Picture

I stopped taking pictures 

They seem to jinx the moment 

Like if there is a moment The moment is doomed to be the last 

Even a simple photo of me...makes it doomed to be tossed away.

I think I’ve learned an important lesson

Similar to many indigenous beliefs 

That pictures steal the soul

In my case, not the soul but the flame

Most I just keep in my head, in my heart

That is enough for me

Strange lesson to learn, share less 

Tuck away more, keep your magic hidden away until the right time

For magic isn’t for everyone

And either am 

And that is the trouble with magic

But That is alright with me !

Thanks less than Jake! I'd almost forgotten about this song :)

Jenn... she doesn't like you anymore

She's tired of the names, the put downs, taking a backseat to anything and everything.

Jenn... she's going to smile, laugh, ride the ferries wheel and kiss in the snow 

Jenn.....someone is going to laugh at her jokes, enjoy her cold toes and steal all her kisses

Jenn.. isn't all the things you call her, or that you've taught your soul to believe or chanted to those you've fooled 

Jenn... she's going on, moving on, getting strong...even stronger than before...

Jenn.... she doesn't like you anymore because she likes herself! She hasn't bought into your insecurity fueled propaganda 

Jenn....she's magic, Fae magic and she's flying away with a smile on her face and a warrior in her heart flying on watercolor wings of hope 

Now I know why

I know why she did it

Why she drank to feel numb 

The burn was nothing compared to the ache of non-existence 

The knowledge she was always second, a backup, or maybe even just an afterthough 

I know why she did it 

Why she scarred her skin

The blood was better than the tears since no one could see them

I don't know how she did it 

Stayed alive when she was fading away

Loved fiercely when nothing worked out right

Believes when there's nothing left; smiles while the waves begin to cover her face and her heart slows as it stops believing in love. Even though she desperately wants to.

Learning her worth one heartbreak at a time. Learning to be strong when there's no strong left.

I know why he fell, softly into a secret lover's embrace. The coldness of his existence was too brutal to take. So he finds solace in a strangers arms.

Love is funny: it heals, it destroys, it gives us hope or leaves us as Ice.

Oh if only

If only the words that pour from our lips were filled with love 

Instead they are poisened with fear, judgment and the heaviness of past hurts 

The Ignorant man refuses to move

Where the wise sits back and listens taking it all in to build the full body of art (per say)

Fear of pain drives us to sabotage amazing possibilities 

Love frees us to thrive in them, all the walls crumble and beauty can remain.

Arrogance can blot out the strongest fire. So be careful of what you comment on, for you only have a piece of the story. 

Vulnerability is terrifying. Are you strong enough to offer it? The gamble is worth the payoff

Was I wrong?

https://youtu.be/VQiofgco6K4

Was I wrong to believe your smile or those words that slide down like tequila with a burn at the end? Was I more than just a body or a space to kill the time, a shot to ease the pain. Another gap filler another right one for now.

I am learning lessons fast. Like that I oft choose naivety to being savvy, purely to feel the joy that the way people now operate often sucks out. Not because I'm stupid but because I'm beautifully hopeful.

My scars and cracks and trickles of tears are what make me rare; i glisten as I break and become someone new.

Funny the words we let trickle out when we least expect them, regularly misplaced or ill timed or fallacy all together.

Strengthen your wings sweet fairy as you learn to fly. Don't let the scars keep you from taking worthy risks. For we all fall sometimes.... and more often than not there's no one there but our soft raw hearts to catch us as we fall. 

Some scars are forever, some heal quickly. Either way, the soaring is worth the descent. Whether the flight be long or short, the journey is worth it. 

So cry little fairy, soar, and risk the scars....it's time to spread your wings.

House of cards....

"You've been with older men? Then you know that they'll hurt you and then They'll discard you."..:. House of Cards

Well well this Hit home. You see, I once

Knew an older man, destroyed me when he discarded me. However, so have others my age and even slightly younger.

You see, I don't think it is the age; rather the intent. Is it to pursue something real and containing longevity? Or simply a fling separate from affection. Or lastly, did somewhere they get lost and their focus landed strictly upon themselves 

I'm constantly battling my soft hippie heart , but now it doesn't know up from down. What's real what's not. Praying and talking with Orion regarding the intense damage one last blow might do to the leftover pieces of my heart. 

Offering my purest kindness and truest version of me, risking being broken quite possibly the last time.

Oh restless heart. Breathe in peace lovely Fae. This change in tides is scary and horrible but in someways stunning and beautiful. 

Trembling hands and a quaking voice. Tears over kind deeds; tears over losses never to be remedied.

One more closing door may be the last. Please don't let me be broken yet again. Keep me safe as I heal, ward off the pain. My life is teetering, held together like a house of cards.

Now

You never call me yours and I can't call you mine

 the words I love you roll from our lips time after time

Yet we both sleep alone wondering why things fall apart 

and our eyes can't stay dry 

expectations without words causing pain and hurt

Redefining life every time we're kicked into the dirt 

the damage has been done by so many before 

 how do we heal 

 we can love each other more 

you shove me away so I don't break you

 in the process shattering me leaving me to beg you 

please love me where I'm at with all the scars and baggage don't go on the attack 

but let me love you with your demons with your fears and all the commitment your heart lacks

Hold me all night through let me help you relax

forgetting our mistakes so that someday we can laugh 

at the silly circles we weave just end up right back

Loving one another no looking back
