Your skin

I want to crawl inside your skin
And be sheltered
From the world
That is too rough for me
Too much for me

I want to crawl inside your skin
And be sheltered

For a while. 

A Scream

I have a scream inside of me
Deep
Primordial
If I scream it 
I will rend in two
If I don't scream it
I will rend in two
Where are you O sister of mine?
Where are you?
I want you back

I 

Want 

You 

Back

For Laura

In the storm 
Words rush out
Unfettered

Thank you 

For taking me seriously

And also 

Not seriously

For getting it

My friend

Sacred

Something sacred happens
When each singer takes his part
And Harmony is created
And it transcends
And becomes more

Butterfly

If you put a butterfly in a box,  
She'll die.

Even if you say
"Here little butterfly,
you can have three little pin holes to breath through.
Just three though."

She'll die.

I'll die.

Light

Transparency
It's life giving
(and worth it)
I'm keeping no secrets from you
My Brothers
My Sisters

#apoemaday

Peace

The sweet comfort of sharing sorrows
My life is crazy
And
So is yours
And
God is enough
Sweet
Peace

Lament

When you silence me
I am diminished
And I will not be diminished
I'll just choose
Differently
Whom I trust my voice to

I
Will
Not
Be
Diminished

And you will be the poorer for it.
