Trust Fall

I turned 17 today for the second time in my life.

the fear and shame oppressing every cell in my body…

once again sitting with you.

prodded on by a “did you tell him your plans?”

Birthday Memorial

Today is your birthday.

Again.

365 days have passed since the last one…

so many of those filled with thoughts of you…memories…laughs…reflections.

Library Beethoven

the tears threaten to surface.

surrounded by people and yet I am the only one here.

watching your fingers fly from black to white has sharpened my senses…

some days

most days this world is much too much for me.

too much beauty and too much ugliness.

too much terror and fear surrounds me…

Change is coming

There’s a change happening.

I feel it.

In the wind. In the sky. In my soul.

Mind’s Eye

for Dan…

 

i saw you today.

in my mind’s eye, I caught a glimpse.

Until Next Time…

to Rose…

 

You leave today.

Dragging memories and colors behind you.

Glitter on water

and sun-kissed skin sits before you.
