these are words i wrote 661 days ago

and when she was little, her mother dressed her up in red
she never listened to a word her father said
it brought a smile to his face and he held on tight
they floated through the sky and with the stars at night


as the girl got older, the red began to fade
still a smile on her father, although a different shade
her mother grew some wrinkles, some of her hair now gray
but the girl was still her baby no matter what they say


now all the red is gone except the streaks along her hair
her father spoke very plainly because he did not care
his wife was ten feet underground because her heart could not go on
the sky was always empty and all the stars were gone


she sat alone in her room with autumn in full bloom
never asking any questions because she just assumed
her parents spilled out their happiness so she could consume
their every single sorrow as it came out in full bloom

fragile little bones

we are reveling with so much spirit

creating thunderstorms before we cool it

let my mind go south and my neck snap back

eyes straight up to the space jet-black

this mountain of momentum is all i can climb

peaking too early because it is never the time

purple spots were never what i had imagined

but lovely are the icebergs that i found within

spring turns to summer with stellar reservation

sharpening the hues with greater concentration

the bend is the sign that we must keep going

let the colours mature as they continue growing

may i rest in your wings and lay down my arms

hide from the monsters that haunt me from afar

with words that sink straight through my skin

speaking of things i should never believe in

help me find an island of my own

illuminate every sensation of my bones

carve your worries on the soft of my bare skin

all the things you should never believe in

i’ll build a boat for that island you'll call your own

to protect all of your fragile little bones

through the crack on the fence

the lost sheep grazes the greenest grass
that grows so tall as seasons pass
the temperature is as it should be
and the sheep it roams so calm & free


the lost sheep follows the finest scent
in every direction the sheep it went
nimble steps to a destination
an always changing destination


the lost sheep will never sleep
places to go and sights to see
goodbye sheep, go find your peace
travel far and rest in your peace

soultree

this is who i am
this is all that i will ever be
so if i die tomorrow
let the sky be blue
let the sun be blinding
for all who shall dare...
to look upon it's beauty


let them remember that
the day was perfect
that if you flew a kite
it was stuck perfectly
in midair... just floating


i count the hours before i dream
to see the colours that are never there
with all your friends
and all those you long to see
stuck in the space you long to breathe


here i am
i am close
close to the edge
but drifting with all my soultree
words conjured up from the greatest of friends
wishing so bad that
the words that you know
are the feelings instilled
in the depths of your mind
waiting to be discovered


if i was to die
i wish to be buried by a tree
nourished by all the things
people never ever notice
and i would be so happy
to be in the company
of the things people walk over
the things not given a second thought
i would be their first thought
i could be their only thought
and i would be so happy
to be there
in their presence
their only presence
the only true presence
that i could ever hope to know

under the sheets

in my restless dream

my delicate dream

i found you alone

under the blankets

under the sheets

your hair covering your eyes

your dress smooth & white

under the clouds

above the earth

i found you alone

and you spoke out loud

your every honest thought

cut through me like glass

landing soundlessly on my lips

your eyes were perfect

like the room we were in

if i never fell out of slumber

it would have been fine with us

trapped with our minds & hearts

the colours swallowed me whole

let the feelings paint the words

in my unstable dream

my volatile dream

i found you at peace

arms open wide

a smile that drew me close

under the blankets

under the sheets
