always...

distractions
surely there is more
yes, I have felt it, seen it
the world drops away
...........................................
I have reached a limit
there are too many
people in my life
I care too much,
cannot detach,
neglecting
the reality
of who
I am

take away
receive
give

I could hear it...

tell
this morning, gently
a green breeze slid through my door
stories of summer

I am learning...

acceptance
I stretch and I scream
my head bangs against your wall
should I even try?
......................................................
when do you stop trying,
to find someone who
understands you?
does it matter?
do you just
be who
you are
meant
to be?

yes, that is
the answer
breathe out
breathe in
and it will
fall into
place

see me
right now
clearly
that is
all I
am

night wanders...

presence
they follow me home,
the mountains, with quiet steps
ladders to the sky

stand
there, my patch of sky
a window over my head
with stars pouring in

continually...

amazed
and what can I write?
open my eyes, it's all there
layers of learning
.........................................
once again,
where life has led me
I am speechless
coincidence?
absolutely
not

to be seen...

clearly
smiling as I write
you can read between the lines
where all my words fall

always a....

traveler
with eyes far-gazing
I can walk in many worlds
and belong to none

the night...

embraced
pressed against my ears,
the quiet, like two cool hands
breath warm on my cheek

...

suspended
I find myself here
awake, the night like a room
lost within its walls

always an...

adventure
and where do I go?
to travel to new places
within or without?

with each person...

weightless
stop breathe release look
then touch me fill me leave me
I become lighter

taking it...

slow
soft light fills the air
quietly as I breath in
slide into the day

with back arched...

rise
lightly I sparkle
effervescent in the dark
waves upon deep waves

in retrospect...

hollow
last night was too much
drained by so many people
crushed against the walls
..............................................
walls of faces
depthless eyes
all so desperate

time to restore
rebalance
regroup
breathe

from tonight a...

visit
alcohol dulls words and
breeds shallow conversation
I need more to live
...............................................................................
I have tried, I visited, I talked, asked questions
I am done, I need more, it frustrates
I can't get what I need from this
maybe interesting to visit
definitely Not where
I want to stay
save me

take this as you will...
to be who I am
I need more...
you know
where to
find me

recently, my..

storm
watching the sky crack open
heat rises from me in waves
I am released
...................................................................
never assume...ask...question...wonder...

How else are you to know who you're really talking to?
Who is standing in front of you? Who are they?
When the right words unlock their eyes...that spark.
Can you see that spark when you find the person?
Fan the flame, hear the stories, feel the life.
I am constantly amazed.

the doors open...

wide
sliding and falling
I am pulled into your eyes
water the colour of tea

on the surface...

sun pennies
within solitude
my path flows like clear cool water
green waves flash

found time...

wander
thick sound of the heat
pours slowly over warm skin
two dark pools open

a walk
swallow the miles
step out on the horizon
and stretch to the sky
.....................................

I need to step out to stir up words...
inside, they scrape against the ceiling
and gather in dark corners
the air becomes too thick
short shallow breaths
blue windows close
I need the sky
an open door
far gazing
outward
inward
life

it is...

June
eyes close in the sun
I am craving the water
draw me down slowly
