Disclaimer for Your Heart

-

Everything is so finite in this reality,

You like to remind me, it’s all about timing

So don’t mind me being happy to have a couple moments for me and you


Forever is a long time,

A promise rarely upheld

Perhaps forever is just a feeling like love itself

Coming and going as it pleases

Subconsciously fleeting,

Like Nickelodeon or Disney 

Always finding ways to return

Comic books and super heroes

Who died already then had the audacity

To respawn in an alternate universe


Perhaps this is just our origin story

Two celestial bodies dancing around collision

for the first time


We find ourselves pulling closer by sheer magnitude

Though we have our own solar systems to attend to…


I can honestly say I love you

Because I have for a while

Though the feeling has reshaped and grown and shown me

Different reasons why


You know the clarity

of atmospheric boundaries

in a seemingly boundless sky

Gravity giving purpose to flight

So we might lift off without losing ground 


Spread wings as vast as your smile

Gliding sunscapes into watercolor horizons

Falling asleep to heartbeat lullabies amidst the earth’s ephemeral silence


How moon sees its reflection

in darkness of ocean

Endearing its caress of shore

You make me want to explore new facets of movement

Like dandelions growing toward sun through cracked pavement


A puzzle with a missing piece

My play doh spirit wanting

to fill that space with anything

to take away your empty

Embrace you any time a shiver finds its way into your bones

Gaze into constellations

to find our way back home


Clouds of sighs

Bring out blueness in your eyes

But your voice billows through the masses

like a Sunday service

Cadence and flow with words worth weekly worship


This is

a candlelit disclaimer for your heart

Shooting star teaching moon to fly

I wish only to bask in our dust

The beauty of us scattered across an infinite night 

How we happen to align

For a series of stolen moments, and sultry rhymes…

I would read this story a hundred times

Though, as you like to remind me,

We have yet to stop writing

Origins

-
I’m not crazy, weathered at worst Like early days of earth Rubble rock birthing life from  violent destruction Fires burning molten in the underbelly of my origins Bubbling beneath cracked surfaces Where I oftentimes appear stable My heart is a volcano Bursting at the seams where new ground must form Former foundations crumbling, splitting like Pangaea  Where connections we once had feel like nothing more than distant history Evolution of man How he crawled out of water to feel sun upon his face How I would wait hundreds of thousands of years  In hopes he’d emerge from darkness to find me Staring out into space The nostalgia of quiet combustion Peering into past lives in the distance Knowing most of what I know to be beautiful is dead I am a supernova  Bursting at the seams where new life may form  Gathering masses from stray debris Gasses and gravity Nebulous love Pulling together new solar systems  in ancient designs and unwritten formulas Life is messy S...

Which Apocalypse Are You Rooting For?

I'm something of a movie junkie. I love them! There are so many on my "to-see" list that I just feel I've grown insatiable. One of my favorite genres is the whole major disaster/end of the world bit, mainly because I am an extremely pessimistic person [unfortunately] and I have what I like to call a "final destination" perspective. Whether you wanna call it Murphy's Law or just bad luck, I have given up doubting that the worst possible thing(s) could happen to me. I'm not gonna say I live my life in fear of death, but that my imagination allows me to play with ideas of death happening in pretty much any situation.   Anywho, I just watched Jurassic World [don't ask me why I waited so long to see it in theaters]. It was so awesome! It's amazing to think of what magnificent feats can be achieved through genetic modifications. Magnificent, but terrifying at the same time. I'm sick of humans always trying to play God. I would not be at ...

Exposé (Chapter 1): the truth about my "mom life" and why I didn't have the guts to talk about it before

-
Hello again, digital world! I am back on the interwebs and with a fresh perspective at that. I know this blog is less than a spec in the grand scheme of the world, but I felt I should explain, to anyone who cares, the reason(s) for my four-month hiatus. After writing my eighth month birthday post for Arthur, I realized that I was dissatisfied with my blog, but I wasn't exactly sure why. I absolutely loved sharing my little updates about Arthur's growth and development, and loved sharing all the little "mommyisms" that I was discovering day by day. It was the fact that I did not feel comfortable being 100% transparent about my personal experiences with motherhood because I knew that my general lifestyle is considered questionable by some, and easily judged by many. My biggest fear was that writing the complete truth would incur some controversy, particularly with the more traditional branches of my extended family. However, I have been doing some serious soul searchin...
