I will NEVER get over the fact that I can write stories. Like I can weave threads of whimsy in a whole new world and make people feel things if I weave them well enough???? Stories are worth so much!!! Lines of poetry are literally currency to me like I get to write little lines and then writing little lines helps me notice things when I read other peoples' lines????? Magic! Whimsy! Characters! Words! Words! Words!

Forgotten Birthday
It's August 3rd
I call to tell you happy birthday
But you don't answer the phone
I wrap your gift
But it sits unopened
I decorate
And make your favourite meal
But both are unseen, unappreciated
I bake your favourite cake
And light the candles
But the cake's uneaten
And the candles burn out
It's been four months
But it's only hit me today.
Because it's your birthday
But you're no longer here

Janus Estuaries Vol. 3, 1.4.24 “Growing Pains; Ripped Toes & Bloody Nose”
Your body doesn’t move like it used to Family and friends keep telling you so What an awful thing to get older And so the story goes Thirty is moving with eager motivation Each click and clack and creak So you can’t do what you did as a teenager Towards your goals ever you eke In many ways better than ever before Are you reaching and teaching your body to love Each movement, synaptic, reactive, and more No longer is moving a churlish chore So you pop and you lock and you move vibrantly With the pain lasting longer than childhood memory For each smile, for each ache; you will give, you will take Every last opportunity to dance ‘fore your wake So your body won’t move like it used to Better and worse for all that you do

Siblings, Strife, and Stitches
You shuffled up next to me,
asking about the two arguing in the corner.
"They like to crochet," I said, "It's their hobby."
As evident by the two bags of yarn in disorder.
They share the yarn and hooks,
as they're siblings, in the same house.
It's why they trade annoyed looks,
and why they're both burnt out.
They fight for the colors they want.
They have to share the hook tool
All so they can flaunt
their finished works at school.

A Sex Scene For An Empty Theater
I never wanted to find a love that was poetic.
I wanted something mundane and simple.
I didn’t want a messy kiss in the rain with mascara running down my face,
Suffering and picture perfect and beautiful.
I didn’t want to scream from the rooftops
And lie awake at night.
I imagined myself perfectly satisfied
Silent in the kitchen
With my inner world tucked inside my heart
And my secrets safe in spite of the person next to me in bed.
I often stare into the back of your head
Waiting until something snaps into place and I can see straight through it.
I am afraid of your love,
I am afraid of your poetry,
I am afraid of the words I write that outlive me,
Because you have made my life full
And now I will be aware of what it feels like
To be empty.
So please,
If you leave,
Take every memory out the door with you
And either return me to myself or deliver me to you.
I cannot survive as half human and half loss.

The creator
The rush, I can feel it running through my veins
The world beneath my fingertips as I create
I can feel the universe expand
Time is not linear and for once I understand
I did not choose this path, it chose me
I never looked for it, I found it blindly
It is natural like it is to breathe
Something inside of me that craves to be released
And yet, something is wrong
I know,
Everything I touch needs to turn to gold
What value does my craft hold if not every line is perfect, every brush stroke?
Even through a magnifying glass, the details need to be just right
Perfection is unobtainable, not easy to define
Even God wiped out His creation with a flood
Riddled with flaws, set it back, restart
I create until my hands feel numb
The familiar routine
The feeling of filling the cup up only halfway
The stutter in the middle of a sentence
The dissonance in an orchestra play
The one mistake when you draw outside the lines of a coloring book
Do it again,
Do it again,
Do it again,
...
The need for it to be more than it is
Now it is too big, the need for it to be less
The need for it to be perfect
And there it is, the validation
That's what I wanted, the recognition
But is it?
It feels good, temporarily
For it to be seen the way I wanted it to be perceived
And now
I'm filling the cup,
I don't stutter,
There is no dissonance in the symphony,
No color outside of the lines in the coloring book
But it never lasts
The cycle repeats itself
The familiar routine
I go back to not filling the cup,
The stuttering,
The dissonance,
The color outside the lines
Perhaps I am the problem?
I look within and I see a reflection of my craft
I see lack
Finally I realize
I never craved the validation from others
Only my own will erase the feeling of lack
And I also realize
The space in the cup leaves room for a journey
The stuttering means I have something important to say
The dissonance can create tension and is what makes the release satisfying
The color outside the lines turns into little drawings that turn the image into my own
I think to myself
Maybe I can find beauty in the flaws
Maybe what I create is enough.

a toast to the novices
cheers to being new and bad at something
cheers to never perfecting
cheers to exploring a million interests
cheers to a long and joyful rookie stage
because if i keep expecting myself to be perfect, i will end up being nothing at all

i hate this
I can’t say anything to change your mind
You can’t say anything to change me
You’re not at a loss for words
But a loss of words that won’t hurt me
Might as well go talk to someone on the street
Know them just as well as I know you now
I’m not gonna say anything else
Because I know you won’t forgive me

Here, sit in my lap - Poem
I have always been the one left behind
the forgotten child
the expendable friend
the one left out when you're one seat short
I have learnt to build a fortress out of my isolation
learnt to fuel a furnace with my heartbreak
Like Clark and Elsa, I built a haven in frozen barren lands
I thought this was the best I could get
wanted sometimes but not always
only in small doses
only when convenient
But then I met them
and I learnt that real friendship and love
meant they took me as I am
not in digestible bite sized pieces
but the sweet ambrosia and the tough meat
They infiltrated my fortress
filled it with laughter and love
doused the toxic furnace
taught me to warm myself with joy
Now I stand beside, not behind
arms linked so no one gets lost
never forgotten
never expendable
the unconditional love that says
there's not enough seats, here sit in my lap

When I close my eyes there is a void,
And there was fire. A burning cold that consumed what was supposed to be "Home".
A "cleansing" by the divine principles, some faceless god who could not face the fate they created.
It was more like a fairytale than a warning, a bedtime story meant to guide my future. A hand to plant the knife I would drive into his back.
I did not use that knife, rather the knife became his. "He" was upset by this.
"Him" was who "He" always wished I would be. If I were red instead of blue, would I have been like you?
Or would I inevitably fall into the place of the fool once more?
My future is undecided. Should fate call me the traitor, I will smile as I fall, to reaffirm your choice as a hero.
