Out of Nowhere

Everything is so familiar
Like an ocean breeze
Smelling of salt, warmed
With the summer’s heat
As if you never leave
The memories still vivid
Mixing of good and bad
Heart and mind spinning
Lingering feelings of nostalgia
The last few weeks of summer,
We slowly divulge as the
World gets back to work
You were cold, but kept me warm
As my rose-tinted glasses
Clear, let me relish what’s near
As I dream of you in the ocean’s breeze.

Sometimes It Just Takes a Little Reminder

I was reminded
Of what it means
To be human again

Before we became a
World full of Cynicism
And non-believers.

When it was second nature
To take someone
At their word.

When the word hope
Was more than just
A laughable concept.

When people
Were believed
To be able to change.

I was reminded.
That deep down,
I’m still that human being.

Even if I forgot for a little while.

An Alter Ego

Been battling feelings
Of the sinful nature
Been rolling around
In skin that’s not mine
It is so freeing
To be self-indulging
Knowing they are
Throwing me side glances
For something is peculiar
Must give up
The addiction
Of living as my alter ego
Crawl out into
my old world
Never forgetting
The feeling of sin
upon my skin.

A Heavenly Spell

Come
Help me forget
What I don’t want to remember
With a touch so soft
Lips lead me into a distant world
Turn my head into a foggy morning
With nibbles and tickles
Bury me deep in sensations
So my eyes will never yearn to open

Sleepless Thoughts

I sat talking across from the person that knows me too well.

She is the mirror that I can’t avoid.

I have been fooling myself for so long,

I don’t normally get away with it this long.

Trying to justify my inner feelings

 

It’s normally a breeze to put feelings on paper,

But I’m having a hard time admitting those words.

 

“You are not that type of person.”

How do you ignore that statement?

They are words that seep into your psyche.

 

None of this makes any sense.

But I suppose it shows the truth,

Of how my head is truly working.

 

One last thought before I go,

 

I want to forgive you,

But I’m no longer that person

I’m the person you made me become.

 

I don’t know how to change that.

Euphoria

So much joy
To be expressed
On paper

 

Can’t find the words
to show the feeling
of my heart

 

skipping beats
of exuberant delight
at the thought

 

of my life’s blessings
as I sit
in pleasurable denial.

Hitting Pause

What a week!
Or was it a month?
Everywhere I turned
So many emotions
A business venture
A funeral
Late nights
Early mornings
So much joy
Yet so much sadness
Mentally exhausted
I never let myself stop moving
In fear of a mental lapse
Even in sleep
Wheels keep turning
Needing a way to escape
My world
So I thank you all for writing such beautiful works
Allowing me to take a few minutes
And take glimpses into your worlds
While hitting pause on mine

Not That Simple

Someone said to me today,
“How did you do everything right?”
 
I keep doing things that make me happy.
  
Simple as that.
 
I can tell you though, happiness is a full time job. 

 

Now that you mention it, it’s not that simple.

The Reveal

Before you can move on,
You have to admit what went wrong.
 
Do you know how long that took?
 
Before the guilt-ridden feelings,
Stubborn-ness and anger passed,
Allowing my mind to finally,
Believe what my heart was telling me.
 
I turned myself into someone you needed,
The rock that you could always lean on.
 I was being pushed into the ground,
Not being able to come up to breathe.

 

No longer a rock but a pebble,
Being tossed around by someone’s shoe.
 
All the sad and broken feelings,
The passive aggressive revealing,
Must seem dark,
Getting a glimpse into my heart.
 
But through the year of self imposed torture,
I knew my heart was still pure,
I still wanted to apologize,
For leaving you without your rock. 
 
I just –
Couldn’t take it any longer.

A Heart Cleanse

You won’t think this is about you,
Because why would you?
There is nothing in mind,
That would say you were mine.
Who knew a heart could ache,
Even after it breaks.
The past is the past,
But the feelings still last.
So I will try to be civil,
Tell my head to give a little.
For I still think about you,
For a moment or two.
I mean this in the nicest way,
I hope, my old friend,  your life will be as amazing as you say.
