I want to live in a world where magic exists and dreams can be made manifest. I want to revolutionize love. I want to love and be loved in kind. I want to have sex with abandon. I want to come into union with myself. I want to be in union with my other half. I want to be myself. I want to be comfortable in my own skin. I want to be more like water. I want to dance with the journey. I want to live with passion. I want to write with passion. I want to dream beautiful moments into being. I want to follow my heart. I want to heal and forgive. I want to surrender. I want to open my heart and my mind to new experiences. I want to laugh until I cry. I want to cry when I mean it. I want to smile so much that when I am old everyone will know that I chose joy and gratitude as my default.
Stand up
The darkness around which
Stars are posthumously hung
*
My clay feet know
Both earth and sea
But the sky aspires
Higher and higher
With every extension
*
With my vertebrae
Horizontally stacked
I could go on forever
For a circle ends
Exactly as it begins
But if vertical,
I will undoubtedly fall
(I stand up
In spite of fear)
*
I carry you in silence
For it is through silence
That melody is relayed
*
My pulse struggles
Under the pressure
Of our overlapping breaths
Together we are imperishable
For no wrath exists
That can dissolve regard
Dandelion
On tempestuous currents
These charlatan clouds
Dispensing expectation
*
Dangerous are the angles
That disengage flight
One must remain round
To sustain buoyancy
*
My wings are tender
From too much sunshine
The intimidation of fame
Can be hard to overcome
Will I remain intact?
Are do the best dreams
Harbor the darkest days?
