Listen to this Suffocated by my own breath air heavy with the stale weight of overwhelm. STILL, A PLEA TRICKLES FROM MY LIPS. Please G-d, Goddess, let the stars fall back into alignment. Please spare all sentient beings from any and all unnecessary suffering. HEAR MY PRAYER. Please let there be peace; let it take [...]
Listen to this my mind takes me into Your arms–the one place i know that i am safe from all harm, HELD APART from the chaos of the world, the only mark of time our heartbeats DANCING in sync. LOVING when You HOLD me… When You HOLD me stillness FALLS. … A VEILED PARADISE … [...]
Listen to this WHERE IS THE ECHO THAT ONCE SANG IN MY DREAMS? And how did I soar so high above the tree-line for so long? When we are lost, is it because the world has cast us out? Or is it that we have somehow swiftly (though without knowing) cast out the world? Please… [...]
Listen to this Glitching sunlight pierces through the tired dust of apathy. “You will RISE AGAIN, and I will draw the trust out of your lips,” he said. She nodded softly before curling back into herself. Sick of jumping from nightmare to nightmare, wondering if trust could possibly be aligned with truth. Wishing for a [...]
Listen to this She was curled up, in a tight cocoon, and resting so precariously on the edge of a tree limb. It didn’t bother her that there were dangers; it didn’t even cross her mind, for wherever she was, home was, and home was always that perfect flavor of beautiful. I WANT TO START [...]
Listen to this Thinking of you in the folds of darkened night sky and passing clouds. THERE IS A MALA WOVEN BETWEEN OUR LIPS. Sometimes, I wish I could fly past the void that plays such tricks, and just stretch out next to you, counting the beads as starlit constellations. [Translate]
Listen to this Right now, the world is spinning around me and I am dizzy with it. It would do me well to remember how to melt. To remember that I am the form that is malleable, the vessel that transmutes. Sipping on now-cold peppermint tea (because forgetfulness is my favorite flavor on rainy days), [...]
Listen to this “Take my hand,” he said. “I’m your primal fire; and together we’ll make stars explode.” But first it’s the ritual bath cleansing with epsom salts and eucalyptus. And she reached out and kissed each of his fingers before that small surrender, before lacing hers within his. [Translate]
Listen to this I relish in the permission given to be little, to curl up into a tiny ball, to rest and dream in the safety and warmth of your pocket. And afterward, you’ll unfold my wings, and I’ll shake and spread them outward. Stepping into myself. Integrating the timbre of your voice, allowing myself [...]
Listen to this Delchai’s words rang in the crisp air, “Don’t forget to call upon the Spirits of the Wind before feeding.” She shook her head in disbelief; it couldn’t be time again already. Yet Sephedrie knew better than to taunt her gods. She whispered a prayer of capitulation and fell to her knees, heart [...]
