as we lay beside by the ocean
foggy from disembarking daybreak
sat up befuddled as she kissed me

I am water,
I flow single mindedly in search of the sea,
I am a fast moving torrent of rage,
As I rumble over the shallow rapids,
I am a slow and lazy pool of the darkest, still depths,
I...

I collect smiles
From those I haven’t seen in a while
They always remind me why
I feel blessed to be a part of their life
Their light, their insight and quiet
Feelings of comradery and cheer
Kindness that is so...

Branches sway as their leaves catch the breeze.

Watch the flight of birds flying high
Soothing my dreams with light

There is a well rehearsed deception; it is a contagious infection.
It sooths, it moves, while unnoticed it distorts individual perceptions.

I don’t have a friend to go to
One who feels just like I do
They might say they understand
But they can’t truly see within
It’s only You

Who knows my dreams
It’s...

little sapphire buds unfolding fragrance.

yet clinging to what left of...

Shattering the silence calm facade. 
Raging with passion reverberating laughter, 
The gales unrelenting moaning and thrashing 
Provoked and spawn inscrutable terror.

Hidden in the darkness by torrential rain
And shadows...

Their voice is everything the universe is not

Men adore the...

Promising tomorrows, giving today

A traversable feeling growling into conviction—

A rock for the lame

Where do I find home in which to land?
Do I seek...

Opinionated people with possibly distorted truths
The loudest ones thinking they are winning
Many others consulting psychics and say-sooths,
My sis and I agree on one thing, we are twinning.

The loudest ones thinking they are winning

Rippling water

Smooths my tears

Silk and thread

Ribbons and lace

Sooths my deepest fears

The darkness swallow's the sun deep

And my heart nearly burst from all the secrets I keep

The silver lining I hold to my flesh and slash

Leaving...

Consumed by my own thoughts and feelings
