Finding Peace
Years ago, I thought peace meant control. If I planned well enough and anticipated thoroughly enough, I believed I would be safe. But what I was really practicing was vigilance disguised as security. My mind never rested, and when it did, I felt danger instead of relief. I’m learning now that peace is not about mastering every outcome -it’s about trusting myself enough to meet life as it comes.
The songs play in my head Over, and over, and over again What's the beat? Where's the thread? Over, and over, and over again. A melody sweet with a rhythm of lead Over, and over, and over again. Another year twisting 'round 'till I'm dead Over, and over, and over again What's with the choruses … Continue reading Coda
Maybe I'm broken...And maybe I'm wrong.Impulsivity kills me,But in it I'm strong. Strong enough to destroyall I hold dear...I'll burn all the bridgesTo escape all the fear. And in all the fireI believe I am safeThe smoke is my shroudwithin all the waste. My ego feels healed,But my heart is erasedAnd I've lost- yet againAll … Continue reading Fireproof
Is it love, or obsession?I can’t tell anymore.They tell me, “Stay silent,”As tears spill from my core… While my heart’s lost to visionsOf memories, profound-Connection and laughterthrough this bond we had found…It was something I held to-Clung to, perhaps?What we’d lost, then revived,Gave one last second chance… Sure, the world told us off-Said we weren’t … Continue reading Love… or Obsession?
She bleeds diamonds, and the world knows it... They line up with their knives dressed up like roses. A kiss on the wrist; she's losing her mind, She lets them into her heart and they bleed her dry.With buckets loaded, they notice her cries and the sapphires tumbling down from her eyes. Greed consumes; they … Continue reading Beautiful
How overwhelming this feeling of loss returned That it crumbles walls fortified by years of rage and leaves only soft sand in its wake. What is this you’ve done? Why am I naked and bare in soul, craving your attention as I did the first day we met? With your laughter, I am small and … Continue reading Foundations
Do you remember the stories of the light tower that burned when sailors returned? In those days, the sea was not feared but honored, and every voyage was both a farewell and a promise. We believed the ocean took much from us—but we would later learn it also remembers.
Come to me my sad, sad childWith your tears overwhelming your eyes.You've taught yourself through all this timeto quiet down your cries.To wipe your tears, and hug your chest,And sob into your lips.Let loose yourself in mournful callsbut never lose your grip. Come to me my sweet, sweet child-let me hold you and kiss you … Continue reading Surrender
There’s a rhythm now,in the way we movea quiet call and responseas natural as breath,shared between us in every momentas we compose our song together. Your hand finds mineand the chorus kicks inSometimes a big band number, sometimes a gentle symphony,depending on the context of our heartsand the surrounding notes of our lives I feel … Continue reading Our Song
Through endless night, the wind does wail,A knight rides on, his heart grown frail.His soul in tatters, his body worn,Yearning for the touch he once adored.Her voice, a whisper, soft and near,Yet in the shadows, she disappears. For years he's wandered, blind with desire,A king without a crown, lost in fire.Chasing her warmth, her scent, … Continue reading The Hollow Crown
