poems

you came in slowly like the fog and consumed me.

i open for you like a flower.i let you in like a new day.

woman--another word for beginning.another word for revolution.another word for healing.another word for being.another word for me.

show me all the parts of youthat you do not loveso i know where to begin.

i am like the moon--sometimes, full.sometimes, black.sometimes,forever and ever alone.

love is myself in the mirror.i will see love every time.

you came in slowly like the fogand consumed me.

i over love.i under love.i am either a floodor i am nothing.

i sometimes think i'm too in love with alone.who could i love more than this peace?

some people are so deepyou fall into themand you never stop falling.

there is a difference betweenloneliness and solitude,one will empty you andone will fill you.you have the power to choose.

hold company with yourself so sacredthat even when you are alone,you are whole.

i want so much to touch youwhere my hands cannot.

i am a womanand i am alone,and i cannot tellwhich one of the twoi love being more.

things keep falling in and out of place.this is the universe's way of taking care of me.

oh, the heartbreakingly beautifultender weight of being human.

no one needs love from youmore than you need love from you.love yourself first,and you will always be in love.

you have outgrown this skin.stop trying to hold it in.stop trying to hold it together.let yourself break.
