Garden Between My Ribs
There is a garden between my ribs, A hidden place the world can't see. It blooms in silence, softly lives, A patch of green inside of me. I never chose the seeds it sowed, They came from storms I couldn’t flee. Each broken word, each heavy load, Took root beneath my shattered sea. It grew through cracks, it pierced my bones, With petals made...

Premium Member Can you dig it?
Dig...black soil,stone. earth worms wiggle, decayed bones Dig... scatter seeds there, sprouting, searching sun and air Dig ...to hide our dead, six feet under, body bed Dig...shovel and spade, flowers grow from planted pain Dig...out of this hole, skin so pale and Icy cold Dig...deep down inside, reveal secrets graveyards hide...

Fish out of water
I wonder who I’ll be when alone A salmon spent on Lagunitas creek A giving tree robbed of it nuts A sunset rooster with no eggs When your chick has flown the nest Even if for a summer vacation Who’ll give you meaning when life is fallow? Who will you be when your seed is in college? Will you be a cobweb at...

Premium Member Your greatest strength
In your heart a candle burns, help its light to grow See how all darkness fades, enabling love to flow Feel how your chest comes to rest, how inner warmth appears, like a kind warm embrace soothing all pain and tears In this warmth your inner light brightens and glows, burning away harsh edges so what no longer serves clears out This reveals you...

Growing up is hard
I think the hardest things Are about letting him hurt When I know the suffering is real. Letting him choose to do what he can And can't And knowing I can't help.. I can't ask for more of him Because there's nothing left And he needs encouraging Especially when I'm worried it's not enough. It's impossible to balance wants and needs When I...

In the Cradle
Forged in the cradle of crumbling stone, The river murmured like an elder's song, A silver thread through earth’s old bones, Unraveling what never should belong. Like lightning shaped in liquid skin, It laced through logs and shattered pride, No war was waged against the din, Just gentle strength that slipped beside. Over time, I’ve clung to rigid dreams, Iron branches in...

Extraordinary Forecast
When you row with vibes, You tend to lose more value... Outside some notable tribes, That always pressure to argue. When you seek attention off reason, You could definitely lose affection... Without reckoning title or season, That holds no clear motive to suspension. When you appear to attract, Probability stakes no idea to stand... You would defend to subtract, While you fail to flow as...

Pieces Return
I’ve seen the distance in my eyes, trapped in the moments I can’t disguise. I’ve felt the tension in my voice, A trembling heart without a choice. I know I judge as I’ve always done, I build these walls, I try to run. But can’t I see, can’t I feel, Be who I am, let myself heal? These days are tough, but I won’t...
