Today and Ever Day

Love is being. It is the smallest particle and the entire universe. A backdrop, the illusion we call life. I am love and you are too. We are all worthy of love, are all enough. You are perfect, powerful, and presence manifest. A miracle.

Sadness is Power

Sadness is power. It is expressed through pain and promise.

I desire despondency, its weight digs deep into my soulโ€”

fissured, yet unbroken.ย 

I seek solace in love.ย 

The presence of sadness undone.ย

Love is Simple

Love is simple. Itโ€™s a supple branch, awaiting a flexible grasp. I reach with my fingers extended, lost in a milieu of negative expressions. Love is surrender and simplicity, expressed through serendipity. Intent upon my own destruction, I await loveโ€™s reconstruction.ย

Addiction Surfaces

Addiction surfaces from sound. It is a memory, constricted and constructedโ€”innocence. I am a puppet, purpose crushed under desiresโ€™ weight. Feelings bridge buoyant betrayal, conditioning of composure and complicityโ€”addiction, presence in perpetuity.ย

Hopes Melancholy

Hope is the master of melancholic metaphors. Its sinister side, sullen and sadistic. I wear its despair and weather its disquiet, a trial of tribute and tribulationโ€”hope. It grows pain, and plunders disdain, a remnant of all who came.

Masochistic Merriment

Pain peels perpetually the possibility of patient persistence. It is the marrow of serenity and sorrow, and an invitation to masochistic merriment. I choose pain, and the loss of love. It is breathless, a buoyant harbor of hopeโ€”a quiet storm, and a safety Iโ€™ve neverย  known.

The Currency of Life

Love lives in the simple moments. In the triumphs we celebrate, and the trauma we commemorate. Peace arises from the piecesโ€”the aftermath. Love follows the follower and fallows the followed. No one escapes. It is the ultimate price, the currency of life.

Tailored to Fit

Light leans into love. Itโ€™s felt in full when open to fright and freedom. Experienceโ€”the catalyst of the unknown and unknowableโ€”words that mean little. I find sovereignty in simplifying. In owning ignorance and the insight it offers. Awareness, both confounding and comforting. I wear it like a blanketโ€”tailored to fitโ€”an uncommon and unparalleled gift.ย

Expression Nourishes

Prudent purpose plagues me. Itโ€™s all

consuming, and expects too much.

The words fill a void without.

meaning, itโ€™s consumption to

consume.ย  I find solace in the

comfortlessness. Its expression

nourishes, andย its silence confounds.

It leaves me little rest. I am

compressed within, and tested and

tried in a world built on sin.

Crafty Presence

Dread feels like pressure. It fills all available spaces with its crafty presence. I hold onto promise, and its weightlessness, knowing anxiety is waitingโ€”I can feel it just under my skin, like tiny rivulets. As peace beckons me, a faint breeze of calming awareness hintsโ€”itโ€™s all transitory. You, me, all the things we feel and see, are all a part of the same self-created story.ย
