for herself…

she needs to become who she needs to be for herself before she can ever be anything for you.

– butterflies rising

you said,
tell me where you’ve been, love

and i thought of all the lost roads,
and dark corners,
and heavy work, and heartbreak,
and of all the healing

and i just said…
on my way here

– butterflies rising

her,
because she
makes life poetry,
she turns every bit
of it into art

– butterflies rising

integrity is
the sweetest sugar

– butterflies rising

i want to melt
into you like wild honey,
you feel like summer sun

– butterflies rising

you are like golden hour, it all glows different when you’re here

– butterflies rising

my axis pulls and pulls to
wherever you are

– butterflies rising

…that soft, slow “baby” late at night

– butterflies rising

beautiful wildflower, grow untamed – butterflies rising quote postcards

nothing softens me
towards someone like the way
strength of character does

– butterflies rising

you’re somewhere
in this world,
and i’m somewhere
else in this world,
and there’s this
feeling in my soul,
and i hope it gets to you

– butterflies rising

love
