week 474 ~ the most important thing is peace

the most important thing is peace
of mind the kind that leads to sleep
at night where promises will keep
and you can let yourself release
control convince your brain to cease
obsessing trust in the moment
without asking where the dream went
knowing life’s still as it should be
where you left it close your eyes see
you’ve just paused waiting for intent

week 387 ~ ghosts of strangers

ghosts of strangers
puncture this plan
trust endangers
ghosts of strangers
re-arrangers
who always can
ghosts of strangers
puncture this plan

week 372 ~ inconveniently

inconveniently
misplaced you might say
that it’s up to me
inconveniently
to bend or finally
break trust yesterday
inconveniently
misplaced you might say

week 353 ~ I’m a cactus to his feelings

I’m a cactus to his feelings
he’s a hammer to my balance
it makes for a tentative dance
love finds its feet but not its wings
not yet the comfort that trust brings
I hang suspended in my fall
marshaling truths I still recall
he lashes out turns inward why
is it so hard to simply fly
to breathe the wonder of it all
