When Heart is heavy
You may lock the doors inside
You may shut off every light
You disappear

And somehow,
As I find myself in your presence
You are more radiant
You,
…are whole again

...
Sometimes
She forgets her own name
When I play the song she loved to sing
She'll cling to my arm
Recognition in her eyes
And I sink
Wondering
Why do strong lights go faint
Why do people fade away

#poerty #nationalpoetrymonth

...
I wake up
And your smell lingers
And I remember how your breeze would brush against my skin
The magic in your waves
Trust me,
I know exactly what I've been missing

#poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

There is a soft whisper that echoes in the distance
I've felt this presence since birth
And the further I travel from it
The louder it roars...

#poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

In this cycle of life
We all expect death
Yet we are never equipped
To answer questions that death brings

#poetry

Abandon me
I will not call on you
Nor beckon
Bury me in the dark
I lie still without question

#poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

Throw me to the ocean and swallow me whole
Sink me to its depths
I don't want to float
Carry me into the hills
So I can climb towards the stars
And I'll climb there alone

#poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

....
I wonder
If one day the sun will stop rising
Decide it
No longer wanted to be the star that held our worlds together
Decided to serve a planet with inhabitants far superior
I wonder if sun knows it deserves better

I wish I told her that I loved her more
That she was beautiful and enough
That it was ok to be vulnerable
That she could paint the world she wanted
Then dive into the canvas...

They kill
They war
They fight to win
And families still suffer
The enemy was once brother
Now we live in separate boarders
Burn bridges
Hoard food and water
They say no one understands the horror
They war to conquer
Build empire for the restorer ...

#poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

Poetry plants and waters
Watch the people grow
Poetry heals
See wounds close
Poetry will remind you
Scars are beautiful
Poetry even gives
Star-crossed lovers hope

#poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

Hearts may shatter like glass
Leaving splinters scattered
Invisible to the eye
They cut and wound others passing by
They cut and wound lovers
You pretend you only want them for the night ...

Distance taste like
Bitter chocolate
Raw broccoli
And unsweetened coffee
Distance taste salty
From dried tears...

#poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

I haven't heard much of the tide tonight
Or seen much of the lightning bug's light
I heard they shine brighter on moonless nights
Where Moon, once a month, pretends to hide

#poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

No,
Being loved by a poet won't make you immortal
Won't make your memory undying
Wont write your love into her-story ....

It's offically poetry month, stay creative <3

#nationalpoetrymonth

One day you may find comfort in the silence
One day,
You will realize
You never had to shout at all
They just never wanted to listen

#poetry Poetry month incoming...

Sometimes you mess up,
forget the words,
your mind goes blank,
but the calm will bring you back

#performance #poetry

Sometimes you lose your voice
And no one listens when you speak...

I woke up to the sound of heavy rain out my window
It was 1am
Drifted off in dreams and half alseep
I thought the rain was falling through my ceiling
