experience

when I am the air
it is different than when I breath it in

when I am the sun
it is different than when it burns my skin

when I am the water
it is different than when I am moving in the water

when I hear you
it is different than when you say something to me

exhale myself inside out of mind's eye
straight trail on a dark path
moonbeam guide

find a place inside your eyes
that is also mine
where the world lives
cradled in a basket waiting to die
together

manipura hears

paints roses yellow
instead of looking at them as they are

red

doubly disappointed to find out they're plastic

intention

a blue lamp in a yellow room
glowing true, the truest truth
makes green heart chakra
flowing lava, light, volcano mountains
children bending to worship the wind
become leaning trees
hah!
hah!
hah!
we, yes, we
oh, you
are something special
I'm amazed we find our way here
every time
a pin hole's glimpse from one universe
holding hands with the other
yes, I feel it too
while we string moments together
where time stands still
pant legs rolled up to our knees
toe trees rooted, fluid, flowing resilience, current making
way for balloon minds floating around in the clouds

bella(s)

responsibility
duty
work
masculine terms
to put aside
to spend time
with women
beautiful
dynamic
women
laughing with so much joy and wisdom
between shadows and heartaches
long grown out of a wishful
was once youthful naivety
moving and doing
something
anything
to keep time from passing
from looking within
at this
aging
beauty
