The Garden Within

I don’t want  to hold onto you anymore, said the voice in my head Oh, but you will regardless, piped my heart, kneeling in a garden of flowers plucking out the weeds one by one.

Words that Cut

I want my words  to cut you  slice you into tiny pieces to make you understand how it feels to wrap your self-worth  in trivial things like messages from you. 

Welcome the Imperfection

They say the soul is imperfect  with edges rough, irregular  soft yet varied and that your purpose  in life is to find the person who can make you feel whole — but what a waste of time trying to find another soul when you can enjoy  the lovely one inside you. 

Unabridged

Let this drum beat  cut the ties between us,  clean off the cobwebs  on an old instrument  I used to play for myself  music so sweet  I almost forgot  my own body’s hymn  a rhythm  meant for this soul unabridged. 

Same Open Field

You make me wanna run as fast as I can feel the wind in my hair as I look back to see if you’re still there,  running through the same open field we’ve been promised for too long.

Limbo

Learn to live in limbo with the truth and what could be

Bloom

You pop in and out of my life like the sun slips in front of and behind the clouds  a fickle force of nature, yet I still turn to you  to help my flowers bloom.

Sampling Truth

This feeling  wells up in my chest I feel it brimming  to the top of me until it’s teetering  over the edge  and I can see you smiling  to yourself  and so I sit back wishing quietly  that I could take a bite of you  hoping maybe I can taste the truth.

To Land

You were so familiar running my fingers over the keys of this old typewriter  almost Like I’d written  your name before, but when I pressed  the first letter  of your name, years of rust  both upheld & defended the key from landing.

Thoughts Like Balloons

Do thoughts of me caress your mind like fingers running  through your hair? Because thoughts of you  swell in my mind expanding like balloons and popping under the prick  of a single pin.
