I find myself
tripping on my own
two feet.
Nothing weighs
me down
but myself.
I set sail
searching for
myself
only to find
my own persona
******* in knots.

I am lost.

The need to forget,
Is like an addiction,
An unbelievable pain,
There's nothing like it,

I need it gone,
I need to forget it all,
I want it to become the mist from the morning,
The smoke from a cigarette disappearing Ito the sky,
Like magic abracadabra and it's gone,

I need it all gone,
Like feeling the high of nicotine,
The rush of being free,
Even if it is just for a few seconds,
To become disembodied and let it all float away,

The need to forget,
Is like an addiction,
One that I can never fulfil.
if i'm the rain
won't you be the wave
i can't stay away from
when the clouds
crack

if i'm the shore
won't you be the wave
wanting me
but just too afraid
to consume the whole of me

if i'm the strike of lightening
won;t you be the wave
i just miss
from striking

if i'm a part of the infinite sky
won't you be the endless wave
always forming
at the ankles
of my shadow
having a taste
of what we could have been

if we weren't so far apart
the sky
and the sea

climbing this path, i am still.
pausing to seek breathing slows,
wings unfurl as burdens drop
and here is Truth calling my name.

pulled into the arms of the Lover of my soul
the fear and fighting begin to ebb.
whisper to me the who of my being;
remove from my side the thorn of when.

open my eyes to the quiet retreat of darkness,
my heart and my hands to a new embrace:
family begotten of trials, tears and wounds
bound up by outstretched arms and words of grace.

though the moment be fleeting soft and bright
or longstanding steadfast with a quiet glow,
i know as i trip barefoot down
this is true Home where i shall return.
an exercise in writing about things that i find healing. i'm often able to write extensively about the brokenness. i'd love to be as able to express other sides.
Peaceful waters of the air
under echo's branches

peaceful waters of a pool
under a bough laden with stars

peaceful waters of your mouth
under a forest of kisses.
This night won't last
They never do
Laughing just isn't
The same without you
"The perfect time"
That's what you said
"Was never planned out
In advance"

Drink up my friends
Cheers to this day
We've made it threw again

And ten years from now
How will it be
Events in this place
Records incomplete
Will we look back at this
Remembering
How we used to be
Goodbye to our life now past

I can feel you drawing nearer
The thought of you makes me think clearer
The temptations there to grap
Just do it
Just do it, you keep saying
Just do it
Do it, no more praying

They sit in my hand,
Silently screaming I'll take you to a foreign land

They slide down, making me warm
I'll never be torn
I'll never be hurt

Lying there drawing my last breath, I thank you for coming into mind
For stopping time
