Legacy

On Time's ornate shelves
we will soon find ourselves.
Be it in a week or a decade,
each of us will eventually fade.
But our lexis and our prose,
kept in books stacked in rows,
black inked words on yellowed pages,
of our worth will be the gauges.

How To Love a Girl Who Can't Love Herself

one.

    When she cries herself to sleep
    six out of seven nights a week you must
    say nothing. You must simply take
    her in your arms and kiss her gaunt,
    pale cheeks and wait for her to
    slumber at the sound of your heart.

two.

    On the days where she wishes she
    were part of the stars, tell her
    no. Tell her that there are too many
    lights in the sky and that just one
    would be forgotten the moment you looked
    away from it. Tell her that she is perfect
    the way she is: completely human.

three.

     Don't let her think about the scars
     that no one but her can see. If she
     says "I think I'm broken" smile like you
     know a secret and say, "No, you're mending."
     But do not be the one to fix her - no, she
     must be the one to do it herself, and you
     merely are there to quietly encourage her.

four.

     Read her poetry (even if you are
     not a poet), the kind that uses
     flowery words and compares girls to
     the moon; the kind that you will
     rewrite for her. Make her a warrior.
     Make her a goddess with eyes like a
     wolf's and a smile like a tiger's.

five.

     Laugh with her the first thing in
     the morning and the last thing before
     you fall asleep. Tell her cheap puns
     that you've been thinking of for weeks.
     And when she smiles - the type of smile
     that could bring you to your knees if
     you aren't careful - know that for the
     moment, she's yours. She is whole.

six.

    Love her. Love her like a fish loves
    the sea or a bird loves the sky. Love
    her in the way that your heart feels like
    it's going to burst at any moment every
    time it beats. Love her skin and the way
    it feels against your own, soft and warm
    and utterly flawless. Love her for the way
    her voice trembles when she can't keep it
    together anymore and love her when she
    holds onto you as if you were the only
    thing that was keeping her alive.

seven.**

     Love her, because some days she just can't do it herself.

Innocent Warrior

I'm not fine
I'm not okay
sick of everyone
assuming that I am
assuming that this blinding pain
doesn't bother me
like this giant hole
doesn't consume me.
Like the gun in my hand
doesn't scare me
Because honestly?
in this moment
in this
second
I don't even know
who I
am

I'm going to start a series that involves alot of "warriors". Hope you like it!

i used to love hearing
my grandmothers laugh
i tried everything i could
to get her to smile
her heart was full
close to bursting
with the love she felt
no unkind words
escaped her lips
and she listened with an intensity
that burned through her eyes

since she's been gone
i have yet to feel
another love like that.

a very special lady, she was,
in every sense of the word.

Desire

pale blue kimono
all birds and cherry blossoms
that spills down your curves
and falls open as you glide
gifting me the briefest glimpse
of sweet paradise

Sweetheart

~~¤~~

S-weetest ever, sweetest heart
W-earing a smile, I love so much
E-veryday, everynight
E-very moment of my life
T-hankful I am for your gift
H-eart of mine wants to receive
E-very drop of your rain
A-sk me now if there is pain
R-ead my eyes, my lips, my deeds
T-rue love of mine, you're all I need

The Gift

~~¤~~

Christmas had passed
New Year is coming
And I haven't wrap a gift for you

Yet I see it here
Shining like the sun
Something that won't make you blue

I've kept it for so long
To give you as present
Though I can't send it right

Still, I have this hope
That you will hold it well
When the time is right

I wish you will take care
You won't let it cold
It will stay so warm

Or maybe hot enough
Through the test of times
Away from all the harms

Yes, I have a gift for you
A very special gift
I want you to receive

This is only for you
My life, my everything
My all I want to give

~~¤~~

Happy New Year!!! <3<3<3

The Gentle Brave

Before I raise my voice
I will lower it to hear you

I will listen
to the undercurrent of your thoughts
your pain and the sound your tears make
when they fall
when they are left uncried

I will walk with you, trace our steps back
to that fork in the path where good things fall
through a pocket hole and burdens
hitch a piggy back ride

I hear you
I see you
let's take a walk

I will be brave with you
let us gently extricate
dreams lost from
underneath that heavy rock

Don't be afraid
if you get lost
I will raise my voice to find you

when you hear me
my voice will bring you back

Inspired by a gentle, yet brave voice. I hear you. I am walking back, dreams in my pocket, burden off the back.

God's Love

If there's one thing I've discovered
It's God's love never lets me down
Yeah I fail him daily
But at the end of the day
He doesn't turn me away

So who am I not to run towards him?
For he has a greater purpose for me
Don't believe me?
"Jeremiah 29:11" is what you'll need

YOU ARE....

........a dove,
a lamb,
     symbolizing
         peace
             humility
             obedience
             and purity...

........with a heart
constantly wounded,
     and bleeding,
             yet...
             infinitely
             forgiving...

........light,
emitting
     warmth
          love
              compassion
                  understanding...
                  welcoming,
                  with
                   open arms...

........a Host,
feeding
     throngs,
        multitudes...
                your
                bread,
                feeds the soul...

........a warm
    embrace...
         your love
         is
         our Shield,
         our Refuge...

The Impossible Metaphor

I wish there was
a metaphor
for that freckle
on your face
and the scar
on your right knee

I wish
that I could capture you
in a metaphor
or three

for I'd dedicate just one
to the way
you look at me

then encapsulate
your voice
and the way it folds love meek
in the warmth
of your embrace
and the power of your grin

the third I would
set free
in the spirit
of your kiss
and the promises
it keeps, a tomorrow
in the spring

But there is no such a metaphor
I have searched
so far and wide
no verse, no word or rhyme
you are simply
the one metaphor
that is impossible to write

set so deeply
in the mind
so much deeper
in the heart

You are the pen that drives my hand as I sit down to write on a crisp December night
