Bird’s song
The security of each day, when the bird sings his praises.He sings the promise of his heart.He tucks his family away, while he hunts and hollers with the other melodious fellows.Upon his return, his family has long awaited his arrival. He nurtures his loved ones and leaves the nest again for the next meal.His babies…

Sparkle
Twirl around until the wind envelops you.Kiss the sky as the sun smiles back!Weigh your existence.Stand with pride as your kickstand.Emotions run unevenly through the bloodstream.Laughter is the key.Turn on the light.Feel your surroundings. Lay in a pool of thoughts.Do not drown in reasoning.Lose yourself in resilience.Happiness derives from inside.Let warm thoughts find you home.-Soul…

The cat’s meow
What would suffice to one whose needs can never be met?How twisted of moral that does not exist.Trying so hard to meet expectations out of your reach can be quite exhausting.You swirl around in this tiny membrane mush thinking of ways to make frayed ends meet, but there’s never any spark.What can be more enticing…

Addressed to God
The depths of my sorrow.The weakness of my soul.Everyone thinks they know me, but truly you’re the only one who knows.I come to you for advice.You are my true best friend.I know you’re always around to watch over me and listen.I feel your strength in the love you send.Your image I’ve never seenYour voice I’ve…

Fellow sister-friends, who stand taller together,…

Mixed up
You rained down on me. Luckily I brought my umbrella. Ringing the telephone. Such nonsense. Use me, as you have done so many times. I am building a covet with only one entrance. Love is the only guest welcome. Unlikely to hear your voice, my hands begin to shake. Love is entering the bloodstream. Detachable…

Unthinkable Disaster
The thoughts going through my mind seem to be wandering in different directions. I shovel through the piles of dismay and misunderstanding. I haven’t a clue what I could have possibly done to make my love feel unsure of me. I am encompassed by all of the Sun Gods around me. I perish the thought…

Impatient
I wish I could erase you from my head.Rip you from my body.Leave me all to myself.Pain-stricken.Love-sickened.You scold me for telling the truth.You rot inside of me.A sour image, Poor you, poor you.How could you portray this side?You hide behind your eyes.You reek of lies. Deny me all you want.You know where you belong.Clamming up…

Frozen
An addict is never free until their mind is altered. Every day and in every way, they want to find an escape. They long for peace of mind, and for confirmation that there is happiness in reality. It is never found. They are trapped inside their mind, and they cannot breathe. They are tired and…
