sunny orange orb
it beckons my attention
i wish i could fly

Safe Space
snuggling with enjoyable things
sleepy, cozy comfort
when the haze lifts
hoping for a jovial mood
bouncing lively into the day
maybe just five more minutes…
… i have a close personal relationship with my bed
Achieving Harmony
we band together
our world – a colorful blend
rainbows instill peace

Erred
Redux
You as my Lover
acting like you care
You liked to Hover
we made a great pair
But you were a Shover
found out too late
So I ran away for Cover
to escape this fate

Primal
all is a mystery
awaiting discovery
the push for self-actualization
an essential drive
extending oneself to the highest
fundamental to our existence
without it
we cease to exist
at the very least – to thrive
Never Alone
unencumbered now
i cherish this time with you
safety, peace and calm
Prudency
behold clouded view
nature’s intent camouflaged
next steps are mindful
Extending
the sun beams guidance
no borders in the spiral
spirit soars higher

Wounded
Redux
my past returns
up in my future
like hot juice
down my throat
it burns
this becomes something else
tainted and wrong
desperate attempts
at rising above
at feeling less defiled
sullied and broken
once again
first time, shame on him
second time, shame on me
a third time won’t happen

Inside Out
sorrow evident
nature mimics the heart’s aches
hard to hide sadness
