I now see why people call it
"falling in love",
because you don't just trip,
you can't stand up after
and dust the dirt and blood off of your knees
like nothing ever happened
if the one you are falling for you
doesn't catch you
you can't patch it up with band-aids
and hydrogen peroxide
it's not a little trip
it's an enormous, mountain high fall
and if you don't land just right
you wind up with a broken heart
instead of broken bones

sinking slowly into the sea
it is no mystery
giving a wink
you let me sink
I was at my brink, you didn't even think;
down the drain i went.

heart beat
no noise in the streets
keeping me warm like my sheets
seclusion
i do hope it’s a delusion
like the peculiar patterns and hues
in my views when on lsd
but it is just my lonely blues
a muse?
-no
just the sensation unsought
swallow down the negative thoughts
me and my shadow
far from shallow perhaps sallow?

Little flower don’t you cry
the rain will come soon
you will not die
it has been awhile since you've smiled
morning glory don’t tell another sad story
if you whimper it will make you limper
colors of tears will not hydrate your petals.

the moon is waxing
the tide is flowing
my soul is coming into estrus

there are no answers
only decisions to be made
actions to be taken

the universe is waiting
courting my being
an invitation to expand

She sits at the loom
Weaving the fabric
Interwoven with dreams
The threads of trust and surrender
It’s an intimate mesh of finery
The colors of passion dyeing it
To hues of crimson, from the blushes
Of the maiden weaving her dreams
Intricate designs adorn the taffeta
With the future of love and togetherness
The bonding of a strong fabric of Love
To drape them over their bare bodies
Together, gazing at the starry skies
As they descend to adorn the drape
Shimmering with the passion of Love
The maiden and her lover, has woven a drape
Celebrating their togetherness
For Love has bonded them with fabric of Love
A drape so intricate and warm
For Love shall always be draped, till eternity
