With a path laid out before us, chosen,
and for us to decide, we wrestle.
Life tugs us left and then right.
Experience breeds new thoughts; opportunities abound.
We touch, and its impact changes us.
What is is as hard as concrete, yet many believe in its fluidity. Leaving many to question reality.
Challenging our spirit.
Does life call us, or do we call upon life?
The beauty, I believe, settles upon how well we listen.

When did my confidence go to battle with my insecurities?
Why are they winning?
I know better.
I am better.
I will continue to thrive.
Go. It’s been done before,
I survived.
I would again.
Throwing a temper tantrum would never work.
Waiting patiently gets me nowhere.
Being my quiet self is far too dull.
All that is left is to use my voice, yet, the quiver I hear isn’t very convincing as I try.
Fearing judgment may keep me from the happiness I know I deserve.
Wanting to be a playground, but instead I’ve become too common.
Take what is yours, these words I hear constantly in my head, I used to believe they were meant for me to say to the one who truly wanted me.
Maybe it’s what I’m supposed to do.
Huh, it goes against who I believe I am, but being left alone is too.
i could get lost inside you,
graciously forever, often
yearning for the
direction
you show,
beauty
you create,
protection
you offer,
mystery
you provide,
colors
you inspire,
dreams
you conduct.
without them, i
wouldn’t know where to begin
and incredibly certain
i wouldn’t want to.

Writing it out. ♡
This desire
To be
Taken
Adored
Protected
Loved
Why is it all
Living
The Past
The Future
Why not
Take
Adore
Protect
And love
This is
Desire
This is
Now
I’m told
It’s all
We have.
Contemplated life
Eternity the distance
Stone faced, sat due west
All I keep thinking
is I took you home with me,
from here: my world.
Inside me,
there is a rhythm,
a melody and a presence
I recognize.
Weakening into a strength,
inside this cool air,
allowed me
to breathe, to feel
and be myself.
The quietness,
awakening my core
as I heard the sound of love;
pure devotion, nothing more.
I keep this spirit,
this lead, and confidence,
close.
You’re thriving,
more than simply alive
behind my breasts.
You’re beating continuously,
effortlessly wild,
yet, this isn’t enough.
I belong with you, here.
Move quietly,
Listen,
Within my whisper.
Tell me, why,
Have you,
Since our first hello,
Felt like,
The rest of my life?
Even wistful tears know where to fall,
Upon fingers used, descriptive,
Wishing to lay upon accomplished hands.
Within dreams,
Requiring escape,
Leagues allowed,
And held,
By love.
Unarmed
Calm, yet concealed
By the edge of you
Misty you
Felt laying atop my skin
Most comfortable
listening for love,
dusk performs,
beautifully.
breeze and briny,
matched, perfect,
desires plashing.
an endless encore,
sips, if for once,
you kissed me.
Moonlight path sparkles,
Guiding my hazel eyes,
Evening winter walks,
By the sea’s side.
Waiting here,
Torture,
Salty air,
Reminds,
Rhythmic waves,
Taunt,
Inamorato’s lullaby.
Moon tries,
Soothing,
But, he’s gone again,
Weary is the traveler,
Who stole my heart.
Midst the fog
Beyond what we know
We’ll wait
Exhaling fear
Calm, isn’t it
Life’s out there
And he’s near
Breathe
Sisterhood,
Together we are one.
I cannot deny your essence,
Nor could I ever measure beside,
But, just so we become verily clear,
Your existence now surrounding him:
Champion of versed rooted strength,
Provides my journey’s refinement.
I am you
You am I
Leaning into the remedy of his skin,
My eyes upon your desire to be close,
I witness your valuable life flourishing,
Becoming tolerant of your nearness,
Understanding why we’re both here,
I begin to care for you, as well.
Your presence nourishes me,
He, is pleased.
Even the strongest of men
Will crumble
Choosing flight
Over fight
Who could ever blame them?
Wary of your destined flow,
Not knowing if you’ll return,
To me, is terrifying, always.
Peace soothes,
My mind
My desire
My heart
In your absence.
The deep impression of your approach,
Breathes into my obedient soul,
When I’m quiet enough to honor you.
trust an ending,
with the spirit, used
believing in beginnings,
yes, we must
Leaves of summer time,
Swaying, as they change,
Russett crinckles lightly,
Verdant linger and hang.
Azure setting, awesome,
Middle of the night,
Discovering peaceful rest,
Surrendering under autumn.

Go find joy in your dreams. Hmm…
