“I will love you from afar it’s better this way because close up it hurts too much.”

There are ocean waves inside these veins – constantly pulling me to you.

Your heart is my shelter, my handmade forever home.

I take a piece of you with me everywhere I go, so my soul never feels alone, and my heart always feels at home.

Peaceful dreams find me pull me from reality in their arms I land.

Grace is found flourishing beneath skin blooming from each scar.

I am the moments and memories from the past tied up with good intentions and mistakes from the future.

Growth is no longer seeking acceptance from those who cannot give it to themselves.

If you want to see the world as it should be, read poetry.

I fell for you dissolved like sugar in tea – completely.

I was quiet, yes but I heard all you never said, your silence read.

When I met my darkness clouds | swirled the night sky | refracted light danced in the wild eyes | freedom came for me.

I don’t want the world but I want you in mine.

I will remain soft in a world marked by hardness.

You were waiting for the sunset while I was longing for the moonrise.

If hearts are our homes, why do we let others break windows and throw stones?

Whole, loved and worthy just as you are.

For them to see you shine, you must stay far away, for you are just like the sun, when you are too close, you light makes them blind. And when you are too far, they seek you. So let them seek you.

You shouldn’t get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.

Maybe you’re the reason why all doors are closed, so you can open one that leads you to the perfect road.

A young nurse is standing close behind me wondering whether she is being drawn by my power or her charity.

Science is moving closer to weaponry, and Art is moving closer to commercialism. And never the twain shall meet.

True art comes from flying with the madness so close you burn your eyelashes.

The weather never stays too cold when the mother stays close

All hustlers have the understanding that when one door closes, another will open.
