You Make Me Want to… {poetry}

You make me want to learn Morse code, so that if we were ever bound and gagged and held hostage, we could tap out a plan to save ourselves and everyone else, and if the plan went wrong, I could spend the last moments of our lives looking at you and batting 'I love you' with my eyelashes over ...

Please Don’t Call Me When You’re Lonely.

Birds are smarter than they look, you know. They used to say that about me. So you know that dream, the one you’ve been telling me about for years? Please fly away and go do it already. Because nobody else will ask you to, and the only person waiting is yourself. And when you do it, I hope it ...

I Dare You to Fall For Your Best Friend.

Money does not show up when you find you are overwhelmed with grief. Attractiveness does not comfort you when you are suffering from loss. Power gets you nowhere when you are feeling lonely or ill. A best friend is the person who makes you smile through pain, listens when you need to be heard, ...

The soul is always already working on us, in us, and drawing our attention through desire with symptoms and signs and synchronicity to where transformation wants to happen. Our task is to feel for the heat and follow the flame. Otherwise, we’ll remain out in the cold, separated from our own ...

Acceptance, Forgiveness and Freedom: Ending the Cycle of Abusive Relationships.

Now I understand, now I see, now I am aware... I can look into my soul, digging deeper and deeper, until I touch upon the root of my pain -- I see that when you abused me, it always triggered the same reaction. Whether you were my parent, lover, friend or colleague… whether the hurt was big or ...

I Am Made and Destroyed by the Heat of Love.

Love is nothing but an endless series of questions, a sharp set of teeth in your valves, and an undying devotion to being awake because sleep is rendered useless. Love is everything including the very slowness of minutes when you await affection, the unbearable desire of wanting to fit yourself ...

Love Will Always Be There, but Sometimes It Goes on a Holiday.

With my newfound perspective, and remembrance of how lonely and desolate life can be without our love, we bribe the kids with cups of tea and cartoons, and submerge ourselves in our love renewed. As it always will be. As it always has to be. As I will ever keep it. Untattered. Unbroken. Buoyed ...

I Can Love You Better Now.

I wanted to be close to you. I wanted to inhale your exhale. I wanted to see my reflection in your eyes. I wanted to be rattled by the vibration of your laugh. I wanted to be awakened by the rumble of your snore. But the cavernous space between us was filled with too many tries and apologies. ...

Sexually Transmitted Shame.

This is for the women who have been told they might not be able to have children. You are still a woman, this does not diminish your worth. This is for anyone who has been shamed based off of their bodies' responses to abusive partners, toxic relationships or unknown diseases. Whether it is a ...
