Natural

When I stop forcing, I am more productive

When I am spontaneous, I am more creative

When I don’t need to impress, I impress myself

When I no longer resist, the anxiety no longer persists

When I stop chasing, it all comes by

Effortless, I give the best effort

Being natural, I accept the constant change

Letting go, I embrace what is

Through learning, there are no failures

If I never fail, I can never succeed

The whole staircase may appear difficult, but each little step is easy to take

Tender Curses

Tenderness is the wound I chisel out of you/ when we scrape the light off of us in the shower/ in the mornings enclosed with curtains drawn./ I sing to the beats of the water that falls without touching you.// In ache when we join fingers to your delight, my lover,/ you curse the thumb that circles my palm./ In ways when you whisper of the lack of flesh in this world,/ I hear your impetrations of succumbing to a child’s sky.// When after the evening dream in the purple, the moon turns into a star,/ I sit on your collarbones, you weigh my scars./ We weave of all the ways ocean will never turn against the shore;/ the morning contrives the lumps in our throat.// From the lies with which we draw our quilts,/ you reek of tenderness, I chant your sins./ After the morning tea when you talk of numbers and the deaths in a far-off land,/ I chisel out your wounds of tenderness and carpent our hourglass.

I guess I’m really into funky coloured houses & balconies now.
