If Words Could Speak
They’re hesitant to be heard Afraid of the reaction it might get Afraid of how they’re perceived No matter how many ways they’re expressed They always come out with meaning, Sometimes they’re interpreted lazily They’re sorry when they’re hurtful So they replace themselves with more compassionate meaning The ones that makes you smile instantly The…

Safe Word
I am invisible to you So I think I fantasize about you daily In hopes of manifesting you into my bed Or yours Intertwined in your soft thick thighs You take the lead this time around Planting kisses on every sensitive spot Wrap your hand around my neck That grip just makes everything that much…

Happy Mind, Happy Life
Today it took you until 3pm to get up and actually get your day started or to get out of bed. Congratulations, at least you made it that far. We need to give ourselves credit for the tasks we find difficult to complete. I also encourage you to write down those accomplishments and how it…

Veil
You pretend there isn’t a storm Nothing to protect you from the rain and hail You walk barefoot in the alley Glass hidden in the cracks of the pavement Penetrating the soles of your feet You never complained You took on the ocean You never swam in anything deeper than 5ft Yet you rode waves…
