In The Glow

I want to lick
the sun
Take my hand
and come
dance
with me
in the glow
Let's balance
on the beams
Feel the
warm light
Let me be
your gravity

Strong Enough

I've let
my hands
untangle
themselves
I've let
them rest
in the river
Felt
the water
tickle my
hands
I close
my eyes
and let these
moments
sink in
The moments
when I know
I'm strong
enough
to move
through
anything

Uncovering

I'm yearning
to know
these parts
of myself
I never knew
existed

My Beating Heart

Give me space

I say to my heart

Only I have the eyes

to see what I need

Only I have the mouth

that can call for
the things I crave

You can watch me drift

if that’s what you see

But I know
that I’m not drifting
aimlessly

There's a purpose
in my direction
Even if no one 
can see the patterns
in my wake
I know the things
I need
The things
I crave
It's up to me
to be open
For the sake
of my own
beating heart

Soothing

You make
the wild spoons
lay softly
against
the linen
Like cool drops
of rain

Rusted Stilts

Your rusted stilts
were born to break
You keep your heart tied
to the ones that shake
Will you ever wake
When all the dreams
turn into dust
You lose the face
you wanted to trust
Are you just like him
Waiting on the wall
not ready to swim
And you can't give in
I thought I had
a hold of your heart
I watched you bleed
right from the start
And it looked like art
Now the splinters
have dug themselves in
You thought having me
meant that you win
Now you drip with sin
I can't drink
the tears you don't cry
I just watch as the years
fly by and by and by

This Wave

This wave
is beating me
Like a rabid
salty knife
