Is it ever going to be over?
This feeling of never-ending constriction,
That I’m never going to leave this numbness,
So full of feelings I’d much rather ignore.

Will I ever escape the hole inside my mind?
A hole in a universe spinning around the same thoughts,
******* in pain into the nothingness that is me.

I’m suffocating. But I’m the one holding the pillow over my face.

I want to get better.
I want THIS to go away.
I want to let it go.
But what if THIS is me?
Am I prepared to let go of the only me I’ve ever known?

What if it is me, and I am it?
What if it’s all I am and all I’ll ever be?
What if I’m nothing if I get “better”

Within a single day's blink.
Fuschia buds blossom
an exquisitely pale pink.
Impatient branches wear
their now exotic veil.
The leaves felt ******
throbbing in the gale.
Wind ruffled petals,
Glisten with dew.
The stagnant empty winter
is now a voluptuous floral view.
The naked pink will call to you.

I do not tire
I am invigorated
by your cards
your mouth
your desire
never ending fascination
I am your love
sought in this time
happily bound in eternities
inevitably collapsed in our unity
thank you, love
for joining me here
in this existence
I did not know
I would need you so

Some doors are meant to stay unopened,
Some questions left silent in the air,
Some chapters end without conclusion,
Some paths often lead to nowhere.

Not every story needs an ending,
Not every wound needs words to heal,
Not every heart requires mending,
Not every truth needs a big reveal.

There's wisdom in quietly leaving,
There’s grace in letting mysteries be,
There’s peace in simply believing
That what must flow will find the sea.

So loosen your grip on expectations,
Release the need to understand,
Accept the silent explanations,
Because it is not a part of your plan.

a smile can make all the difference
but beware the beguiling wolf.

today melds slowly into yesterday
a day gone forever, seemingly
but we can only see-
as far as the end of our nose
