Milk-washed moon,
it wanes for you,
smiles, only because you do.
& with every turn,
the world burns
with a fire, for your glory.
This Earth was made for you.
Become, my love,
my child,
this
is your story.

Milk-washed moon,
it wanes for you,
smiles, only because you do.
& with every turn,
the world burns
with a fire, for your glory.
This Earth was made for you.
Become, my love,
my child,
this
is your story.
What am I?
Love?
Deceit?
Evil?
Where was I dropped?
How did I fall so far?
When I want to be like them -
When my face flows like a river.
Who was I ever?
Other than this soft gingerbread
of someone
you constantly ask to remember.
Never do I look at my arms
and see a cleanliness.
Never do I see a sea of skin.
I look upon my flesh and find
carvings.
of once was
of wish-they-were;
A ladybug for my grandmother, who called me Millie.
A wolf for my father, who taught me what strength was
inside and out.
For my friends, matching memories of our love, our youth.
& all others, that hold an ounce of your face,
your meaning..
When I look upon my skin, I don't see my own flesh,
I see you - I see a lifetime.
There is no story
of you and I.
Just an introduction
& long goodbye.
You can build your walls,
& I will cry,
But as you lay grout,
I will continue with life.
May turn my head
to see you smile,
but keep a distance
as you lay tile.
Empty gestures
lie across your bust;
For in your true heart,
you will never trust.
Believe me,
I can lead a horse to water,
show him to drink,
that we should trust one another,
But if he turn head,
close an eye,
the stream we drink
is sure to dry.
Ripple away, fair river -
caressing each stone
as if it were your own.
Loving it,
until, one day, it erodes...
& becomes a part of us all
They tell me;
Say, nothing is better than
'this' or 'that'.
But,
have you ever been
blissfully alone?
hearing rare, your own mind,
only bluebirds and the skies.
& as you sink into peace,
opening eyes,
you stare straight up -
& just as you do,
a wish flower pass by.
you feel such bliss,
close your eye
& pass judgement, that
If ever within such happiness,
one could die
& ne'er have a regret.
For, what a beautiful life. ♡
sometimes
we lose sight
of love
& of each other.
when the windows cry
all muddy
from last night's words.
but outside
it seems so clean
so free.
"That's me"
she said, smiling.
That's who I want to be.
Free.
Every
today
is a little bit better
than yesterday...
Today my mind is wiser,
breaths taste sweeter,
friends grow closer,
and my heart be more rich
than it had ever before.
Every today
is a little bit better
for I,
am a little bit more.
