imagine you caught me with no arms
or dropped me with both
hands demanding it
was my fault
for throwing my heart at your shirt;
an open book that’s
never glanced at,
only tossed amongst
borrowers
in an endless game of catch
pages get ripped
the cover dents
imagine you caught me,
and never read one word.
it would hurt
to be tossed like a ball,
when all you ever wanted
was to share your heart

on the surface of a blue reflection
nothing is certain
float across the ocean
ride the waves
tightly seal lips shut
no secrets spill out
gently hold the breath
submerge into the depths
nothing is certain
on the surface of a blue reflection

not much has changed
when i was a kid
i forced myself not to curse around my parents,
now that I’m a parent,
i force myself not to curse around my kid.

it’s a slippery slope
to juggle with knives
for the first time
adding a dimension of risk
i would rather not
think about it
and pretend it’s what i always did
sincerely
aspiring juggler

enough
to be the one in charge

gone so fast
I missed the chance
to listen.
echoes in my head
the memory of what was said
is a blur.
I took too long to decide
it was time
to pay attenttion.

memories,
fragments of my past
reflecting from a pond
shatters into numerous
pieces
dripping wet
with sharp points and curves,
like a puzzle I wander
many edges in
search of connections,
I close my eyes and
jump
into the depths
of this thought I really miss.
please brain
reveal to me the details
before I soon forget.

a reminisce of relevance
the sun dives
behind the mountain line
shooting up rays of light
unto the bottom of clouds,
like when you’re camping
and your friend brings a flashlight
to their chin;
howling like a ghost.

conscious meets unconscious
the ground at my feet
became visible as I fall
to my knees
my palms fill with tears;
regrets float to the surface-
reflecting into my eyes like a mirror.
