Poétique

Dispelled

Why is
Fear creating conflict?

I want to be
Part of what magic you are
Manifesting
Even a little

Can we adhere to be
Bound by love
Glued to the surface?

You are one hundred marks of the way
To an answer

I adore you

Vehemently close
To calling out the truth

A constellation or two
The name of the wind
The way I looked at you yesterday

How would you call my face?
Almost in love
Just a little bit hungry for affection
Thirstier than usual
Also scared?

I feel great patience for
Animals to finally speak
One day manifesting even
What we cannot say to one another

Today we are less frightened
Today we are more in love
Than yesterday

I have no discomposure
The distance between us
Doesn’t embarrass me
I find it’s calming exposure
Palpable and crystal clear

Swallowed up in our dark matter
Saturated by the time we shred
The opposite of dead
Convinced and alive

You furnish a table
For talking out
Many ideas

We crave
A brave and steady top
To rest our fearless spells on
In promised love

Break the Ice

Frozen like a block of ice
If only you could melt into my flow
Into my arms
That can show you how to grow
Out

Stuck still in your own way
Afraid
Afraid
Afraid

No fear
Open up
Share your heart a different way
Give into the necessary shift
I’ll be here in the bed
Down the hall
In every room of your head
If you let me in

I’ll shine a light
Down your darkest of paths
All the mind shafts
Give you something to
Hold onto

Which ever way
You choose to welcome me in
Through the backdoor
Or front

I want to get to know
The real you
Trust is hard
Trust is hard
Trust is hard

But we can do this
Nothing to fix
Just a momentary blip
As we slip into a new
Reality

Together

Not all the wealth in the world
Can clothe a human being in love
Look to the infinite
Universal healing
Love that is all around you
It is free
You were born with it
Inside you
If you still can’t find it
I will hug you
Come and find me
Or tell me where you are
And I will meet you there

The Difference

I suppose the difference
Is me
I imagine impossible
Possibilities
I want what makes life
Easy
To come to me
To come to us
But I feel also helpless
Almost boring
Not because of you
But because of me

Goodbye to being
This carefree
It’s turning into
Thinking about
Too many things
That’s what being alive can be
Even unintentionally
To try thinking less
And just being
Sounds very comfortable
But not realistic
Wait and see
I’m hopeful
I’m happy we had this moment
I feel a bit like timber
In a forest full of trees
Fallen down
Quietly
Or leaning
Heavily at least
Towards you

Why Do You?

Why do you tear me down
When I need you to build me up
When will your insecurities
Stop stealing all our love
Why are you so reckless
With my feelings
Why are you so clumsy
With my heart
It’s like you have no awareness
At all for the fires that you start
What about the moments
You’re tearing us apart
It’s no wonder I don’t want to be touched
When you constantly hurt me this much
This song should really be called
It’s All About You
Your insecurities fly away
With all our feelings
On a plane

I just need a cloud to rest
My heavy heart on

Finding Me

Feeling forced into a situation
But fighting to save it
Two very different dynamics
Working against each other

What does anyone say my dear?
Where am I?

Who is this?

You don’t have to respond
You aren’t required
Skip over the hurt knowing
That if we focus on the negatives
The positives divert-

Paint my nails yellow
Hang in
Hang on
Don’t recreate the moment
Wait for the moment to come
On its own

Kiss someone if I want to
Feel good about it
Be myself
My whole self
Completely
And see what happens
That’s…
Something I haven’t been
In a long time

How intoxicating

Therapy

She says that she
Is an empath
She isn’t picking up on
My signals

Assuming incorrectly
She doesn’t ask
She is making
A decision
To get better

Might as well
I mean hell
It’s much more comfortable
In therapeutic congregation
Than having
An uncomfortable
Conversation about it
In real life
Truth serum
Is too blatant

No one wants to be called out

Nowhere to hide
From the furrow

Embrace the woman
You’re becoming
And not the child
You used to be

Lest ye burrow

Caught up in wanting
To do something about it
Rather than just doing it is

A contradiction
If you’re tongue tied with
The people standing
In front of you
Who want to understand you
Who want to love you

Help me find the cure for you
Like a medicine woman
Healing every cell
Of your alcove

If You Ever

If you ever think something is off with us
Know that I love you

If you ever think I’m upset with you
I love you

If you ever wonder if I’m okay
I love you

If my smile seems to drag a bit
I love you

If you ever wonder if we’re still friends
I love you

You are a light in my life
One that I will never take for granted
Something to always treasure

I love you forever

Get Up

Get up off the ground
Don’t make me drag you around
One way or the other
You’re coming with me
Get up off the ground
Love me or hate me

You will never forget me
But I hope that you will love me and say
Thank you for being my grace
Thank you for loving my face

At the end of the tunnel
There is a light
I know it looks really bright
But there is actually darkness on
The other side

Trust me even when your blinded
By this unpredictable life
I will not leave you behind
I am your castle I am your rock
In these sands of time
I am yours and you are mine

Everything will fade away someday
But I will be here anyway
The earth moves things around
Unsettles the ground we pave
Reminding us that we can’t
All be happy at the same time

I am always here for you

Makeup

While you talk about the woman
Who’s makeup isn’t on quite right
Do you know how hard it was
To show her face today in light?
Pull herself out of her bed
Tuck herself in late at night?
The best that she could do
Is amazing in my eyes
Thank you for showing up
Today my dear
Thank you for sharing
Your sweet smile
Thank you for taking time
To share your light
With us
You’re so inspiring
