Blow

 Kisses, eyelashes, wishes. 

Who knows

 "You know nothing", said the 50 year old to the 25 year old.

"No, YOU know nothing", said the 80 year old.

Space

 He is there in the space between my words. 

He's there in the gap between the lines. 

He's hidden in the length of a 'l' and the curve of an 'e'.

He's ink, emotion, paper and poetry. 

Thrive

 The aim is to grow, trail, hold on, enhance beauty, make a presence, be noticed, thrive, survive, shed, and begin again. 

Noise

 Did they stand by you on your moonless night, and the next day when your Sun didn't rise?

Did they hear your cries in your silence and the noise in your head?

Left

 I'm sorry, but when you tell me to stop, I need to tell you that - I can't. 

My insecurities play on my mind. I don't feel I'm adequate enough. I don't know if you really want this?

I want to hold onto us and believe in the truth of it, but I can't. I want to feel secure in your love, but I don't. 

I'm not sure why I take the path of self destruction. I'm not sure why I let my mind do this to me. 

But please know this, that anything I ever loved, left. No matter how deeply I adored it, it left. 

And I love you but I'm scared you'll leave too. 

Now

 We don't have forever but what we do have is now. 

Be here, be present.

Be alive and mindful.
