Remnants
It’s almost as if
My surroundings shift and change.
Especially when I
Apply, a specific amount
Of pressure.
The ones I tried to integrate
Seemed to drift away.
A friendship is what remains..Subscribe  or  log in to reply

INFJ
The rarest personality trait in the U.S. making up 1-3% of the population
Although very cool, it gets hard to find those who you can truly relate to or be open with
The quote says, “with great power comes great responsibility,” so off days must bloom even when I feel off
Quickly collecting myself like “where is my super suit?”
I have incredible things to do
My superpower sports a cape of compassion like a brand-new bowtie
But they can’t see me when I graze the clouds
Because their mirror gets ignored for parts, they wish to see for themselves in everyone else
Judgement then gets passed at a surface level, but my mind is only comfortable in the sky
My secret identity is me, myself, and I
But they never see passion behind the why
I’m a pretty good judge of character after about three goodbyes
I can dissect the parts of your heart that need surgery, the parts that make you cry
I can feel the shift in your breathing from across the room
I can tell your mood based on the way you’re walking or talking
I can stop the bleeding with my words of wisdom
Words that have traveled around the world and seen multiple lives
Lives that have ended early, lives that couldn’t find purpose, lives that found love and happiness, lives that weren’t treated fairly, lives that only saw hell or some lucky few only heaven knew
All these residences a hundred lifetimes could never see
My intuition breathes on the daily
It’s exhausting but I’ll never get tired of helping others
I’m an empath so my path encompasses the needs of others, I’m still learning to acknowledge my own
I’m observant on a microscopic level so it feels as if I can predict the future when I just notice the behavior patterns most glance over
The keys are in the details, but no one reads between the lines, people only want the cliff notes
Well, pull out your pen, I’m going to bring success to you
1. Love others more than yourself and true love will be attracted to you, you won’t have to keep searching for it only to find pain
2. Gratitude is the only peace that last longer than self-care or a vacation, stop stressing over the things you can’t control
3. Fear and Comparison are cousins that shouldn’t be in your family tree, they are poisoning your roots; so, have a conversation with the two and watch how relatable the confidence you thought you never knew begins to bloom
p.s. my superpower is learning to be a better version of me…Subscribe  or  log in to reply

I truly love the several metaphors in this piece. One of them being “. Gratitude is the only peace that last longer than self-care or a vacation, stop stressing over the things you can’t control” I have to remind myself daily to not stress over things that I can not control and I honestly find my outcome of my situation turning out to be better t…read more

Yes, thank you for sharing your time in this moment of poetry with me. Keep striving for great things and a greater mindset will senselessly become the norm. And one day you’ll notice the growth and appreciate the hard times. The hurdles are only high when you need to jump, the fall is only scary when you don’t practice how to fail, and winning…read more

The Cave
When one turns their back on the suffering of the world,
they are no longer sorry
Sunrays break in the crevices of the dark hole in which grief has buried themDarkness is an old friend of theirs and they find comfort in not having to use their eyes
Just like the swollen blisters of the heart which keeps one in comfortable sorrowThe erasure of shame and the dirty work of healing is a prayer
They pray for discomfort
They pray to feel a cold sweat trembling down their spine
And to have feelings againThe cave keeps one safe
When one tells themself that they belong in this cave,
they cannot be perceived by the world’s creaturesThey cannot be scratched or bitten
At least if they are the one to hurt themselves, control still lies within hand
And when one labels themselves as a victim, it allows them to pursue life unseen and perfectly irresponsibleBut there is a light at the end of the tunnel
And they realize that they were never a victim of the world’s suffering
They crawl
They beg
They pray for discomfort
To see the world hanging upside down as the bats fidget and swoop
out of the darkness into the lightThis cave no longer serves them
Their sorrows will kill them
Their soul longs for a greater meaning than the dark,
damp walls that this crumbling home has providedCreeping on their hands and knees, they bring the light closer
The moistened air becomes cold and the light becomes blinding
Their tears are sparks of what overstimulating joy could beComing out of their cave dragging their feet behind them
They see the world for the first time and the great expanse before them
The illusion that the cave was the only part of this universe flees away in dismayHow could they have stayed in the darkness for so long?
The world is too big for their eyes and their heart
It’s cold and dangerous with people who speak a different tongue
But passion burns through each and every single one of their souls
The cave dweller makes a decision
This discomfort will save them
Transitions the coldness of their heart to the goosebumps of their skin
With the blinding sun rays that caress their cold little body,
they are alive and perfectly stunnedSubscribe  or  log in to reply

Wow. I completely resonate with this poem due to me sulking in my own cave for long periods of time. I love the imagery you connect with nature. Mother Nature always gives insight when needed and shows us the light even through or after a detrimental storm. Grief is a difficult journey and I thank you for your inspiration. I find myself…read more

Wrong Side of The Bed
This morning I woke up,
on the wrong side of the bed.
I found myself where
my wife lays here head.The pillow smelled like her,
and her shampoo.
The blankets were still warm,
so what did I do?I cuddled in,
as tight as I could.
I thought about her,
and it felt so good.This is the place,
where she finds her rest.
Right beside me,
with her head on my chest.At the end of her day,
when her worries are done.
She lays right here,
like the setting of the sun.This pillow is guilty,
of messing up her hair.
It’s her place to hide,
when I come to “wake the bear”.These blankets keep her warm,
through the winters bite.
They shelter her from bad dreams,
that haunt her in the night.I dont know it was,
but I don’t feel the same,
Someone somewhere,
Gave waking up on the wrong side of the bed a bad name.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Know your worth
Just because you have
A few scars, does not
Make you worth less.
Just consider it, experience,
It shows you ain’t new to this.
Know your worth!
Because “some “, like to make
You feel worthless.
You are worthy of anything
Your value can only increase.
With time invested,
Definitely makes it worth it.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Dear Mary Chapin Carpenter
Dear Mary Chapin Carpenter:
You and I met (not in real life) in the late 80’s when I started listening to country music back when country wasn’t cool.Songs like I Feel Lucky and Passionate Kisses were amongst my favorites. But the song I most related to and is still on my playlist is He Thinks He’ll Keep Her.
You wrote that song about me. Every phrase, every chorus, every word was my life from an early bride at twenty-one to divorcing my first husband at age forty-three (slightly off the age of the thirty-six-year-old woman in the song, I’m a slow learner.)
I met my first husband in 1982. He swept me off my feet and I never saw it coming. I should have seen it, there were many signs. I was a naive young girl looking for love in all the wrong places and boy did I find it. Friends and family told me of his family’s reputation in the small town he lived in, over the river from where I lived.
But I didn’t listen. I was a starry-eyed girl, and he was my night in shining armor. Our courtship was short, he asked me to marry him in April and wanted to get married in July of that same year. Looking back now, if we waited any longer, I probably wouldn’t have married him.
I continued this charade from 1983 until I filed for divorce in 2004. He and I had two sons who were the light of my life. So, when he turned them against me during the divorce, it was one of the hardest times of my life. Fortunately, his lies were exposed, and they returned to the fold.
Mary, that song told the story of my life, PTA, carpool and all. The good news is that I am no longer that girl. I live my life the way I see fit. I work hard and am successful in my career and in my life. I love openly, and cry when I’m happy, or when God is close, watching over me. I feel his presence often.
My current husband and I saw you in 2019 at the Infinity Music Center in Hartford, Connecticut. I got a little tipsy that night but still knew the words to a lot of your songs. When you sang, He Thinks He’ll Keep Her I sang at the top of my lungs and cried so hard it soaked my face. In some way, you helped me heal that night. And while the scars run deep, I’m on the other side.
I don’t send Christmas cards anymore. That perfect fairy tale was simply in my mind. Thanks for being there for me, Mary.

Addictive
Anxiously waiting an emotional state
Anticipating just so I can relate
You’re addictive, I’m the addict
Bad habit forming, so eager to date
Compulsive behavior that couldn’t wait
You’re addictive I’m the addict
Compelling thinking,
Let’s keep it straight
Put you on a peddle stool
I needed you, not hate
You’re addictive, I’m the addict
Everybody was doing it
Falling so deep,
In my eyes, it was great
Good feelings I couldn’t shake
You’re addictive, I’m the addict
A feeling that creates, a feeling of escape
My problems you eliminate
You’re addictive, I’m the addict
The real problem was you LOVE
I thought I found it in many versions of him but I couldn’t find it within
You became a drug,
Always needing, looking, searching
Finding that thing called love
You’re addictive, I’m the addict
Confessions of a recovered Love-aholic
Looking in the mirror,
Contemplating the reflection looking back at me
Appreciating that feeling,
The beauty that’s skin deep
The feeling of self loveSubscribe  or  log in to reply

Incredibly beautiful experience
To be still,
Watching the wind
Dance in the leaves.
Watching it move the trees.
Watching it move and shape
The clouds. Just intaking the moment,
Breathing in & out.
Gone with the wind,
Watching & inhaling natural beauty.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

When the Trees Lose Their Leaves
When the trees lose their leaves,
their vail falls away.
They stand before us, naked,
and the skies all turn gray.Trees don’t go out looking,
for something to fill the space.
They wait through the winter,
wrapped in its cold embrace.They don’t waste time worrying,
wishing that they were warm.
They know it’s just a season,
and soon new growth will form.I’m sure they miss the foliage,
they had the year before.
But when God takes something away,
He always gives back more!So when you face a loss,
that brings you to your knees,
know that it’s just a season.
Like when the trees lose their leaves.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Prospects
Time for a new prospect
Have my eyes on a couple.

To see if it is worth the trouble,
Taking a chance.

With some Subtle demands

I am a big believer in trying as many things as possible. You never know what sticks. I saw this story about the musician Benson Boone, who sings this song I like called, “Beautiful Things.” At 17, he randomly filled in for a friend at a talent show and realized, to his own surprise, he could really sing. He didn’t know. He never really tried…read more

Thank you for appreciating
My art. I do believe in continued
Tries without experiencing
Trying new there is only imagination that’s bad either.
That’s where all the ideas
Come from is imagination.

Rhythm
What’s your rhythm?
Today, I awoke thinking about mine
My rhythm, designed by The DivineThat said:
It’s a rhythm of love
Created by The One AboveIt’s a rhythm of joy
Authentic, not a ployIt’s a rhythm of peace
May it never ceaseIt’s a rhythm of patience
Open to innovationIt’s a rhythm of kindness
Graced by divinenessIt’s a rhythm of goodness
Painted on a canvasIt’s a rhythm of faithfulness
And large doses of gratefulnessIt’s a rhythm of gentleness
Created not to dismantle thisIt’s a rhythm of self-control
Gentle but boldIt’s a rhythm of the Fruit of The Spirit
With me? Let’s hear it…It’s a rhythm that’s introspective and fun
Moving to the soulful beat of the drumIt’s a rhythm of flow
What’s your tempo?Subscribe  or  log in to reply

The Fog
The Fog
The sky was wet
No drops
You could still smell the fall of it all on the blades of green
I can still hear its naked skin running across the forest
The crackling of the branches sounded like his jaw clicking
I’d open my mouth, trying to mimic his steps
The fear convinced me of what was getting closer
The vicious fog man
Grandiosity in his carnivorous form
