Dancing in the Rain
A slow pattering
Little drops
On a canvas white
Their mesmerizing
Lusciousness
To my brain
Exuding rest
Peacefulness
Slower breathing
Bringing up
The rear
The smell
Wafts into
My brain
A little dirt
Mixed with
A sweetness
Met with
An exuberance
For new life
Springing forward
In the months
To come
Let it rain
My soul
Dancing
In the rain

We are Moving into Virgin territory Somehow untouched We should Be hardened But trust Vulnerability Drawing to The surface Softened butter In this place Rather than The expected hardness Your presence Causing me To melt further Feeling myself Gently running Through your fingers Pooling in Your essence Taking…
When’s the last time You cried so fucking hard You laughed? Let me try that again When’s the last time You laughed so fucking hard You cried? I’m learning understanding these Intersections of emotions Can help unlock where we are Where we want to be Are we known? Are we passive? Are we hiding? Are…
