i could get lost
in all the little ways
you carry love, and carry light,
and hold so much
goodness in your being,
you are a golden thing
in this heavy, heavy world,
and everything feels new
when i look at you

you cannot try to silence
a collective pain for so long and not
expect a collective rage to eventually come.

never again
let your heart settle.
never. again.
hold it close to anyone
who doesn’t see
your light-giving,
breath-stealing,
fire-starting magic…
or who sees it all,
and tries to hold you back.
never again.

how
beautiful it feels
when they
want to know all about
the worlds you hold
inside of you

don’t be afraid
to leave it all behind…
there is new light, and new life,
there are new worlds waiting

Moonglow…
where the light falls,
and the beautiful stays,
when the stars settle in…
come with me.

close to you,
it has to be
destiny-colored
and deep. souled.
there is too much
gold in that skin for
anything but sure hands
to touch it.
there is too. much. fire.
in that chest…
they’ve got to dance
with your wildness and
play in your beautiful mess
and drip wild poetry
on your lips with their kiss.
if it comes close to you,
it has to feel like this.
nothing less.

i want to fall
into that beautiful life
into the soft spaces
into the glow
where there’s moonlight
where there’s soul light
and where it means
something if you come close
and let your heart beat
against mine

this world can
feel so harsh and ugly
to you because you are
so soft and vulnerable
and beautiful… like flowers.
now imagine this world
without flowers.
so please let yourself be
something in this world that is soft
and vulnerable and beautiful,
just like flowers.
