National Poetry Month: Day 14

I don’t have much to say this week. I’m quite a bit emotionally exhausted by events of late, but I did write this, so enjoy:

Look in my eyes —
say to my face.
is your words lies?
you’re truly safe?
What do you mean —
when you paint this
sweet, serene scene?
what is the twist?

I want to believe,
trust what you say.
But should I leave?
Or should I stay?

Over the years —
unreliable
it makes me fear
you aren’t able
to do what you
claim you can do.

Open the door, step inside. Here you find a forest, teeming with animals and birds, which sweeps up the sides of snow-capped mountains. Here in the small pocket of beauty, one finds the essence of my soul. A writer at heart, I delve deep into the finer details of humanity's spirit, and seek to share with others what gems I uncover. I find life exciting and full of interesting surprises, and despite the great pain that often confronts me, I persevere with the joy in my heart still bubbling, and the light of my soul still aflame. There is a time and a place to introspect one's self, but often enough it is best to not look back in regret, but leap forward in the present toward the achievement of one's deepest dreams. I am a wanderer. An explorer. One place cannot contain me for long, but to my friends and family, I remain loyal, for love is not bound by time nor place. Once cultivated and nourished continuously, it binds people together on a journey through the unknown reaches of life.
