Poems, Words & Stories

February 27, 2025

Who fears the lack of suffering in another will cause them to suffer in turn? Layers of programmed self preservation beyond survival.

I cannot help but meet eyes and see we are the same. Am I naive? Surely. A chiseled edge heart chipped to show.

Maybe it is me, existing in a place that's always felt so foreign. And maybe it is us and how far we have become. I wish no longer to see into eyes of others. Still, I continue to meet eyes with nativity; hoping one day something might change.

February 14, 2025

I woke up from a dream where I held the world's smallest pearl, gently pressed between my thumb and pointer finger as I slowly brought it to my face, swallowing it whole.

January 22, 2025

why do I feel safer
with a pen and paper

January 22, 2025

The silent stirring of inbetween conversation.
Eyes lock, words unspoken. A pulling tension - to be apart of or to remain hermetic.
Waxing and waning like the shifting moon; the last time I looked it was full for three days on end. Is this the end? It feels familiar yet nothing l've known before.

Who am I now in a place where no one knows me? A shaking drink pulls my thoughts, pulled in to watch.

January 10, 2025

thinking about how far all my loved ones are, thinking about you, thinking about the pain California is feeling and yet through it all, how close in my heart it all feels looking at the same night skies and stars through tear filled eyes of mixed emotions

September 14, 2024

Until the crescendoing music embraces once more. The dark unknowing begins to fade in.

Looking around, we'll have been projected into a new scene. Years leaping for those that were stagnated; having been cascaded with faith.

Cascaded, we fall into place.

A final truth held by the wings of fire

It all felt so small, now standing in the words of a rewritten fate. Forging flames through clairvoyances laid in echoing chambers. The past now a deep burned scar, imprints made that no longer linger.

Faithfully moved through cast shadows- still, shadows to be seen. Curiosities deepen through delayed grief. Eyes continue to see.

August 27, 2024

Something about a moment shared between shoes and smokes. A conversation between two (or a few) and always a view.

You'll see him stand over me like a tower. You won't say a word; but you'll know my pain.
Unable to speak; no right time or space; no words to explain. In this moment you'll know how I felt too.
Now in my absence you'll know too; how I stood alone while my world was breaking,

April 29, 2024

I dream of a world that exists as one; held together by those l've never know. I dream of a world where l'm free to be me, need not be seen externally. Reaching the farthest corners I seek eyes to be seen; gazing back at me in uncertainty. Our hearts placing stones upon moss cobbled walls, yet internally beat in synchronistic ferocity. Our throats dripped with swallowed words we must now speak - now is our time to grieve the felling trees. As The Dawn Star rises and The White Bison is born. Together we stand in prayer; looking into the eye of the storm.

April 2, 2024

[When the world flipped upside down I began dreaming with waking memories from a life long past. Suddenly I found myself floating at the top instead of sinking-In my glass box you watch me; Unable to see what's breaking and molding.]

January 23, 2024

The villain through one persons perception.
How quick our tongues curse words, Passing through exalted emotion
Take and take,
Unable to find the source
swayed in the middle, I stand
Always - they come back To ask, "

In my trance
We're everlasting
Every shape and form
I'm bending
There is no ending

November 9, 2023

These are my offerings, of which they devour. Taste of desire, I am eternal fire.

:: Women of The Mist ::

From our caves we pray
Untouched, in our illusive state.
We see through the veil
Of balancing scales
Pay no mind to the fools game.
Imitate & silence us
For we know false emanations break.
On our knees we understand surrender
nameless, faceless
the orchestrating hands of fate.
Weaving eternal possibilities
for a world long lasting,
beyond humans enslaved.

Far from wars that blanket stars
Ceasing the eyes of men.
From Endless lines, grazing skylines
Keeping us falsely tied,
devouring our land.

We are children
Lives taken before we even begin.
Our voices shake, across the screaming worlds
how our bodies break.

Borderless hearts beat in rippling waves
In our last breath, may we know why we came.

Behind first drops of mechanical rain,
we've never been the same.
For the world to be consumed whole again.

creating worlds setting blaze
watch me burn and recreate

hardwired circuit
our connection remains
systems crashing
machines operate

August 29, 2023

swaying trees speak across moonlit shadowed walls
In the dark fallen upon;
nocturnal paths of waking dreamers

sun pressed, silhouetted sweats
unpredicted forms lay across me
peeling breath
humming silence met
consu[me-

June 8, 2023

In search of silence through a void of stimulation

In my dreams I speak freely, my voice never shakes as I tell them all the story
In my dreams; polarizing extremes
Between bodies; memories that never existed
To name a feeling that does not yet exist
To know a place, you've never been

memoir reflection dream anamnesis
Though I wake, l exist in the space(s) between
Where words melt and rot
Form bends to dissipate
Creating new paths where currents will mold.

If you fall between; and can handle the hold
All at once -
You can hear the whole world.

make a point create a vortex
do you know your new identity?
[Nodes of the Moon]

April 11, 2023

I love dreaming the same dream & similar themes on the same evening as others. I love dreaming of everyone always. The memories created, beings connected with. Worlds traveled to, different lives lived, symbols and messages between. As prevalent as waking life,

March 3, 2023

I hope one day to peacefully go, feeling her winds through the trees, the birds singing songs of inbetweens. Laying me to rest deep into the ground, with nothing as I first emerged. I owe it all to the Earth. The One who understands the true meaning of giving, without return.

Sounds Of soft trickling rain
meeting hands, in infinity
The pain, it's flares
The timing glares
808
new sounds he makes
layers soothing

December 28, 2022

Still alive; silent battle cries
abstract depths of pain past bearing
memory shifting tides
words kept to a time
The world feels so empty
Hand in hand we reside
To die side by side;
Again
Again
Elasticity

November 28, 2022

Placemarkers remain
I'm counting down the days
the wind carries my name

Our echo cries
met death with wide eyes
we bathe in ember

November 28, 2022

The night the stars disappeared

(curious as to how light pollution could potentially affect future generations viewing of the evening skies)

November 6, 2022

The last glaring Star
In a dream we wake
An Elfin being, primary colored spheroid face
A Tender Stare, from the distant place

August 30, 2022

Find the Talisman, tether to this world
reach within the oak, find what had been stowed

A philocalist woman waits near by
observing, with a single centered eye

returning to depths of oceans;
we fall
approaching singularity
Through layers of dreams

Collectors of
Callinectes sapidus claws
Siphonal canals jingling saddle oysters
& first editions left behind

Vapid words spoken
Disembodied to be seen

January 30, 2022

Can't find the words to say
Dreaming with eyes wide awake

Sunrise smoke
Forging flames
burn complacency
we rise again

Emerging Chrysalis

A brush of skin, warm & breathing. Deeper parts we've seen, translating in self presentation(s). A tingling sensation, the touch of a finger. Alternating musing; of one another. These nascent Dreams irrevocably approaching. Feeling through presence, warm whispers spoken.

free falling through the sky coming to;
Point Nemo caught me.

swimming towards the moon as the currents protrude
plantigrade, through poles of inaccessibility

:places many will never see:

March 19, 2021

as we said our goodbyes, under the oak one last time
the song had finally arrived.
a solacing touch, a fear of the eye
together, we walked to the other side
-Sept 27 2020 (seventeen)-

February 25, 2021

Abstract depth to pain
Preparation necessary, as the elicitation process remains

January 14, 2021

cloud covered stars reconstructing archaic dream memoir;
infinite time
synchronizing the hearts

celestial spheres delicately open,
revealing? appearing?

the violence it took to become this gentle

Hand on your cheek, l'd rather show you

Seeking imperfection in collection

November 22, 2020

Drawn to the swirling sounds, the sweetest smells: buzzing intertwined,
silenced

folded into return,
pouring out the urn
panicking for answers
Discovered in silence

A liminal space
A changing face
Awaiting.
- the fate of those who trust themselves

October 16, 2020

an existence in solitude
found deep in the forest under a full moon
what is asked, is available to you
not in what we seek- rather what's in need
perception, patience, follow clues

two extremes - planting seeds - reflection : alchemy - move in silence - as seen in dreams - all balancing

October 3, 2020

The space, the clarity
Might disappear for eternity
Living internally
Free

an emotional time traveler // 2025

October 2, 2020

My roots run deep, connected wherever I land. I create without moving a hand - silently blessing sets of eyes that meet mine, releasing those who've been left behind.

September 24, 2020

a burial under the oak
as the wind sang through the chimes
a song for the space between death and rest
where I reside

House encircling ashes
Sunken half moon
Swallows

July 25, 2020

As though I’m trying to remember.
Or maybe forget.
Many notice, but hardly meet my gaze.
I feel their stares the moment I look away.
Sometimes I go days just.. existing.
I wake, still, my heart is heavy.
Though I am noticed,
no one knows
me.

July 25, 2020

The trees
Hug me
So tenderly
Still though
I weep

If you cannot let go you will be dragged until you do so, until there is nothing left

Two steps back

The light kissed me farewell as I welcomed the shadows once more.

Open mind. Open heart. Surrendering over & over & over again. This journey hasn't been easy. But it's all worth it

The wind wisped me away
Welcoming sweet whispers of change

Our imprints never fade
Even in our silent ways

January 12, 2019

Patterns continually repeating until new is formed. Always constant, never ending, infinitely shifting.

January 2, 2019

The breath that fills our lungs.
The sounds we hear through the day.
The moments the sun touches our skin.
The intent behind these words.

December 15, 2018

Facing the deepest parts our soul, we find beauty. Pouring. Spilling. Overflowing into all aspects of being. Change is here. We are the change.

March 31, 2018

My thoughts leak through like the sun in perforated curtains
Lights and shadows fall across my body hugging me tenderly
Fleeting thoughts not worthy to embody
As I lay in silence lethargically
