Winter is hitting hard
the decay of life
gathers in piles.

I thought I spent this whole time
building and growing
but now I'm waking from the

Dream? Nightmare?

To see that I buried my heavy heart
let the flora and fauna
recycle it all

Now is the time
while others sleep
I will clean and restore

So when spring is here
I can emerge
brilliant alongside the other ( Read more... )

When the spirit is willing and the body is weak, you have to put your mind to work. Turn your focus to the inner workings of yourself and address the things you bury. Set aside your fear so you have room to face your life as it is, not as you envision it. Stay above the pity party and look at it all objectively. You can do this. You are capable of ( Read more... )

My emotions are forever out of sync with my situation
I am fickle and impulsive, but will chase a whim down to its end.
Have I always been like this?

You need some time to think about whether you're going to leave because you're trying to let go of me rather than indulge the part of you that wants me for your own.

Polyamory is hard because it can be tough to balance your emotions and desires.

I am a girl, and you have not touched me, but you are not innocent. I had no business seeing the things you showed me. I don't know how to articulate the feeling but I do not like it.

I am a girl, and your breath whispers hot in my ear that you love me as you pull me into an unwanted hug. I scream and cry, and am put down for a nap because I am " ( Read more... )

When the leaves are changing colors
Some falling to the ground
As others hold on tight
Radiant and crunchy
I think about the countdown of days
Until I give up my fertility
And the relief is palpable.
This is a good resolution
To a less than good story.

First your sarcasm
Sparred with mine
Lined with matching anxieties
Then your humor
Cracked into two belly laughs
Which over time
Spread into two smiles
Eyes crinkled but not met
Not really
Not that way
Until a head touched a shoulder
And a needy hand massaged an arm
And a quiet joke
Was interrupted with a brush of lips
All else tumbled
Into the morning

Do you ever want
Two completely different things
So completely
It should tear your heart in two
But you find yourself
Growing
Stretching over and beyond
The mundane possibilities
The what ifs
Into some hopeful space
Where all things are possible
If you just get your vibe right?

I think I'm staring at the end
Bewildered
Yet somehow standing
Beneath the weight of things
But your will to press on
And the undeniable sadness
When your hurting heart touches mine
Tender parts
Deeply aching memories
Old and new
Let me know I still love you
And that we can try
Everyone has it hard sometimes
I've made a mistake
And you don't have to forgive

You've lived your whole life in the shadow of someone you see through one lens. I recently learned some things about the woman you love, that made me love her more. I wish I could share these with you, but I don't see how it could be assimilated into your schema without some serious breakage. Your life is hard, but it is pure. This stuff wouldn't ( Read more... )
