Somatic

To write a poem that reflects your essence, do not sleep.

Ask yourself what questions lay unanswered in your mind, what curiosities befuddle you about your existence. Think about these questions and go about your day as usual. Do the mundane and the crucial tasks that keep you busy in your waking moments, but do not sleep.

Do not sleep until you are tired - when your body surpasses exhaustion and only a desire for reprieve from the waking world begins to pull you. This should happen in the early hours of the dawning day, when others are already deep in slumber. Lay in your bed, close your eyes - but do not drift off into that other world until you ask yourself once more, what has been bothering you? What questions do you need answered? Think of this as you go, and when you wake, write what you can remember. See what answers you found, within your own wisdom come morning.

Sidewalk Rule

If you knew me,

you would let me walk

on the side of the cars.

I like to feel them pass.

It’s your time now

It’s time to turn the page

of old and forgotten age

It’s time to write a new chapter

making new moments to capture

It’s time to know of the real character

instead of being fake like an actor

It’s time to read further in the book fast

not looking back to the rusted past

It’s time to see how you grow

instead of feeling numb and low

It’s your time now to flourish

find your passion to cherish

It’s your time now to walk away

from the worldly and rugged pathway

It’s your time now to change

lots of knowledge to exchange

It’s your time now to choose

the things you’ll never lose

Go, it’s time…

Your time…

Face your demons

Find peace in shadows, love deeply, face demons with courage, and embrace each new beginning.

“Shower the people you love with love”-James Taylor

Saying I love you isn’t just duty

Take in the love, warmth, and beauty

Cherish the memories you have

Take a moment just to laugh

Live your life full of zeal

”Tell them you love them for real”

I love Thee

I see thee in the still of night,

Thy visage framed by gentle moon's soft light.

In whispered winds, I hear thy silent plea,

And through my veins, thy spirit flows through me.

Thou art the vision in my waking dream,

A tender echo on the quiet stream.

My heart's own blood doth bear thee ever near,

A vessel for thy presence, sweet and clear.

In morn's first blush, thy countenance I spy,

Thine essence captured in the azure sky.

The river of my life, it knows thy name,

And carries thee, a never-ending flame.

I feel thee in the tranquil twilight's glow,

A phantom's touch, as gentle as the snow.

My very soul doth hold thee, bound and free,

In every beat, thou art a part of me.

Fleeting

Tell her you love her.

Tell him you love him.

Then tell her you love her.

Tell them you love them.

And then tell him you love him.

Tell her you love her again.

Tell them you love them more.

Tell him again you love him.

Tell her you love her.

The Woman Within

She's there within you.

A cloud floating by, a petal in the stream.

You'll miss her if you aren't careful.

But, if you're looking up, or peering down,

You might just catch a glimpse.

When you feel her peak out, hold on.

I feel her when my motherly instinct kicks in.

I feel her when I cook, as I measure each ingredient with my heart.

I feel her when I'm kind, when I'm humble.

I feel her when I learn.

She is the woman I've always wanted to be.

She is me, if I can only catch up to her.

I chase after each cloud, and try to grasp each petal in the stream.

To Hopeless Romantics, I’m sorry

Hopeless romantics will always stay that way in real life

Life is not a romcom or fairytale

The perfect relationship with no bumps or falls

I hate to break it to you, but they'll always fail

It's okay to dream and yearn

But don't drag others into that fantasy

Because no one can act the exact way you want them to

And trying to force that will end in travesty

Be real, you're not asleep when you walk the Earth

Think your actions through, because everyone needs to think

You can have hope in romance but remember it takes more than one

You can get your relationships but don't let it easily sink

let it die

If you fan

those dying embers

you try so hard

to keep alive

in the end

all you'll be

left with

are ashes

in your eyes
