this place
Breathe out
We can return here
It’s dirty,
I’ll wash it.
Some soap, some water
It’s not clean enough!
It’s like I’m spreading dirty
Swirling it really
I’ll wash it again.
Maybe more water
I know it’s old,
It has character.
It’s still not clean.
No amount of lotion
will save these hands.
They’ll crack, I know.
But there are too many
Other people bring the dirt.
Is it futile because
It’s old?
It’s used?
I’ll wash it again.
No relief.
No relief.
What will they think?
It’s still dirty!
More anxiety.
Tears?
Just more water
Maybe it will be clean.
I feel dirty, too.
I let it be filthy,
The others don’t matter.
If it were mine alone
ALONE
It wouldn’t be dirty.
Please, no more
It is dirty,
I’ll wash it.
My hands itch.
It’s dirty.
It’s dirty.
No relief!
Another night gone.
Take from the world what you will
Will from the world what you need
Scream it to the skies, let it out
Cup your hands and catch the sun
I’ll share this with you and come undone
Spiral into sacred water, let you drink
Beat through your heart, feed your soul
Freeze back to me and leave you full
Get lost with me through the trees
Full and empty just with camaraderie
Wait for the fire to rain through the clouds
Fly when gravity holds you like a mother
Closer to my breast, feel this warmth inside
Charge and cheer your way to me
I spread this love, love will set you free
You think your special
The tone unique
You are no different
From any little angry kid
You hear yourself better
But no one around you
Believes
You are like a baby
But no longer cute
Stop your crying
Moving unnervingly, blistering on the edge of my sight
Pick your poison, zoom in to my lonely retreat
Decider of my fate, you care about nothing
Nothing but the movement, guided by my hand
Do it twice, I think that I just might
I don’t have to wait, I’ll do it all at once
Never here nor there, but you move around
Relentless, waiting without the faintest note
Ever in the box of my sight, my wandering eye
My wondering eye, attended to my shifting thoughts
I wait listlessly, forever amused and forever bored
Entertain me
Tiny knot in the sand waiting for me
Untidy, untie me, grains rush past
Slivers of gold and silver fractured through time
Rushing in white, leaving in blue
Flashes of weight left over from before
Withered, weathered bones of the Earth
Through the glass iris into the depths
Tiny tangle waiting for the hands
Slowly tumble back
I was empty inside
Discarded
Trash
At the end of usefulness
Marginalized
Final
Until someone saw me
Potential
Ready
Fashioned me into life
Propitious
Beauty
I became useful
I have always been
