only fools say

the timing isn’t right

believe me

when you meet the

right person

you will

never

look at a clock again.

2:12 PM // What could have been

I ran to the end of the earth to peer over the edge

To see what lies beneath the brink

I saw

All the what ifs,

And should haves,

And lost loves.

Erased drawings,

Deleted words,

Quashed ideas.

Looking down at all these counterfeit failures

Intermixed,

Together,

As one.

They created a magnificent emulsion of unified disappointment.

A cohesive portrait of human frustration.

An immeasurable excess of disillusion,

And pain.

Curiously forming a chaotically alluring blanket beneath

That without,

We would not understand what defeat is.

I had to peek over the edge of the earth to see

A world without failure is a world without success,

A world without hate is a world without love,

A world without disappointment is a world without satisfaction,

A world without pain is a world without joy.

A realm of things that almost existed but didn’t

1:28 AM

she was a piece of pottery

alluring

yet

molded by someone else

weak

touched

cold

and eventually broken

and again

and again

and again

and finally

she rose from the dusty shards

her shattered pieces became whole

became one

and

she became a mosaic

11:42 AM

darling,

You are like sweet raindrops after a drought

And he hid under his umbrella

You are like a wild rose

And he plucked it and let it wilt

You are like the sound of a live choir, exuberant

And he let his phone ring

darling,

You are exquisite.

9:35 AM

when life seems too overwhelming

think about the times that you

wished

for all the things you have right now

9:37 AM

your hands can plant seeds

your feet can carry you

your eyes can see the good

your lips can speak the truth

your mind can create the most exquisite pictures

your ears can hear stories

your body is strong,

powerful,

and remarkable

your body is your superpower

1:09 PM

Life is a 7 billion piece jigsaw puzzle,

we all belong.

even without one piece, the puzzle cannot be completed.

putting a puzzle together can be wearing,

you need every piece to put it together, and every piece has a place.

we all have our perfect fit,

macro and micro,

the puzzle pieces that are directly connected to us,

the ones we touch and feel

are the people we love, nuzzled near us in this grand visad.

close to some, far from most,

we all play a part in the beautiful picture created by all the tiny individual pieces

maybe you’re a corner piece,

maybe you’re right in the middle of the picture,

maybe your piece is still lingering in the package, waiting to be found.

just the same, we all fit together

perfectly.

9:28 PM

He was a bright, boldly burning fire

with a type of warmth I’d never felt before.

I wanted to sit by that fire forever, and watch it burn

But when the morning came,

the fire started to dim.

I didn’t want to walk away

I couldn’t have

I knew I’d never feel that type of warmth again.

So I put a flame in a lantern

And I carried the lantern with me

It lit the dark paths when I couldn’t see.

In the day, I carried it still, even when I could see.

When you feel a warmth like that,

You should carry it with you always

In your lantern

And in your heart

11:56 AM

He invited her in for a swim

Charmed,

she accepted.

they swam, and dived, and splashed.

she was in love.

but

Over time

the ocean they once shared

no longer belonged to them

It was his.

All his.

The waves and tides that were once inviting

Were now suffocating.

the once blue waters

were now black.

she finally stopped trying.

she gave up

she let go

she let the tides take her.

she surrendered to his ocean.

She drowned.

6:09 AM

She gave you her heart on a silver platter

you looked at it

touched it

tasted it

and sent it back

like it was a wrong order

it was all she had to give to you

and you sent it back.

4:03 PM

darling listen

never let them define you.

you are beautiful and powerful

you are passionate about what you love

even if you haven’t figured that out yet

you are a jewel

an absolute jewel

12:05 PM

Sometimes

The moon

Is a light

Sometimes

The sun

Is grim

Darkness and light

Light and darkness

Tangled and confused

Do you know the difference?

2:11 PM

When a woman knows what she wants

Like a man does

Its emasculating.

5:03 pm

I wish

that I

was a record

so I could share my beautiful words

with anyone

I could say anything

sing anything

and never get nervous

or scared

but instead

I am

a chapter book

I have beautiful words

inside of me

but

it takes someone to

open me up

acknowledge me

appreciate me

savor me

to feel the love

that I radiate

1:56 PM

fascinating.

that is what I want to be called.

loving

intelligent

captivating

I yearn to be recognized as such.

but alas

the words dripping from your lips

make my beating heart go cold

your words

don’t compliment me

they insult me.

say what I want to hear

call me by my words
