Stay safe
In the confines
Of these walls
Never risk more
Than you should
Cover your blemishes
Lest someone sees them
Hide protected
By what you’ve always done
And whatever you do
Don’t trust…
And when all else fails
Don’t listen
To any of the above
And actually live

Semantics #februaryfalls
The Void #musicinspiredpoetry
Before the silence
There was a sky
Broader than you or I
Before the stone
There was flesh
Malleable for things to come
Before the ash
There was fire
Humbly simmering
In this universe of unknowns
Before the end of the page
There were words written
Echoing possibility
But before you and after you
There is still me
Tidying the void
In the silence

Burning Beauty #februaryfalls
In violet dreams of twilight
I burned for an expanse
Broader than touch
Deeper than the ocean
I yearned for love
I ached for exposure
And found the lover I seek
In no man
In no tangibility from this earth
But by the hand of beauty
Something I felt
Beyond my flesh
But rather piercing my soul
So that when touch came
And when love arrived
It came purely
It came as I needed
First by feel
Then by trust
In something more
Than the finiteness of flesh
