Building Rom Vol.139

She

We cherish the few of you that know her.
The way she speaks, deliberate and true,
The way she moves, effortless, unshaken.

Her imperfect marks, like she, territorial
claimed by fire, A mark of heat,
of passion & stories untold.

Her smile, a ray of light
breaking through the dark,
I love her most
As she is the portal
Where love enters, where life begins

Building Rom Vol.136

Please stay

When “Let Me Go”

Is “I want you to stay”

“For the love of God, set yourself free.”

Pushing away, yet needing so much,

Sacrificing all for idealism you clutch.

Stupidity you thought you never caught 

Now weighs you down, like tangled knots

Do yourself a favor: live,

Breathe deep, 

take what life can give.

Eat, pray, love and repeat

for God’s sake, please,

Unshackle yee soul and findeth thy peace.

Building Rom Vol 131

Bloom once more

If you ever learned 

how it feels to be dead and still walking

To drift through days as a ghost,

Cause no once knocking 

Wearing a heart that no longer beats nimbly,

Cause no one’s coming

Its rhythm lost to a symphony of sorrow,

Like your black coffee

But somewhere, deep in this muted core,

A seed remains, stubborn and small,

Whispering hope to the void in your lungs 

That even dead things can still rise

 and bloom once more.
