Please slow down because I'd like to smell the flowers,
Maybe a sunrise or 2.

A STOLEN JOY

Comparison leaves a bitter taste and yet flavorless,
Pricking your skin like cactus needles,
It fills you up and drains you, leaves you hungry for more,
It rattles your heart before it drops on the floor,
It blurs your sight and shatters your peace until you are no more,
You're a nobody,
An identity that's diminished from vain assumptions,
About what? About whom?
It's a race that can't be won.

-

I'm a dandelion; a free spirit and childlike.

ALIVE

Untouched waters like a virgin soul,
Just one kiss would shatter a trillion crystals like a roaring waterfall,
Caressing winds,
Sun-kissed skin,
Admiring from afar,
Secluded mountains traveling miles and miles into a Monet,
Passionate hearts beat as one,
Life is born!

OUR LIFE HERE
I love getting old with you, so here we go
I'll fly with you until the end when our bodies release our soul
Thank you for loving me through my brokenness, I love you through yours
Let's start a new chapter and watch our lives endure!

Seclusion.
All alone in a cave on the ocean at midnight.
Stars glitter across the dark canvas in the sky!
Waves splash the shore and drapes over the tan sand.
The moon knew how I was delighted in the light setting. It was complete.
Drifting off again, I blink and arrive.
I knew right then and there that I would be back again.

-

My morning was not only uplifting but also healing.
Human connection can be a positive thing when you remove your walls.
Laughter can be fulfilling without fear of rejection.
Love exists.

-

You can not rely on anyone.

HER

Tracing the lines of an old coloring book that I once loved,
A bucket of captive thoughts await approval,
One by one, they are thrown into the blazing fire,
There, I sit in an empty room, head to head with shame, and a relentless grin.




— % &I open up my compact and stare at the eyes, looking back at me, and then through them, as I realize they are becoming my own.

MY TIME AWAITS

My body is a blanket for my soul,
One soul and one body,
As it ages and weakens, my soul awaits for departure,
To decay in this earthly realm and I to flourish,
Golden lights array!
Voices that are so stunning like nothing I've ever heard!
All for your glory!
My King.
