A Midwinter Day’s Dream
In the mystic lies the imperfect gift,A strange yet narrow reason of the mind, Who’s only purpose is to mend the rift. A bridge in time does the Angel here find,Where the present replaces the future, And the past left abandoned and unsigned. Starry stories held still for the suitor,Those embodied in the sky to inspire, The breadth of countless words addressed to her. As the universe was forged ...
Just friends
Only two more hours Til I see you againAnd what then?How am I to begin?Hi?After our tragic goodbye?Hello after watching that flame burn out and die?I’ll say “how’ve you beenWhile I’ve been away?”After I decided it was betterNot to stay. “How” is what I’ll sayBut what I’d like to ask isWhy?After all this timeDespite how everything ended-When I pretended That we would lastAnd then ran away-Far an...
Parvati
She is the wave and I am the ocean, I am matter and she is energy,I am the form and she is the motion.No ground parks the spark of our synergy,Ignorant worlds crumble under our dance,She’s the key to set free the inner me. Hand that strikes love’s eternal hour’s chance,From the substance of form to the specter,Behind her is the thrust of power’s lance. In the wine of wisdom, she’s the nectar,Th...
Leaving Town (Nothing to Declare)
I’ll pack up this life at last.It all fits nicely -there’s not enough to strain against the seams.The lid slips neatly on, and there’s no needto sit on it to get the zip to close.I’ll pack up this life at last.I’m only slightlysad that I can take it all so lightly.I’m sure there should be more to it than this -no goodbyes, just a decision: time to go.I’ll pack up this life at lastand wrap it ti...
Beauty and the Heartache
His words are watered downWell rehearsed and diplomaticI used to look deeply into themWonder if there were words Hidden between other wordsOr worlds inside of himLike hidden doors to NarniaSome layers and layers of stardust My imagination came up with And bestowed upon himThe magic I thought of as himI realizedMust only be in me That’s both the beauty and heartache of itDanielle Morris
Dylan
College daysOn the streets of Louisville6 years ago.4 feet hit concrete,They weren't scared to know.Not scared of much,But the incessant craving to touch,And the need that is a youthful rush.Be still, It will come in time,In a new world whereThere is no reason or rhyme.Across the country, present time,Feelings aplenty and sundry For we made the distant climb.You in the army, me in recovery,No ...
My Girl
That’s my girl” he tells me.“I’m not anyone’s girl actually.” I reply.“I haven’t been for a while, because the last man that owned my heart managed to break it so carefully that I didn’t even realise that he had put it down.He walked away silently and disappeared into the fog of the oyster of which he labelled ‘his’ world, when always thought that it was ‘ours.’

Winter Dark
Staring at the winterDark descendingI remember thinkingThe whole world Wouldn’t be enough I close my eyes savoringThis fugitive momentImploring you With an open mouth kissI whisper, “I love you” Our eyes meetIn a nervous glanceThe melancholy is musicIt is a slow waltzA desperate dance Your smile warmly recallingAn amused wistfulnessMaybe a reminiscenceThis renders me Hopeful and breathless
Endearment
No one needs to know that it was you who pressed closer to me early this morning. No one needs to know that I remember you from almost two Januarys ago, that I remember winter on the other side of the tall church windows, making the early evening so dark I could see your reflection behind mine. - My dream flickering on and off for years on end—Stepping through your sliding glass door, words fr...
I gave you me
I adored the darkness out of you,II saw you for who you could be and not who you were,I gave you my world to find myself no place in yours. You aimed the pieces of your broken heart directly at mine,You told me you wanted to be better,I wanted to help. I captured the light from the moon and poured it into your soul,I stole the brightness from the sun and put it into your eyes,I cleansed the oc...
we tried again
we tried againknowing, deep down, that we were destined to destroy one another.we tried to get back to our golden days;days of laughter and sun and childhood funand god i wish we didn't.whether with small ways or big wayswe couldn't stop hurting one anothertearing the other apart from the inside out,picking at bones.i wish it were simple.i wish i could forget the hurt you caused me, and forgive...
WONDERS
As the water crashes to the sand eye look out wondering where the horizon ends or whether it ends at all. Eye could see the thin line of where my imagination ended. So thin it was covered by all my flaws. Eye sat on the sand so that eye could feel every word and every emotion of the water. You could hear the cry of the waves bashing into your ear drum. The sand felt so cold, yet hot. It sparkle...
Growth
Everytime you leave You take the sunshine too My leaves wilt And petals fall But teardrops water me So that when you return I am stronger And remarkably tall
Poppy seeds and paternity
I chase the dragon now, but I rode one with you the gang tattoo adorning your bare back took me swimming under waves of laughter and I'd punch your shoulder, when I needed to breath. And you would rise. Water cascading off us back into the oneness of the ocean. But I chase the dragon now. A precious stone such as hope is a commodity wasted on me, Father throw pearls to pigs and feed me through...

The smallest of noises I hear your bark,Doppler a singular shrill calvedAmongst whispers this to youFor I hear your bark and reverb it toBe chronicles of inner growthAs you creak all once shaken leaves host Doted Doppler it wouldn’t have beenDoppler sung no while silence was winged so

i want you to eat well,so i’ll serve my big, red heart, poached, on a platter made especially for you.you are greedy, so you eat it all, and it makes mehappy. i want to feed you, lead youinto the garden where we can sit,into the cold air, where maybewe can keep each otherwarm again. i’m afraid you have meperched, so delicately,between your thumb and your forefinger, and i can only squirm my way...
Last Breath
My breath.Sharing the sensation of the ascension. A Heavenly vibration.I am almost an afterthought of this world.My heartbeat has the rhythm of anticipation and the sound of peace.It was a long journey but I'm about to reach my final destination. The great treasure of every living thing is about to touch my spirit.The treasure chest of the universe is opening as the windows on my face begin to...
OUR SOUL CONNECTION
Openly she knew their troubles wouldUnderstate their spiritual union;Remembering those good times past.She prayed for it not t be so, but even withOutstretched heart and hands yieldingUpward, the evidence alwaysLingered in both of their minds.Cause and effect exampled itselfOnly to heighten after forgiveness Neglected their attributes.Neither was willing to give tribute. Every day grew more co...
Second chances
I’ve given out so many, rarely get any in return,Seems there should be plenty since they help the world to turn Yet I’ve found myself asking…Begging once again…I never really asked for much, other than to love you till the end.I only wanted honesty, communication was a must.You said that you could do that, and in you I could trust…You said you wanted to try it, take ‘us’ out for a spinYou seeme...
You were the yesterday I regretted throwing away today
My god I took you for granted.And there’s only so many times I can stomach the regrets I made before I want to claw them out of my insides. There shouldn’t have been room for regrets. There was not time. Time was ours until I stopped believing it was and then there was never enough. I’ll never forgive myself for letting go of you, for losing sight of youFor turning around and closing the doorLo...

cant believe i have to negotiate boundaries for the rest of my existence
Chalk in hand, etching boundaries as lines in gravel, praying for high tide so they are erased once again. I’m thinking about how I give up ownership of myself every night to sleep and if I fabricate fatigue, I can do that with you too. I will remove my ribs, one my one, curl them inwards on a slate of snow, I want to be placed next to a can on the shelf, forgotten about until winter where I w...
Second Chances
Second Chances She stands upon a high cliffAs a beacon for his loveHoping the wind will carry himUp to her, high above Helpless he cannot reach herGazing up from far belowThe crashing waves drowned out his criesHis words are lost in the undertowShe waits as long as her heart canThen throws herself off in despairHe finally reaches the topOnly to find that she's not there
