The Magic of Solitude

Because its finding the piece
That helps you find all the others.

Because its the adventures
That help you find your treasure.

It's the hurt that helps you heal.

And the questions which make you learn.

It's boarding a plane.

It's leaving you're town.
It's experiencing heartbreak.

And falling in love.
Not with just a soul.
But with nature.

I can hear and feel everything inside.
You're not just passer by's,
But atoms that float by

And I know who you all are
Were all breathing
On the same string.

Lust Alive

My arms reach
But the gap is too big.

Your distance and mountains
To keep us apart

Barriers and guards surround my heart

There isn't a door
And I can't try to build one.

You'll have to break in,
Because I want the magic that's
Lingered between us.

But I sit among another planet
And if I were given another rejection

I would leave the galaxy
Completely.

The pull

I need you
So that I know my heart beats.

I need you
So that I know you're mine.

The distance is breaking
What I don't want to feel

Someone always has to come along
Rob me of my numb closed heart
And make me feel again

I'd rather not breathe
Then feel the desperation
For another

Ordinary but my heart says more than that,
Tired of fighting head and heart

I just want to rest

West

I stood in awe
At the cliffs
That stand above me.

Finally seized in the territory
Of a place I only thought was a dream

And when the snow falls,
I smile.

I have never believed
In anything so beautiful.

Rightfully

Have you left your house lately?
Seen the world recently?

Taken risks, undoubtedly?
Fulfilled a desire, impulsively?

Stretched your bones, effortlessly.
Smelt the air, unknowingly.

Genuinely cared, lovingly?
Quietly observed, thoughtfully?

Wrote a poem, descriptively?
Questioned things, questionably.

Flown in a dream, subconsciously?

Healed yourself, responsively?

Travelled far, desperately.
Held your family, meaningly.

Appreciated home, thankfully.
Gave something, appreciatively.

Woke up, happy.
Went to bed, ready.

Made this list, and followed it. Maybe?

It's worth the try.

The Power

The valley where hills were golden,

And winding rivers stream.

I read it in a book.

Filled with chapters of magical realities, and tragically dominated lives.

Half of evil and half of love.

Equally they both have the power to be dominating.

The only difference is that Evil conquers you 

To death..

If you cannot cut the chords.

Love, guides you infinitely. 

Endlessly.

Up.

Just keep remembering why you're doing what you're doing.

Because as soon as you forget you fall and shake hands with evil, again.

And then you have absolutely no idea where you are.

How many times do I have to fall?

I just hope this is the last time I stand.

And for forever.

S.J

You came from another place.
Like a guidance to my dying sorrows.

Depression has the power to kill you.

And still I refuse to stand

Andromeda

Beneath the grey,
Beneath clouds
It's blue.

Within the concrete
We crack, chip away.

Against the wind,
We cringe, we flex.

But we're just like a structure
Standing in the chaos.
Still.

And somewhere there's a white tree
In the distance, we stare. And evolve.

And I wonder if we trace this circle
Forever. Walking.

Or if somehow, somewhere.
We end up in the middle.

Philophobia

It's not a crack in the skin.
It's a crack in the heart.

Not just a wound, a constant weight.

And even if you held me, captured.
I'd find a way to flee.

Couldn't convince me, if you tried to make me believe.

Love won't set you free.

A risk inducing loss, out of control that buries me.

One single shut down.
Bounds you to the ground.

And I understand what I couldn't understand.

Why you pushed me away.

And now i'm the one hiding away.

And how could you live in peace,
Knowing you caused what once broke you.
Took you.
Given.

It's not just a shiver, it's an earthquake.

It's not just a crack, it's a catastrophe.
What followed you, now follows me.

And a breath inhaled, won't ever be let out again.

Warning: Falling Rocks

I fell off the moon.

On the ground I lay,
We dream and seek prayers far away.

And if you were young,
Which demons would you slay?

Would you forgive those who have run away?

If you could fight the clock that dropped you off at sunset,
Which way would you spin?

Which atmosphere would you give in.

Which moments would you erase to make up for sin.

You fell off the moon,
In a dreamland too soon.

The Strength It Took

It wasn't about the swing.
Back and forth.

Up and down.

Trying to jump off, without falling.

Caught in air.

But you've given me the messages I have always wanted to hear you say.

Admiration, fly away.

And I will come home again, and be your angel.
