Letting Go of Yesterday
Laying in a hammock Swaying back and forth Reminiscing long gone fun Remembering what was done. Sitting on a swing Poised above the ground In your eyes are tears About all the lost years. You can't fix the past But you can do this: Loathe? I don't think so Forgive your ex: let go!...

her light would reflect
Moon blooms like petals through a bulb, The skies within her break as glass. Most times she holds cup partway dark — Moon blooms like petals through a bulb, Only close, and open ~then some~ — The shadow of her going as Moon blooms like petals through a bulb The skies within her break as glass....

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...

Leg Walking
I walked with my legs straight into nightmares never saw another person coming up the stairs - Come to get me like that Breathed through my ankles lived from a rucksack slept in the tree house and walked like a quack quack - But don't you quote me on that Take three steps at a time never need no crutch didn't want a brother wasn't asking for...

Premium Member Moving Forward
At times this may be hard to do but must be done It may be easier to do after considering a fight won When it comes to moving forward the battle is within You know your destination and where you have been Doing this will require putting the past behind you Forgetting about everything you see in your rearview These...

Well, Loved
Like old paint, the discarded heart chips away where it lay in a hollow chest not unlike my own breast. In its prime, untainted by sin and made of sheepskin, its candy apple hue captivated everyone—especially the likes of you. However, who now could admire a color so mottled by misuse and so drastically duller? Verily, no unclouded eye could find merit in such a sorry trinket....

Wishful Glimpses Through Timeworn Windshields
I would Wish you The worst But yours Came true First Feels like That red light Gets longer every day Though I can’t Help but stare At the place I last kissed you Counting The cars In the driveway Making note Of the purple bike Left in the grass Picturing The perfect happenstance That you...

Dreams beyond home
She walks the streets she’s always known, But feels a longing deep, alone. A fire burns inside her chest, To leave, to grow, to find what’s best. Her heart beats fast when she thinks of far, Of distant lights and shining stars. A thousand questions fill her mind— Will she be lost? Will she be kind? She dreams of skies she’s never seen, Of...

Fear Of Moving On
My fear is standing next to my set future, While my heart’s stuck deep in the past. Still wandering lost in a love that’s gone, Caught between what was and what’s to come. Waking up every day, forever holding your peace, walking through the hours lost in your dreams. Lying...

Never Safe
Never Safe I’ve never felt safe, if I may be so bold, No warm shelter from nights so cold If walls were strangers, far or near, This silent place was built from fear. Their smiles were teasing, sharp and sly, Their hug a blade, an unspoken lie. I’ve had to breathe without a sound, Hid my tears, kept pain unbound. At night I whispered...
