sun-flavored love…

abundant and sun-flavored and overflowing on me

Sun-flavored Love…

i’ve learned that
i deserve more than a starved love…
that kind where you feed off of me
because you can’t fill yourself

i deserve rich love, extra love
abundant and sun-flavored and overflowing on me
because you’re full within yourself

choices…

i hope you know you matter now chosen by no one belonging to yourself

i hope you know
you matter now
chosen by no one
belonging to yourself

i hope you go on
living in skin untouched by anything that your
sovereignty did not bless into your existence
and breathing air that holds no can’ts
and carries no words
of how a woman
should or should not be

i’ve learned to be gentle with that part of me that takes it in so deeply…

what it’s like to trace a soul in my fingertips

i’ve learned to
be gentle with that part of
me that takes it in so deeply
and holds on to it for far too long,

that’s also the part of me that loves
like an awakening and knows what it’s like
to trace a soul in my fingertips

how powerful music can be…

that’s just how powerful music can be. it’s such an aesthetic in our existence.

…some songs are just barely becoming safe again,
and some songs maybe never will be.

and i think that’s just how powerful music can be.
it’s such an aesthetic in our existence. we feel so much
from it, and because of it, and through it… and
so it can break us completely open in heartbreak,
but i wouldn’t trade that for how much it makes us feel
alive and free and infinite, and in love, in all of
the beautiful moments.
