Empty

Maybe we are in love with emptiness
Which explains why we feel it so deeply

The Sun

Does not need to be present for this moment to exist
We will not write soliloquies begging for guidance
We can dance in the dark
Let us embrace our presence
We are not mistakes or flat line hospital halls
Empty promises don't share our address

We are light
Falling forever upward
Into everything we were meant for

So step into this infinity
Crack open our sternums
Display our brilliant capacity
Radiating life
Between broken bird cages and forgiveness

Let us love as the sun
Endlessly expelling energy in every direction
Without expectation of return

Leaking lakes of Methane gas in Siberia
Scientific data to price
Changing 2 degrees
has caused *mass extinction
Melting glaciers

Zika in Florida
Ignorance from the government
Refusal of proof

an angry poem about climate change; including many facts I learned from my Environmental Biology class. This isn't a political poem, it's a poem of facts and truths.

Habitual Breathing

Breathe into me like I am better than the disasters of my past
Kiss me as if tomorrow won't be an apology waiting to happen
Forgive me for loving you more than myself

Step into this
Fall into my arms
Let me carry our hearts broken, and complete

Work in progess

Love me like I am no longer broken bones in a working body
Find that I am still whole yet divided
Forgive me for never loving myself
This dream I have still projects itself
Knitting the sky together with plea agreements
Begging for you to finally see me clearly
The rain is gone and we are still here
Broken bones heal and I am still alive
But know that I am trying
Trying to be better than me
Working at building a future out of hand grenade pins
Pulled from mistakes thrown out of my life

ABC

Allow me to be found
Between book ends and whiskey bottles
Creating mishaps between the both of us
Dreaming of a chance away from here
Echo the hallow chamber of our bedroom
Finding every lost chance we had at communicating
Ghosts
Hoping someone will take notice
I am here
Just a passing ship in the night

Here

I am nothing more
Than brittle bones
And a frail heart
Praying
For someone
To make me better
