Strangers Watching

If we weren’t human And we were sitting outside of ourselves staring, Invisible through the windows of a cafe, We, humans--we would appear exquisite to the non-sapiens we were. We’d seem captivating with our long hair of a bright coral color, Or our fluffy and tight curls of brown. We’d seem vibrant, so creative, so…

Pebbles

To Dream I often like to learn in the background, observe, not engage. I like to see the big scene, notice and absorb things. Then I like to ask questions—Why? Who? What did he do that for? Then sometimes I like to think, but mostly, I like to dream. How to Move A Mountain It…

Love in the Wind

A love as fleeting as the wind. You can have it, But never hold it. We’ll all try to, But never control it. We will all want it, But it’s futile. We will never own it. We will give everything we have to give—our time, our love, for some family and blood, But it will…

Love Oneself

To love oneself Is to be humble, And to be wise. To be understanding And a blessing to other lives. It doesn't need to compare. Because it knows you are greatly valued, Understands you are treasured, And sees that you matter— Not just to someone, but for so many. To love oneself is to know simply Why…

Life is a Parable

If life were a parable, Would you understand? Would you take the time to seek the teacher and ask the right questions? Would you hear the parable and seek its meaning? Or Would you turn your eyes? Would you be seeing, yet not perceiving? Would you turn blind, stop up and deafen your ears? Though…

A Thousand Moments Like Those

We may never have a moment where we just chill. no need to say anything. we sit and not speak, where we'll sit and just think. with no words needed. they will remain unspoken. and thought is our token. I'd like it better if we, just, relax, because we don't have to try. I'll know what you…

Perfect

I don’t like you because you’re perfect. You have issues with commitment and being consistent. And staying true, although I know you Want a family one day. But we’re only getting older babe. And you'll find yourself alone, if you keep living that way. But I don't like you because you're perfect. You have this thing…

Afterthoughts

You told me once that you ‘know me better than I think.’ And part of me wanted to ask ‘what's that supposed to mean?’ But the other side of me won. Because if there was anybody at all, then you were the one, who could tell me all about my wants and needs that you…

Home with Me

We hadn't talked for a long time, but when you heard my voice again you felt it was home. Home. Yet I feel like you still avoid me like the plague. It hurts me, you know. I know you loved me once, and I believe you love me now in a way. But still you keep…

A Year from Yesterday

A year ago today, I didn't think things would be this way. I didn't expect for you to be there, Where I could meet up with you. Or for me to be here, Where I would need you. I didn't expect for things to change so much. I've loved so deeply And yet, I've lost so much.…
