My reflection doesn’t tell my story yet I still feel as though it defines me
When I look,
I see my flaws
I see mistakes
I see problems
Looking at others I see so much beauty
They have the perfect clothes
Perfect hair
Perfect face
Perfect body
Maybe it’s just a facade but it seems so real
Pushed on me is the pe...

Conversations with the Divine
In the hush of night, I speak to You,
My heart is heavy, my faith unsure,
I’m young, on the brink of my prime,
Yet time seems to slip, like grains of sand.
I ache, Lord, in this restless quest,
Trying to believe, though I’m oppressed,
Do I continue in this weary chase,
Or is it just a lost, empty race?
I see others, their paths seem clear,
While I stumble, gripped by fea...

Pain Relief
When will it go away?
The pain in my chest
Pain in my stomach
Pain.
It’s repetitive and never stops
It creeps up on me like bugs
Stings like a wasp
Bites like a mosquito
And leaves, taking a small part of me
Some say it’s a part of life
Maybe I don’t want that
If this is life
Maybe I don’t want any p...

I Will Return
Into the translucent silence,
above the heartbeat of the stars
and the flight of the seagulls,
I will return with the gentle sky
Like the breeze that ruffles the forest
or the moon that peeks through the night,
and no matter how autumn dies there will always be a spring,
in the same way I will return
On the thought that crosses time
and lives on from its balconies,
like the pollen ...

La pureté de l'éternel éphémère
Il y a des moments dans la vie
Qu'on ne risque pas d'oublier
Des moments incroyables
Qu'on aimerait recréer
Comme le moment précis
Quand je t'ai vu pour la première fois
Une simple rencontre
Que m'a rempli de joie
Je marchais dans la rue
Quand on s'est croisés
Et dans ce moment précis
Le temps s'est arrêté
Le bruit autour de nous
S'est soudain...

For You, Wherever You Are
It was on my first of many elevator rides
up from the basement floor
I met a woman with short, red hair and a leather jacket,
who I only ever saw
just this once.
I don’t know whether I ever responded
when she spoke to me
or to God
or to the elevator door
saying:
three years ago, now,
they had given her six months to live.
saying:
three ye...

Ember
You can learn a lot about yourself in the dark..
The things that once terrified you no longer appear so large
and that flame that you had to light for yourself
will guide you to places that you didn't know existed
Thank yourself that you persisted
You lit that fire in the damp, in the cold
You nurtured it as it turned from a flicker to nothing but coal
Really, thank yourself for n...

Change
Change is the most natural part of life
The summer cannot last forever
I have learned simply to never say never
I change my mind
Perspectives and feelings move with time
Nothing is certain
Before you know it, it is Autumn
and your leaves are turning into shades of gold
To begin something new you must let go of the old
It is okay to fall
Winter may be harder and it wi...

You are an artist
You are an artist
Every morning as your eyes open up
you reach for your paintbrush
unknowingly
You are the canvas
and your actions are the splatters
Inspired by your dreams
and all to you that matters
You bring to life the beauty that you think
Transforming the formless into reality
your desires turn to ink
Do not downplay the smaller things you do
as every single brushstro...

To Find Some Meaning
I often think about the past.
Had it been too slow or too fast?
Then I ponder on what might have been.
What I might have done and might have seen.
I think about all the times I've wasted,
And how I took for granted the things I tasted.
Where am I going? What am I doing?
What became of the life I had once been viewing?
Now all I see is a fog so dense
That in this life I can find no sen...

Our Journey
Let's escape our separate towns together,
Away from prying eyes,
Where no one knows our faces yet,
And our love needs no disguise.
Let's camp out in the world together,
And I'll hold you through the night,
With your head upon my shoulder,
We sit watching stars burn bright.
We'll laugh and smile discussing hopes and dreams,
And make known all of our desires,
We'l...

It's OK?
Jeez!
I can't hear the telly
for your bubbling belly!
Stop being horrible! You know I get IBS
Aye, Irritating Belly Sounds!
I laughed
She didn't
Her cheeks glazed with cherry red
But, also, the weight loss?
And, you need to eat more!
You're like a mouse lately.
Eeek, eeek, She mimics (badly)
She turns, cups my face in her hands,
kisses me
But, there's...

Grinding to a Halt
If your mind becomes imprisoned,
And the whole world now seems strange,
And the things you once enjoyed
Now no longer make a change.
If your life now has no reason,
And you just exist from day to day,
Just drifting between each moment,
And it doesn't help what others say.
No matter where you may be -
Whether in the country or the city,
All your interests may have dissolved,
And you ...

The Human Dome
I travel across this phenomenal path, a path that trails me to justice, a path that unites me with the lofty dome of the human establishment. From these broken shattered glasses of the dome, I gaze upon the increasing influence of insecurities among these humans. One of the sides of this dome had an air of fear and vengeance while the other parts here repres...
