and after
everything,
you won’t even
grant me
the smallest mercy
of your absence
from my memory

Read More →no mercy…
confirmation bias…
stop listening
to the voice that tells you
that love is supposed to be hard,
it keeps leading you to places where
love ends up being hard.

coming home after
being gone for too long
the way i gravitate to
the good in you…
how i just crave
that goodness in you.

i hope that one day
the person who hurt you sees you from afar
dancing in the radiance of
your unburdened spirit and standing
strong in your fully mended bones…
and that for just a moment you feel their gaze,
so you can forever know, without question,
the powerlessness of their
perception over you

to be steady in the soul and free in the spirit poem….
i want to remember the depth and the feel of the stars that i come from, and always hold an unshakable knowing of the voice in my soul so close… but be wild-winged, chasing my wild curiosity, running wild-spirited on starlit nights under wide-open skies, growing and discovering and feeling it all… i want to know what it’s like to be steady in the soul and free in the spirit.

i used to
think it was beautiful
the way i offered you all of my softness
and filled the air with tenderness
in the wake of your violence…
but now i know that i deserve to breathe
in tenderness too.

but if it’s love…
when it asks you to come along,
it will not ask you to leave
yourself behind
