This Head I Hold

Little rivers with small words,
They float to the sea where you're held.
I was fully consumed,
but I don't know what it is I'm without.
My name is written in the clouds,
But you never dream.

More Than Being Heard

They say that there's such a thing
 as dreaming too much about freedom.
The dreams I have, are my reality.
My inner-most thoughts and feelings.
The strokes of keys,
My tumbling thoughts.
Freedom is just another word,
But words are for more than being heard.

Discolored Shapes

When you look back you don't see yourself,
You see problems, smells, and feelings.
The flowers are melting and wilting,
The books are burning from the inside out.
The letters dropping one by one,
Into a pile of discolored shapes
That will never form the same words twice.
Dreamers are believers,
That's how you buy into a dream.

Lines & Feelings

Things are weird.
Colors look like they've never before.
Was it that I saw them dull or neon,
Maybe I was happy, maybe I wasn't.
The breeze feels different and my room smells off.
The stench of you has gone away,
I smell like myself again.
Lavender, sandalwood, cotton.
My eyes have been stripped,
I only see lines and feelings.
What if my dreams aren't the problem.

 sunrise above the clouds :: dutch mints make any day brighter

She did not need much, wanted very little.
A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water,
kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cosy bed,
and to love and be loved in return
-Starra Neely Blade

 the city lights fuel my soul :: sprinkles cupcakes–death at its finest
Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.”
-Hafiz

 early morning breakfast with blackberries :: eva keeps me company

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. 
All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. 
No matter how dull and boring they are on the 
outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, 
magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. 
Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.
-Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

restoring joy

our mouths were filled with laughter
our tongues they were loosed with joy
restore us oh lord, restore us oh lord
although we are weeping lord help us keep sowing
the seed of your kingdom for the day you will reap them
your sheaths we will carry
lord please do not tarry
all those who sow weeping will go out with songs of joy.

Small Joys


 the small joys in life are getting me through the rest of the semester
...
...
It is not easy … to wait. Waiting is what the hunter does, and the poet and the slugger. He waits for the moment of inevitability and fate and then he swings, or shoots, or takes up the pen to put down a line. They don’t teach us to wait in America; they teach us to grab. But waiting is what we do when we are looking for something beautiful, when we are looking for an end to our sorrow. Nothing is infinite in life, not even sorrow. You just have to wait.
...
...
We'll fall just like stars being hung by only string
Everything, everything, here is gone
No map can direct how to ever make it home
...

 Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
