I love to read
it helps me
travel the world
the pages
in a book
help me escape

What lovely lies,
What harsh goodbyes,
You owe nothing,
But yet they beg for just one something,
Faced with despair,
Let faith prosper,
Failure is not an option,
In two days you may be homebound
But it's been fourteen since silence and no sound,
In the mind you may be tired,
We have been up fired,
There is no expectations,
And all we have left is imagination,
Thoughts and creations,
Hoarding relations,
It is cruel,
But what to do when there really are no rules,
Lier, lier, hold no power,
To you it means nothing,
To others it's meant to be understanding,
That no words can compare to the actions you are condoning,
Just say it out, the silence,
feels like it's turning to violence,
Hatred is beginning,
As love is diminishing,
But they still hold on,
They try to stay strong,
Ode to being home bound.

Currently homebound.
Soon to be housebound.
Joyful ramblings.
Sleepy mumblings.
Traveling by car.
Scars still settling.
My therapist is awaiting me.
Someday, the trauma will be worthwhile…
For now, let’s celebrate!
Someday I will remember…
But today I am homebound.

Home, all alone
On a snowy January day
My frozen driveway
Exceptionally cold,
Bitter cold, I’d say,
On this foul Friday
Understandably gloomy,
Never so lonely now …
Disappointing, anyhow!

Desert flowers drench the roadside
Route 12 gone at high tide.
Heard they busted another one,
Fly high.
Barrel smoking like it’s on fire.
Moonshine.
Illuminate the lifeless fields.
Cherry wine.
Dripping from the cactus leaves.
Dripping from the jagged teeth
Coyote thirsty from the heat.
Rubber tires melting,
seeping through the cracked ground.
Crickets singing,
They’re drowning in the sound.
Homebound.

Buried Alive
These walls....
they laugh at me but no one else hears
They steal the very breath of me
...but no one seems to notice
They blare a suffocating silence
Leave invisible abrasions from unseen restraints
These walls I once called home
These walls have become my coffin
~FJ Thomas
Most of us run through varying emotions at times. It helps to jot them down and get them out ;) These walls can be emotional or very literal. Usually the one causes the other to collapse in along with it.
The important thing is to remember that there are others who very much understand how you feel; you are not alone. So never give up!

Here they sat
Detached from reality
evoking their stagnant passion
Calling to mind the scattered emotion
reliving the certain days
Of lively jabs
Gathering of glee
And resounding vibes
Alas the cloak falls
The chiming stops
The wheels is clog
The wind is dumb
The zeal is numb
Sure feet approaches
The still minds
Echoing from the distance
The bellowing wind
That would waft away
The stilled one
With a leafy branch
Homebound

Now and here:
See things clear
Go and come
Match the sums
Meet and greet
On fine streets
Home and heart
Love funds art
Space and time
Feel fond chimes
Touch and lift
Joy funds gift
In your face
Warmth and grace
Look and see
Love set free
In the air
Thrill knows flair
Feed kind thought
Play speeds lot
Homebound speed
Joy soothes need
Home and heart
Peace imparts
