found

They have no reason
To care anymore
Most of the people
In the village have
Succumbed to the
Smash and grab
Back windows broken out
Kind of like
Sometimes you have to
Break your own heart a bit
To make sure you are
Loving yourself especially
When you’re walking
Away from something
That keeps you prisoner
From loving your own
Vulnerable insides
Your own best self
Burning down the walls
We let the air in
The sound of birds
Caught my attention
A seagull flying around
I fell back
Beached like a
Fabricated story
Once told by
A deceptive ex-lover
Painted effortlessly
While I’m left
Face down
Choking on the
Lies of soot and sand
I found myself

Lost Words

Different words
Hidden out beneath
Crawling up
From underneath
X-rayed
Like the awkward rock
That I turned over
We don’t know
What to expect
When we let go
Really ever
But we respect and we hope
To be accepted
To be loved
Even at our worst
Our most embarrassing

Loving the shamelessness
The deepest secrets
Our special shares
A person may not be
What we thought
When we find them there
But the learning
Of opening the book
Of the heart
Always taught me
To be stronger
More like myself

Judgeless

Giving permission to
Things we wouldn’t normally
Is a gift that is sometimes
Simply holding out
To open as flower
Of bared consciousness will

Found in you

Keeping away
What is that?

Tolerance
Vulnerability allows
Brain fog to lift
Captivating what is caring
In a completely open state
Spirit flailing
Only happens in the
Proximity
Of pure love

Open the window
To the better unknown
