The chaos of my mind needs time, or the words tumble off my lips in disarray; a senseless cacophony. All must be sorted on the page.
I can think loving thoughts that rock me to sleep and hug me so tightly that I feel like I belong somewhere.
Because in this noisy, chaotic world, people who are supposed to care respond to my desperate cries with blank stares
I looked within myself for a way forward: There, I am constricted by darkness, and moisture clings to me like a weighted blanket. Whether it is comforting or constraining, I am not sure.
Ahead, light tears through the aperture; faint, but unrelenting. So, as I crawl, I begin to see my hands in front of me.
I keep my love within you A hope chest My someday home
Give me the most important title in your life, Wife, and allow me to grow into it. Allow me to adorn our shared space with my love. For there is a sense of purpose in being a source of comfort and nourishment to you

There is peace in knowing that I am what I believe to be good about the world.

Love is expressed in innumerable ways, but nothing is more powerful than entering the realm of my existence and honoring its singularity. Contribute to my life by listening to me; I know I may talk a lot, but I appreciate you witnessing the unfoldings of my inner world. Contribute by observing my sadness; I know it may be uncomfortable, but by witnessing the pain that anchors me to this moment you bear the weight with me. By cherishing my story and my telling of it, you get a glimpse into my soul.

For once, I don’t need anything else. I am at peace with myself.
You build a home in the one you love
Why would I give my body to
someone who doesn't know
what it means?

Where will this feeling bring me today? All I know is that I have to write into it.

A mother's love
creates a space
to grow into a dream
It soothes and it comforts
has faith in the unseen
They cover me in clarity
and wrap me in curiosity
until I fall into a dreamless sleep

And my dreams
will be my secret
between my soul and me
A vision of what
the future could be

I know my growth
is limitless
