A letter to the future
Good morning there Here I come.. With nothing in hand But promise of the better you I lament no more… The torment of the past Remain in the past Here I pass my greetings. I wax thinking my yesterday was the worst Until I heard you are the best Then I got perplexed by your possibilities I got possessed by your peace Here...

Chameleon
I’ve been a chameleon my whole life— Blending, shifting, changing with the tide. I have worn a thousand faces, each not quite my own, Shifting like shadows, wherever I was thrown. But in the silence, a whisper would start— A voice from deep within my heart. What remains when there’s no one left to please? Just me in the mirror—no disguise, no...

Daisy
They say a single white blossomed. Petals flung wide in the east wind’s howl— She must be lonely. Alone? Yes, but not adrift. ...

Big Little Strong Girl
it's okay... but it didn't start out that way from the time of your entry from the birth canal your clock of pain started ticking a ticking of pain that seemed never ending like a long slow road to hell driving pain bone marrow deep, but no one could tell, 'cause you hid it well you were left on your own...

deterioration
My mind racing behind a cloud of smoke. The systematic deterioration of my life's work. yet most of the time I sit smiling, open minded to the possibility's, and to the actions that require an opposite and equal reaction to the options that lay dormant . Nothing came to mind. Rather id...

The Snakes in a field of Green
I inhale deeply, take the first step with desire in my soul to grow to be the seed replanted in the soil to receive Vitamin D from Father Sun I wanna be free, but I know I cannot fear living just because I breathe out my nostrils and out my mouth. I still hunger and desire for more for...

Out Loud
i can write it all down. every syllable, i never got to say. on paper, i’m fluent, maybe even eloquent. but in the room, my tongue turns against me. my throat locks like a vault. i’ve rehearsed it all before. in margins, in drafts, in dead message boxes i watch my voice rot behind my teeth, while everyone else converses. what good is articulation if it only echoes inside my own skull? what...

I'm a baby. I move constantly. Amazingly constantly. And I flutter hard. Amazingly hard. Why? Because I'm rehearsing. I'm rehearsing moving like I mean it. I'm rehearsing being strong like oak trees. I'm rehearsing dancing like butterflies. I'm rehearsing for rolling. I'm rehearsing for sitting. I'm rehearsing for crawling like little explorers. I'm rehearsing for walking like big kids. My...

REFLECT
Reflection Describes how one is seen Shows your opposite gene, In the light of day, I see the smiles Spreading around, bring it for a while. Ends up, we all fake it, it seems It was a reflection of what the world wanted to be seen Interchangeable we grief Leaving the past a mirror of our relief With every step on...

I’m not running from my life I just need this moment to think In these moments, in this open space…get a firm grip So many challenges, so many heartbreaks The obstacles … the major dips But I know I must keep moving on There’s much life to be lived. Past tears could create new oceans This awesome power lies with me. ...

Premium Member The Prismatic Self
"A silenced tongue weighs heavy against the soul," quote by poet. I sit amongst a single light, light illuminating a hand-built oaken desk, desk with pictures of the past lay out randomly around me, whilst I hear the whoosh of her oxygen machine droning on— breathing life into her failing lungs. Drowning in overwhelming emotions, I seek an outlet to...

Run On
Dear God, Let me run on Until my work is done For every mountain in my path Give me the strength to climb Let me run on Until my work is done For every river that is before me Give me the ability to swim and cross Let me run on Until my work is done For every thunderstorm that may appear Give me the wisdom to...
