I have never been one to share my poetry to many people, but each of these poems was inspired by where I was at that exact moment. I hope you enjoy.

October Breeze

The October breeze danced around me

as swift as you danced around my thoughts.

I loved the way you consumed my mind

for my images of you were always so divine.

You made loving so easy,

not complicated and toxic like the souls around us.

We are pure...

Organic.

Just like the October breeze that danced around me.

Skyscraper

I walked around the pulsating streets of downtown

Laughter, music, chatter

Buildings standing 10 times taller than me

Their bodies reaching for the night sky above

I realized then, we weren't so different, the skyscraper and me.

Created by other bodies

Reaching, stretching, yearning

To kiss the stars above

Holding so much beauty and heart inside

They have brick and I, skin

but if we take a second to think of things and the characteristics that make us one

prejudice and judgement would be none.

The Tree

Here lies the tree that unraveled the thoughts I had about men and their infidelities

It's roots used to be planted so deep

"Guys are all the same, all they want to do is sleep with me"

No, not in the way where my head is nestled in the curve of your neck

Not in the way where my warmth simmers on the cool of your chest

Just sex.

What about staying up late talking about the candies we love and hate?

Telling me your favorite movie or traveling back to our first date?

See, you showed me this

Love.

Calmed yet excited me for your passion for life and your soft kiss

This was acceptance, growth, positivity and patience

Thank you for showing me that all men aren't suckers and jaded.
