The sun and moon
Looking up at the changing evening sun to the moon filled sky I wonder if their love story is like the story of you and I I wonder if the sun thinks the moon must be a star too Because the air between them, though twinkling, is still darker than blue So the moon is…

The End of You And I
Maybe you’re wondering why I have not written the end to the story of you and I It may be because even though I have tried my pen slips on the words Scared of the feelings nobody has ever heard but to say goodbye just feels too soon Or maybe illumination will happen under this…

To: Mr and Mrs We Didn’t Work Out
You and I were like fire and ice I came in and you tried to be oh so nice Love was foreign to us both So we looked at our affection like it was an uncomfortable growth There were moments where you and I felt as warm as a summer breeze And others where we…

All that’s left
I’ll imprint on you and you’ll imprint on me Somewhere between we make a memory Something that lingers in the cold A comfort that finds us as we grow old

The day the world became free
And so came the day where the citizens of the planet were free Chains of forced constraints loosened and even an angel would be forced to see A world where demons were allowed to take from souls like an all you can eat People who sell one another like all we are are chunks of…

Oh to be a muse
Oh what it means to have your very essence create the desire to craft a melody Some people may think oh how silly But to inspire pen to paper and create your very likenesses in ink Creates a fire in a lifeless corpse that feels more ecstatic than the darkest kink When the midnight oil…

U and I
If it were so easy to place you and I together The alphabet would be off by another letter A ruler wouldn’t measure distance A watch couldn’t tell you I missed us Because A Space is a lingering presence And sometimes I wish you were here Most days I wish you were near Always I…

Defense Mode Activate
Through small moments Stop and refocus Drop the pen Pick it up again Pencil marks Bleeding hearts Erase the mistake So that you won’t break You won’t make it You’ll just fake shit Drop the mic Bring down the light We’re in a battle Not your average cattle May wear the clothing Take this as…

I’ll never be her
I’ll never be her Not a Ms Conture Not a bombshell girl No hair with a pretty swirl I’m not center stage Barely Ms minimum wage Not the show stopper Though I’ll bring a party popper I’m not graceful in heels Covered in grease working on wheels I’m not good at faking a personality So…

Opening The Layers
I’m done with assuming you know what I’ve been through So though I’m scared let me type it all out for you When I was a baby I was left- for the high of parenthood wasn’t high enough It was hard but I was adopted by people who cared so it was a little less…

Gypsy
That overwhelming feeling I’m about to be moving again I have to remind myself that this is not the end The curtains haven’t closed and stories beg for a climax I have to remind myself of all the things I can try next Bonds to be mended and memories to make precious Because it’s not…

This Heart Of Mine
See the thing is I have this heart that’s just plain squishy Sometimes it can be a wee bit pushy But it’s also patient like a mom watching her kid grow Understanding to get from one point to another a river must flow Being raised in a desert rain is something it yearns for Doing…

Consistency in Stability
As I type this I’m hoping for, like the title hints at, consistency in stability Though I find myself remembering my need for mobility How God has given me a constant state of sanity My list of demands could be a mile long though I’ll let it be When food came from strangers and shelter…

From the Heart of a Beast
My love for you is like one of those things that never made sense but in the end it didn’t have to Because instead of telling you how I felt I crafted you a heart in my toolshed out of sticks and glue I wonder if you only knew what it feels like for me…

Off The Top
Off the top of my head I could name a few dozen things I find charming about this dang guy Then this leads me down a rabbit hole where I find myself writing books about his heart A few dozen songs about how his soul dances serendipitously with mine A handful of novellas where the…
