Downstream

Let’s move Sporadic destinations Budding emotionally physically beneficially   Let’s travel wherever you wanna go just take me Let’s get lost upon arrival Find our own way to nowhere   Let’s fall head over heals unguarded gullibly for silly jokes fast asleep into pools of cool water   Let’s move together Float like ocean spray …

Awaiting Direction

It’s bloodcurdling to care Wounds with the deepest scars Given too much to people Without one reciprocating bone in their body   Don’t let anxiety devour you When all signs point to no Craft a detour The alternative route never traveled   You are the exception.   Worlds wish on a thousand stars For one …

Lush

The wealthiest people in the world are the loneliest Do not be rich in money For money gives no love in return Money is for the materialist And the materialist has no love for others   So be rich in in love For love has the power to move planets To flip your world upside …

Imagine That

Write down your dreams All of them The near death experiences The beautiful ones Frightening Twisted Impossible Euphoric Even the heart shattering ones   Write. Them. Down.   Nine times out of ten Your dreams and reality Never match up But every once in a while You experience this familiarity Déjà vu You’ve breathed this …

Muddled

Sometimes the days feel so long it rips the life out of you. If you could only remember the highlights What you were doing it all for The purpose Recall what got you through the day Motivates you through the next Then it would seem as more of a gain than a loss More of …

Funding Feelings

Ups and downs Twits and spirals Headaches and heartbreaks Stress and strife   Then   Pleasantly plot twisted The planets align Life plateaus out Wild wonderland Surplus splendors Glittering giddy   Electric   Flock of butterflies Tongue tied Vulnerable Uncomfortably happy Don’t you see how we glow in the dark   Serene standstill Firefly frenzy …

Flourish

Tell me all that crushes you I’ll tell you all that inspires me Instead of drinking about it we can grow from it Instead of waking up having had two too many facing the unavoidable hangover Sleeping on it, the supreme reset Let’s confide in each other Explore beyond life’s limits Uncover hidden beauties Expand …

Shuffle

Electric moments, never cared for enough Silent delicate flashes Shrugged off   You’ve got to lay it all out on the table The floor Or any surface in proximity   You have to snap yourself out of the haze day-to-day blur Notice when you are ‘going through the motions’   Get uncomfortable Never stop developing …

Interval

I am not the hands on a clock, that is a mere distraction. setting of the sun, rising of the moon these do not control me. I never stop Visible universally Overabundant.   I am Wrinkles on your skin Permanent creases after decades of smiling begged for more of when a loved one is dying …

Transcendent

The ability to situate a certain emotion a moment into words. To verbally grasp what seems indefinable unexplainable. How hard it is to be confined to such a strict word box when trying to illuminate feelings experiences human interactions that far exceed the language barrier.   The poet is the conductor bringing forth a symphony …

Seasoned

I found you in the darkest hour there all along heavenly distraction a patched haven. But I was quick to recoil, retreat in the shadows. Like a flower picked too soon wilted away bleeding scattered veins never to fully bloom. August, a broken-down car on a fiery summer day.   You found me a downward …

Skipping a Beat

Astoundingly Affectionately You aligned imbalances in me   Calmly Cozily You crafted butterflies in me   Elegantly Ecstatically You energized movement in me   Gently Gracefully You grew and bloomed through me   Intimately Innocently You interested all of me   Kindly Knowingly You knitted broken parts of me   Mysteriously Magically You mirrored fragments …

Flashing Moments

Spontaneous dances in the rain Electricity from a first kiss Lying in grass playing with cloud formations Hugging a best friend after months that felt like years   Reaching a mountain’s summit, above the chaos Day naps, not a care in the world 6am winter bicycle rides, cold air stinging my lungs Cutting open a …

Stimulus

I’ve read a billion uniform recommendations Arrangements of words to inspire all attempting to utter the same prophecy Today is a new day, give it everything you’ve got I chose to put the book down change what I disliked about my life left stagnant relationships and pursued all that frightened me   Unhappiness is temporary …

Atypical

People can only take so much Only have so much to give They have their limits You are not worth breaking routine You are not worth change   That conversation in the coffee shop on the corner Didn’t affect them at all You never fit into their day for one second So don’t think you’re …
