Tanisha Jackland Mar 2020
Nights are for
lullabies and the lonely
for naked moons
and spaceships
that hover then
disappear at a glance
the night is for
the learned
going inward
to soul force
It's exhilarating
to be in a world
without knowing what
will come next
for the night is
filled with ghosts
and the peace of growth
but most of all the night
brings us to be
ourselves free...
Tanisha Jackland Mar 2020
The real fiend is you
don't defeat him
or make him stupid
just sit with him
and feel his presence
Tanisha Jackland Mar 2020
What if
you were
guaranteed
the what ifs
never happen
will you then live
as though you were
the microcosm of
something so sacred
and bigger than
yourself
Tanisha Jackland Mar 2020
it is not ours to grasp
and hold in monumental panic
for what is ours is unseen
it cannot be tangible
but immutable
peace is already here
for you on the cusp
between something
and nothing
Tanisha Jackland Mar 2020
But do not go to sleep
Tanisha Jackland Mar 2020
I think Life and Death
are interchangeable
we are dead
when we should be
most alive
like in a middle
of a crush
not knowing when to
begin the fall into
to the awkward  
oblivion again
just one sweet
loop after another
