feeling free
boundless feet
Soaking up the good
within the earth’s folds..
Sun is shining its’ warmth
inviting all to bask in its’ glow
don’t know the endless possibilities this day holds..
the days may number me
with the moments that unfold
challenges that abound
won’t turn me around..
I see my worth
I know my goals..
living on a fault line
designed to fall apart
cracks to gaping holes
living within the breaks..
what’s the truth in this beauty
divisive from the start..
uncontainable
it spills across the earth filling in the crevices
creating images in its’ wake
that can never be attained..
sparking fires
desires out of control..
I want you to stay
I’ll cave
slipping into the cracks
I’ll burn for you
scorch me from the inside out..
turn off the lights
stop the time
I’ll be waiting around the bend
high enough to escape
destructions end..
black and white
we lose sight
of the frayed edges closing in..
unsteady, uncertain
seeing colorful
and vibrant -
pulsating, striking
pure delight..
blurry, clear, far, near
damaged or crooked
you set my path straight
opening my heart making it real..
a soft breeze
passing through
you covered me whole..
dissipating
like vapor in the wind
it’s slipping through my fingers..
what will become of you and I
with all the love
it’s hard say..
nameless we will remain
who’s to blame..
becoming a memory
fading fast
Hold on to the photo
it’s meant to last..
you’re back..
well i never left
look at me now
can you tell?
I wear the scars of your absence
each wound tells a story
of the horror a heart can bear..
you colored me up
dirtying my soul
look at me now
can you tell?
it washed me whole
growing new roots
I’m standing tall
sway me - bend me
you won’t break me..
there’s a shifting in my bones
the rot that became our home
has been burnt to the ground..
I dare you to walk in love
I challenge you to rise above
can you hear it?
love clangs inside me
like a ringing bell..
I’m not gone
intertwine that hand into mine
together we’ll cross the barren
for the green land..
a hungry ache..
the persistence
drawing compassion from my bones
to own all its’ wakened..
determination willing it to be..
there is nothing more to our story than the story itself..
we are who we are
the moments non-defining
in an overwhelming
non-binding kind of way..
Healing - revealing truths
small -ordinary -insignificant
making impossible fall away..
there’s pages to be written
stapling pieces back together
I’ll sit in the dirt with you
draw lines in the sand
let’s dirty our hands with life..
wash clean your heart
giving new color to all your strife
yearning longing for this new start..
locked you away
where it’s safe to play
love is abound - it’s all around
my heart beating to yours
a characteristic unique to you..
infectious - smiling
missing you all the while..
essentially bound
chemically entwined
a million thoughts and questions come to mind-
the silence slamming my feet to the ground..
yet walls come down
I yearn to be found
in the abstract existence of you..
let’s get lost again and again
tell it to me slow
tell it with your eyes
you are the basic part
making me whole..
landscape of my dreams
perfect in all it seems..
flourishing, watered, growing green
uninhibited wild and free..
drinking in the reality of who you are
no pretenses - no one cares
soak me up breathe my air..
illusions are exposed
thorny bushes overthrown
our story grows bright in this light
scenery overflowing
moment after moment of pure delight..
enticing, magnetic
holding on tight
let’s live the impossible possibilities
without fright..
when life gets tangled and weeds choke the seeds
don’t give in to the insidious disease..
follow the river till it washes over it
trail-blazing new ways
reviving ones’ heart
there within that trail
is our escape for a new start…
fight big
battle strong
let’s fix the wrongs that don’t belong
two battleships that always miss
the fear of letting go what we know..
War with me
light or darkness let’s not fear
let’s be brave
walking it through
knowing we’re near..
we only lose
when we choose to hold on
step into the now
leave the past in your wake..
I’ll be your beacon
lighting you bright
let’s practice truth
no distractions pulling our roots..
solid ground is where we’ll be found
reason with me
come as you are
a new season is coming
washing us clean..
The dirty
the broken
all will be gone
the battle is over
the war is won..
your love
teaches me much i never knew
as I ingest you
not with my mouth but with my heart
intimacy grants us a new start..
I make sense
through the lens of your heart
In my soul you have a face
a name
there is no shame..
we keep colliding
sliding away
will we learn
will we reconcile..
whisper to my pleasures
speak to my heart
covering my pain
I linger in the love of you
there is much to gain..
etched in my mind
is the wonder of you
the sum of my memories
making us new..
indelibly marked
bruised through to the bones
let it scar you beautifully
helping you grow
teaching and changing
you aren’t alone..
wash away darkness
marking you new..
let my fingers paint a picture
let me run them over you
making ugly beautiful
in ways we could know..
let’s fall into the sun
shine brighter than ever before
letting the warmth soothe the tattered parts of your soul
as you lay your heart upon
promises that can make you whole..
