Couldn't have said it better

South-by-Southwest

I write poetry
for eveything else
has failed

My life has no bottom
It's Hell down inside
my well

Do not feel like you are
sorry
Do not feel at all

Go write some kind of
poetry
It's better than digging wells

Within a Heartbeat

We carry our worlds within our hands

And communicate in time with our heartbeats

We can see the world from above and far away

Or the inside of ourselves in minute detail

Time can be tabled, abstract or meaningless

As we try to find our souls

We adapt to ever change

While love remains the same

HEART CHECK

Sometimes I neglect
To confess
But please know
I love you
With every last breath!

From the other room

Think first
Look at them
Take a breath
And remember
Do you really want to say it
Think
Maybe it’s better to just walk away
There’s a lot you want to say
But will it matter
Say what you will
Just Be careful
There are some things
That are just too vile, too mean, too gross to ever take back
So just
Just think
Please

Confusion

You know ,
Confusion is a clear
Symptom of abuse.
Healthy relationship
Are always clear
Like the deep blue sky
on a sunny day.

You always know
Where you stand
Like the deep blue sea ,
You do not waver

Yes, it is not always
Easy to let go
But
You’ve got to find a way
To let people go
And
Institutions that bring
Confusion in your life

Pruning is necessary to maintain a healthy relationship Often times a healthy relationship comes, not in the addition but in the editing. #pruned #growth

The wise

Who are wise?

Are wise the ones
who perceive to know everything,
Preaches this 'everything' to everyone around
and drives the endless dreams into a cage by their eminence.

or

Are they the ones
who begin with the notion of knowing nothing.
explores the endless horizons of wisdom,
and yet remain truthful to nothingness.

As 'Nothing' can never be shared
endless dreams can never be caged

Where You Rest

We don’t get
Those seconds back
Don’t look back
So fast
Or the memories
Might not last
Everything
Reminds me
Of when
You were here
The lessons
You taught me
Along the way
The laughs we
Had and the
Tears we cried
That time when
I had reached
The edge
& could take
No more
You remained
Calm to help
Me endure
Even though
You yourself
Were barely
Holding on
You’re now
Gone
But not
Forgotten
The memories
I’ll keep here
Forever
Until I’m
Where you rest

A tribute to my father. He passed away on 12/20/18 after battling terminal illness for many years. Despite everything he went through in life, he was there for me through some really difficult times. He drove over 1,000 miles to be with me for as long as he could while I was battling cancer and slept on my couch, drove me to chemo, and was a rock in a lot of ways despite not being in good health himself. I remember having a panic attack at one point while we sat in the car before going into one of my doctor appointments. He sat there very calm and quiet and offered his best advice. Now that he is gone, I feel like I never had the chance to thank him enough for everything he did. Just letting it out here.
