They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
SHINY THINGS (of the soulful variety) Abolish Demolish Shatter Distorted Reactions are high Retaliate At times I fly Too close to the sun Delusions of grandeur Icarus Fallen angel Crisp wings Hurdling rock Space junk My Tower My refuge My safe haven Decimated Ripped away from me In hopes to strengthen Well wishes of Lessons learned Fitting pieces together A jigsaw puzzle So well loved Missing pieces Are the norm Expected No matter We fill in the blanks From memory Built upon Tradition Connection Suppression Of differences For commonality For false claims They call it Unison Unmasked Manipulated easily Mass mentality Mob rules The tendency Is to herd Innate in most The Queen's dog Corgi Majority rules The impact The endless repairs A blow to the heart Pummeled Overriding my senses This is it Shock and awe Extradition Make haste Forgive yourself Pardon me? Of course I have sinned Every cry of joy Every inkling Of pure ecstasy Is defiance Hedonistic Defiance Contrary For the sake of contrary It is the only way To truly feel alive To live for a why Potent enough To inact change Impart wisdom Influence peers The gift of lightness Becomes bigger Greater Fuller Bursting Soul Ruptured Love pours out Surrounds us All encompassing No escape Clogged drain Overflow Nowhere to go Nowhere left to hide Everything done Through love Has power To shift focus To a life worth living Simple truths Alight the path Nirvana Nothing is left To question There is but one All powerful answer It is found Within the pauses Of time itself Within the gaps Of Ether Intricately woven Through life itself Consciousness expands Through heart alone Hear Heart forward Listen Heart song Answer Heart call Respond Love centred First instinct Lean into it Make fear Arch nemesis Invalid entry Temple protected Devinely guided Sheltered Ease Sleep now Let the tides Sway you Gently Purposefully Meaningfully Until suddenly Nothingness Gifted for free Prescriptive lottery You have won Take your turn Pass it on Pay it forward Infinite resource Unlimited supply Increasing demand Opportunity We all get a chance Endlessly Love full

I Was a Rich but I Settled for a Poor Man’s Love Silk dresses folded. Pearls in a drawer. A house with no laughter. A heart with no heat.
Always a Father, Never a Dad There is a difference between being a father and being a dad. The first is a title, an accident of biology, a name written on a birth certificate. The second is a presence, a warmth, a steady heartbeat in the background of your life. A father can exist without ever truly arriving; a dad arrives without needing to be announced.

The Crimson Ground The land is torn. Shadows rise. Blood seeps deep, Where silence lies. A storm above. Its mouth is wide.

You are the lantern of my love Always burning bright. You provide me with guidance Every day and every night. A love that comes in silence

Waiting Together We wait, separately, but in a way that feels entwined. I wait in the shade of your memory, you wait in the warmth of mine.
Becoming Known In every story, every confession, I am discovered slowly, piece by piece, as I discover you. There is a delicate reverence
The Promise Unkept I did not ask you to stay. I did not beg for forever. I only asked for clarity— that if you turned away,
The End That Wasn’t Spoken You ended us not with words, but with avoidance. You chose disappearance over honesty, leaving me to unravel alone.
