October 7, 2018 Like something inside me was lost and then found As though suddenly all my questions were answered The smoke fell, and I saw I was never alone When my breath is caught in my throat When my heart flutters A calmness that both drowns me, and gives me breath This ambush, this storm, this clarity Like the sun is shining through me from the inside, out this is how it feels When I look at you. l.vd
I followed her footprints all the way to the ocean Danced in the dark beneath her stars And her song carried through the wind, pulled the moon, swept the tide, Her song saved my life

In the palm of his hand, my red heart glowing I watched with bated breath, defenseless The walls I built so high crumbling into sand And I wonder if he knows His touch lingers on my skin, His voice echoes in my head, He strikes the match, he lights me up He brings the fire, Oh, and he gives me rest When night fell, and the sun stopped rising He lit the stars, he picked me up With the weight of my body in his arms, He moved me, swaying softly back and forth Dancing away the dark I watched the sun come up from over his shoulder.

There. Beneath a sky full of the brightest stars Where the only sound was of my heart beating in my chest, And the inhale, exhale- Sigh of breath from my lips Where the wind that shook the trees, Fanned the flame And I felt my spirit ignite A flame that burned so bright You could see in it in my eyes I found myself there.

We walked out into the ocean With beads of water dripping from his lips We kissed until the sun set down And the moon swept the tide, that carried us away We are water The wind and waves that knock us over, and pull us under Rushing over our skin Pouring into our souls We are water

May 19, 2018 For Catherine, my sweetest friend
I watched with my eyes full of tears, As all of the light inside her broke free And at once, billions of stars began to light the darkened sky That is when I felt her, when I heard her Like a whisper in my heart, I'll see you again.

Once it became clear that she had a choice She shook herself free of the dispair that had been holding her down Her spirit returned to her body, stretching it's tired muscles, inciting an audible, deep sigh And with a renewed light shining from her eyes, She awoke.

I must have travelled this road a thousand times, hoping for something more. All I ever met with was con men and thieves Liars that lured me in with their half-hearted smiles A spider web of tricks I should've known better. I should've recognized that same crooked grin It was always all the same Until I met you I never could've seen this coming. One day, at the end of a long, exhaustive year...There you were. You appeared suddenly, out of thin air Like a magician or a savior The way you held you head up, the way you moved, the way you talked, -it's unexplainable, we'd never seen each other before, Still, I felt like I knew you in my heart as if I'd met you before in a dream And it was right before midnight, the very first time I looked into your electric blue eyes I felt a spark and I knew right away, at the sound of the fireworks breaking across the sky - we lit the match.
I remember late night phone calls, Halfway to sleep, my mind dizzy with dreams, I'd tell you all my secrets And the softest words dripping from your lips: "I love you," your voice barely above a whisper. And even now, after so much time, There is still a place in my heart so secret even you would never know where I find sanctuary with you, your electric blue eyes, and the honesty in your voice that you cast over me like a spell Never letting go

Tucked in the corner of every dream, wrapped tight like a hand around my throat, stealing my breath... There he is. A memory that won’t let go
He wakes me up in the middle of the night just like before
I should know better, but- I follow him out into the woods and through the trees, slipping past their rotting limbs. I follow him up a winding road, and around every curve; I follow him until the road ends; Until he turns towards me, and I can see his face twisted in rage
Then and all at once, and with one final sigh, the sky becomes pitch black. As though the moon and all the stars just lost their light. I call to him but he doesn’t answer. In the dark, I try to find my way. Reaching out blindly, I touch his hand; His skin is so cold it burns. I try to pull away but he grabs my wrist, surprising me- And through the darkness that blankets us, I can see his eyes
His bloodshot eyes hold my gaze; I can’t blink, I can’t look away, I am just standing there- stuck. The cold wind sends a chill straight through me; but my body does not tremble, does not shake. I am frozen in place
Still holding my gaze, his mouth curls into a sinister smile. Every bone in my body is begging- screaming at me, Run. Stepping closer, he presses his lips to my ear and whispers, 'You can’t leave.' Inside I shudder, because I know he is right, I can’t even move
Taking another step closer, and without having to lift a finger, he drops me to my knees in the dirt. Standing above me, with his hand wound in my hair, he forces my gaze to meet his. His blood-red eyes cast over me, taunting me, as I will myself to move, to stand up, to run. I try hard to think of a way out, but there is something stopping me that I can't explain -a void that occupies my mind, preventing my every thought. He keeps me there, kneeling in the dirt, with his hand tangled in my hair; that twisted grin never leaving his face
Then like a trick, he suddenly combusts into flames. Searing flames that leap from his skin, reaching for me. 'Don't worry, you're next,' he threatens, but his lips do not move. Waves of heat rush towards me, I try to cough out the smoke filling my lungs -but I struggle even for a single breath. The blazing inferno begins to consume him, blackening his skin, spittng hot ash into my eyes that I can’t blink away.

Tips for practising self care - a new project to get my creative juices flowing and distract my brain from various every day stresses. ;) P.S Speaking of... using a hobby as a distraction is also a good way to practise self care. Occupy your brain with a creative challenge, and leave yourself less time to over-think or worry about anything else.

When the wind blew me backward And the one person I thought would always be there to catch me- wasn't. My heart became suddenly full of despair, an unrelenting hurt; An awakening. So with a deep exhale and my head held high, I regained my composure. Despite the wind that pushed and pulled and tried to knock me down. I remained steady, and I kept going

"I couldn’t even tell you how many times I’ve wanted to see myself through your eyes. And I often wonder if those butterflies in your stomach are still alive."
