| haikus of the heart |

Can I release you

My heart is so intertwined

I try to let it go

This morning sleep

Isn't much without you here

Your heart was my bed

I am just too much

I am now heartless

I am I am not

Lord please take my heart

I'm ready to give it up

You have better plans

Sincerity is not solicited
Watch who you are
Don't dare to be too much, too much
Please pause
Why are games so necessary
No one dictates how I'm supposed to feel
I thought that was the point
I come without a curtain
I didn't know this was a stage
I don't know the lines so I improvise
too late, too late

The night is my friend
The stars hear my secrets
The moon knows your name

She is the love of life
the very air shifts to whisper across her skin
the sun, it seems, shines just for her
and the moon dreads the days it would not appear
she is the love of life, for she loves life back
her movements breathe healing
and her laugh lights the stars
her being is beauty
and she is not afraid

You say you don't mind a chase
Well I've just bought new running shoes

               Pieces

                                      of

      

                         me

       you 

                              left

                                      

                        here;

                I'm 

        picking 

                   them

                         up.

Teach my heart to take it slow
I've never done this before
Am I too much for you?
I don't know
I don't want to know

I just want to love as me
To live without fear of existing
Will you be accepting of all my heart has to give?
Is there anyone for me?

Do I have to change myself
It would be easier to fly
Can I subdue this heart of mine?
I don't know
I don't want to know

Let me be the sun and sky
All I'm finding are flashlights
Am I too much for anyone?
I don't know
I don't want to know

As the sun sets, I lie here awake
The purple mist rolls in
filling my lungs with acrid breaths of your name
fogging my head with visions
and infecting my lifeblood
for after months of living clean
once again I am held captive
and your eyes haunt my psyche

You charmed the socks off of me, and I was wearing sandals.

Teabags

Your scorching,
intoxicating love
Made all the others taste
like twice-used teabags

Burn

I hope the longing for what once was

burns through your nights 

and echos endlessly in your days

like it does mine
