those flowers in your chest,
and the fire in your blood

Read More →A Good Thing…
i think it’s a good thing,
how we can struggle in such desperation
for clarity and still never find a way to make
any sense of how they treated us…
i think it means we’re just not capable of
that same cruelty within ourselves.
and i think that’s a really good thing.

let go your fear
as it falls
beautiful, be still
this untangling of it all
let your bones fill with might
let your lungs fill with free
don’t look back.

Read More →i never knew…
because they didn’t want me to know…
that it’s spiritual. touch is spiritual.
passion is spiritual. soul to skin…
it’s. all. spiritual.
they never told me that it could be beautiful.
that i’m beautiful. that you’re beautiful.
and all of that heat and heart
and wild intensity… it’s. beautiful.
and little by little, i’m trying to trade in
shame and fear and just let myself feel
all the things i’ve never let myself feel.
maybe then it could be something… beautiful.

ask you to be less of yourself,
it will invite you to
become more and more of you,
to step into all of you

may this stillness stay

isn’t the same as a deep love…
a deep love won’t weigh you down,
it will breathe into your soul and
allow you to be free
– butterflies rising
Read More →i think, sometimes… we confuse a heavy relationship with a deep love. and maybe it’s not so easy to know the difference. but i don’t think love wants to weigh you down… i think love will let you grow… and breathe into your soul and make you feel alive and free.
