In a new love, it’s easy to live for the moment because there is no past. The more past you accumulate, the harder it is not to live there — and that’s true whether it’s good
Petals & leaves
i love to
smell the flowers
and sniff the books
sitting in gardens
and library nooks
Our path
A morning walk starts us off on the right foot for the day.
Campfire
campfire flames kiss the night
stars in distant skies blaze bright
ghost story whispers all affright
rustling sounds just out of sight
Free but homesick
Only those in tune with nature seem to pick up on the energy in wind. All sorts of things get swept off in the breeze — ghosts, pieces of soul, voices unsung, thoughts repressed, love uncherished, and a thousands galore of spiritual ether.
Excite
Lightning dances —
Thunder applauds her!
Shortages
DEPRESSION
cuts supply lines
to the hopeful
part of the brain
Feelers
The scars you can’t see are the hardest to heal.
Chasing the past
Chasing the past, I stumbled into the future.
P.S. Thanks to Rebecca for letting me know that this quote was used in the television show Being Erica. In the episode “Plenty of Fish,”
Heart ink
Keep a diary even if you rip it up every night.
INFj autopsy
the autopsy will find —
coloured flowers in my grey matter
still-beating poetry in my heart
unspent ink in every organ
blood saturated with love
bones mineral’d by life’s rough days
muscles fiber’d by courage and fear intertwined
and a slightly crushed but glittering soul
Let’s have six
just 1 dance
just 1 kiss
just 1 brush
against my lips
2 brown eyes
gazing into mine
2 strong arms
holding me tight
3 little words
whispered in my ear
a little 4 play
5 minutes or so
the rest of the calculation
I’m sure you know!
Close quarters & distant dreams
in good times and in bad
’til death do us part
isn’t just for marriage —
but family too — lifelong vows
coursing through our blood
