  • Inside and Out

    Inside I am falling apart

    Like rain clouds, I hold it in till I burst...

    Tears running down my face like a rainstorm

    Wanting to scream as loud as the thunder, because maybe, just maybe, someone will hear my cries...

  • (you made me feel)

    I'll forget

    (the exact words,

    too many to remember)

    (I wish I wouldn't,

    I want to have you with me

    always)

    what you said.

     

    I'll forget

    (if we shared lunch

    or went downtown

  • The Corpse

     

    The shots rang out

    And I fell with a thud

    I was dead,

    For I could see myself covered in mud

    I felt an urge to float, away and away

    Slow Burn

    10.

    Trapped in fishing nets, 

    Tangled in wire and desperation.

    Your hair danced in the wind

    yesterday, and the trees

    turned your eyes green.

    You took

    a photo of me, my skin 

    flushed from the fire, my 

    eyes closed on accident

    and I took one

  • November

    A day as grey as

    the clouds above it

    And the hills, which have changed from green to orange to purple to a deepest blue in the fading light

    with a few bursts of yellow from the beech trees, holding on in their marcescence

  • The rain

    The rain scares me

    intimidates me

    loud and imposing and looming

    often arriving with thunder

    lightning

    sometimes power outages

     

    The rain comforts me

    soft drizzles rinsing out the hardships

  • Safe space

    My virtual home

    where I can make my words dance and no one can change the choreography

    where I can be loved by other people like me

    where I can realize that I'm not as alone in the world as I originally thought
