The Self Soother

Sometimes you can find yourself in a position filled with pain. That pain is temporary, it comes and it goes, and it can make you sick with it, but it comes and it goes. There’s a strange weight held onto people that makes them think they cannot comprehend, it makes them not want to accept,Continue reading “The Self Soother”

In Another Dimension

I see myself being a little girl, from 5 and on, with my dad, paddling out into the waves and he’s teaching me how to surf. I see us, like two water babies, and I’m learning skills I wish I only learned from him. I’ve been watching a lot of surfer movies lately. Classics andContinue reading “In Another Dimension”

An Ode To My Beloved

I’m caught in a love jones Separated by twos Grasping for glory, Only getting the blues. I’m swirling. I’m feeling lost. Mind frame keep me safe At any cost. Hold me now. Give meContinue reading “The blues”

I have a place for you. A special place that’s clear and warm and soft and smooth. It’s waiting for you to come in and grab hold of me. It breathes water, feeds fire, it nourishes. It shows my secrets, it keeps your secrets. It blossoms in the dusk and the dawn. It feeds theContinue reading “Untitled”
