Consolidated Love

How foolish to think we love only with our hearts,
for the heart is but a blood-pumping organ with a purpose.
When I love, I wish to love with every inch of my being.

With my lips and my fingertips,
with my arms and my actions,
with my freckles and my flaws,
with my wrinkles and my scars,
with my breath and my words.

With all that I am, for as long as I am.

Saviour

A summer rain is passing over,
I was breaking apart at the seams.
forcing myself a debilitating path,
but you're holding on to me.

Standing where the lightening would strike,
a loving reflection of me in your eyes.
All that has come and for all that will be,
constantly reminded: I'm under your skies.

Note to Self

We cannot find peace by avoiding life.
