I'm gonna need all the healing vibes in all the worlds pointed at this guy, please. I'd even take thoughts and fucking prayers.

Wading downstream from half a life led loose
All its wreckage bobbing by in the mind
Whimsical-like in the dappled light of memory

A bored and distant inner sun
Keeps checking his watch

It's almost quitting time

wobbly-drawn pictures,
first poems, special crystals,
and new handwriting's
first scrawls at "I love you mom"

Studying the Kabbalah
so I can simultaneously
learn from and criticize

Mercy
she screamed
in fog
demons of night
howled back
rain returned
lashing
deliciously
on the window
setting the mood
for banishing

There have been times life when I've considered it's the only reason I'm here. To awaken people so they can move on and live. It's both fulfilling and not.

Against a black, starry sky. Two puppeteer hands- one with a brain on strings and the other with a heart.
Below, is a woman, seen from the back, with her hair in a bun. She reaches up to touch the heart, which creates sparks.

I #bathe myself
in spectral music
as peripheral specters
dance
around me,
I find myself
in a blanket
of tears,
seeking the afterglow
of an otherworldly experience,
touching life-
after death

couldn’t leave well enough alone
had to poke
those half-healed wounds
open wider
‘til we both bled out
with smiles on our faces

Great timing with this message. It answers some of the weight on my mind. Thanks, Hera

To love is to be crazy.

To love through the crazy, sometimes you just have to forgive the illogical.

And when hardship is unavoidable…
you can bet you are being called to level up in some way.

If you’re going to feel the pain, take the rewards too. 💕

My feet
fell off.
My legs,
my arms,
my ears,
my nose.

I am all
parts and
pieces.

Foxes,
wolves,
and insects—
carrying
me away.

when
i drown—
i drown in you,
only to surface,
a breath to steal
once upon a wish—
sentient hunger,
born anew.

I promised you The Ballade of Eric the Butcher, so here it is!

Eric he was a butcher meek
He and his wife they had a stall,
Roasting joint, or sirloin steak
Eric and Sarah sold it all
The customers in Sarah's thrall
All drawn in by her smile so sweet
They knew whatever time they'd call
Eric never ran out of meat

But here our tale becomes more bleak,
For times are hard and meals are small.
When all around the streets we seek
Often to find nothing at all.
The bakers and the grocery stall
Barely have even crumbs to eat
Yet somehow even through it all
Eric never runs out of meat.

No one's seen Sarah for a week
Maybe she's ill could someone call
Over to Eric's house and see
Can anything be done at all
I'd hate to see that family fall
After all they've done for the street!
Surely they're fine though, after all
Eric never runs out of meat

Bones on the floor, blood on the wall
Butcher dragged out into the street
Now we know just how through it all,
Eric never ran out of meat.

In the forest of Creve Coeur,
Moss shrine collects tears.”

My heart feels heavy,
It contains a shrine to you,
Feelings that I kept.
