You're holding a firefly through the night

Your life is short

But you make pitch black a little brighter

You're not sure how long your firefly will last in the cold or in the hot

Your worrying makes time pass way slower

But you make pitch black a little brighter

You shine your light across the pitch black woods or meadows

You see other people with their fireflies

Some brighter than yours

Some dimmer than yours

Others with no firefly at all

But their light shines somewhere in their eyes

You smile as you look at at them all

No matter how small their smiles are

You lighten the ones that don't have one

For a little while

Then you return to the light that you've made on your own

In your little house on a prairie

Or your cabin in the woods

Even in the houses where you feel locked up from the the real life

Or your apartment where everyone builds the big lights in their life

Always make sure your firefly doesn't die too early in your day

"The Firefly"

When the night is young,

Why is it so dark?

Down to my bones

I know that I am

Yours forever,

And even when

Those bones are dust

My soul will continue

To whisper to yours,

“I love you.”

They Are Real To Me

An original poem

You say that they are not real You say that they are made up

But what you do not realize Is that they are more than that more than what you think they are

They are the friends that I never had The family that I made myself Souvenirs of a journey Memories of a time gone by

My transports to another place My guides to another world My defenders of unknown threats My teammates in battle My most trusted advisors My friends by my side

They have helped me through my greatest struggles, Helped me through the worst of time, They have told me that I am not alone, When I felt the most alone that I had ever been

They are my closest confidants My found family My loyalist allies My desirable enemies And my secret keepers

They have me guidance, When I had no sense of direction They told me where to go When I felt lost, And were a friend to me When I needed a friend the most

They are more than what you think, They are not only a figment of imagination They are not made up, They are real to me. They are so much more than what you think And they are so much more than what you could imagine.

Finality

'Finality' - my final poem in this weekly series but hopefully not my final poem.

For an audio-visual experience of this poem, see below: Where are the lines that I need right now, stuck in the moments slipping through my fingers. * Like the final chapter in a favourite book, I see if I can read one word at a time, stretch this part for as long as it has taken to get here. * Although this has ended, the end makes way for something new. * The final…

I have opened

A doorway

I always knew

Was there

But never knew

How to find -

I wonder

If it happened

In my dreams

If my not-hands

Clawed at

Ivy or

Maybe

Barbed wire

And - bloody,

Broken

Found

What they'd

Been looking for

All along.

I keep trying to run from the memories, from the person I hoped you would be because the truth is I fell for a boy disguised as a man that didn’t know that his girl had to be let down slowly before he ran away, so he left her standing on the corner, wishing on a cloud of dust that he might come back for her when the sun set again.

You’ve probably reinvented yourself a million times by now because it’s been years since I last saw you and you don’t seem to want to know me anymore, and you pay more attention to my sister than you ever did to me. But we had ourselves convinced, in some tiny corner of our hearts, that whatever chemistry we had had the power to turn into something real. You told me that was what you wanted for a minute. But I’ve stopped trying to convince myself that that was true. Because that’s not what you tell everyone else. It’s not the story you’ve decided to keep tucked in the back corner of your mind for a rainy day, when the world is crashing down around you and you need a five-minute remnant of that summer to get you through the night without tearing yourself apart.

Sometimes I turn down your street or I close my eyes And play the song we listened to time and time again, arms wrapped around my waist; lips pressed against mine as I drink in the taste of weed and Svedka, just a sip or two to forget the pain she heaped onto your shoulders without a second thought. I remember those nights we spent waiting for the shift to end, your hands traveling all over my body as your lips pressed against mine and the minutes passed more quickly than either of us wanted them to.

-The boy I'd break clocks for.

When the stars align

I know that I’m alive

Just sleeping.

Dreaming, fast forward somewhere

Keeping me up until the morning.

I suppose I teleported here.

And then Im kept awake by the birds,

they always sing.

Even on Monday’s.

Perhaps,

It’s not a bad day in this lived in home.

Perhaps,

I am just sleeping, and tomorrows gold.

In your whiskey eyes,

I can drown my insecurities

As you see me like

I’ve never been seen before.
