Effortless [Poem]

Published on February 24, 2026

I love you
No words have ever left my lips
So effortlessly

My hands formed a heart
No gesture has ever been shared
So truthfully

No other words shared
Except those said by hands, hips, and feet
Yours in mine, against mine, with mine.

How strange
To go years getting to know someone
And hesitate

When mere moments
With aligned, raw, overflowing energy
Leaves no fear

How strange
To know that moment was enough
And to walk away

When those three words
That connection; that energy
Is what I went right back to seeking

Maybe leaving it there
Pure… innocent… wholesome…
As effortlessly as it was found

…was the point.

Maybe not looking back
Holding the purity of the moment
Forever in my heart

…is the destination.

The Beautiful Messy [Poem]

Published on February 12, 2026

I tap my screen
While urgency sleeps
Before important clocks in
As busy decompresses
During the void hours
Mostly nights; some days
To nothing; blank
…Maybe a 12:19

I’ll sometimes sigh
Maybe slouch or frown
But never visibly
Never audibly
Not even here
Will I show it
Not even here
Will it hit my ear

Your name glowing
And only your name
Urgently protruding
Importantly colored; bordered
Filling the void
Pointing my mind
Towards entropy
Away from order

I’ll sometimes crave it 
The spontaneity… the drama…
The fiery… the crazy…
The beautiful messy
The epitome
Of the nature
Of the universe
Presented perfectly

In your letters, your glow
My casual touch
Your chaos, your flow
My orderly house
Us merging; the mess
It always ends better
You send a text
And I straighten, smirk…

Though you’d never know it
Because I remember… ghost.

A Blinding Love Will Follow [Poem]

Published on January 24, 2026

Love is blinding
It’s why we smother, cling, obsess
Awareness first
So we can heal, unlearn, relearn
Build a warm nest
One with no bars, traps, or ceilings
Just attraction, yearning, desire to fly back
Direct the love you want so badly inward
Never underestimate the size of an act
Every line written, conversation had, and insight scavenged
Every twig, piece of bark, and leaf neatly intertwined and stacked

Water Lines [Poem]

Published on November 14, 2025

Trust is trust
And cheating is cheating
Until someone you trust cheats
And someone who cheated
Becomes someone you trust

Oh, the ease
Of a life black-and-white
One can only dream
As infinite hues
Storm down, thrash, flood

Tread, paddle, stroke
Head above water
Choose, wait, contemplate
Let the universe decide?

No—blame the rulebook!
Draw lines in the sand
Except you touch only water
The last gone
Before the next is begun

It’s just you
Your experiences reflected on
Your heart and mind
People you want to be like
Your intuition, actions, time

Paint your own picture
Make freakin’ water lines
Build, break, reformulate
Surf, surrender—rise.

I Don’t Know [Poem]

Published on July 29, 2025

I don’t know what the future will say
But I know what the present tells me
And if I have to modify a rule
Or gray a boundary
To avoid certain regret
And risk some drama
To potentially gain… it all?
Then let me just apologize now
To my future self if it doesn’t work out
But what I also want that self to know

…Is that you know I had to know
And I’m going in with clear eyes
For both me… and you.

P.s. Sheesh… first poem in a while. You can read my others here.

All In Flight [Poem]

Published on September 6, 2024

I can’t help
But look away
And turn completely
After looking directly
At light so bright

I can’t help
But bounce back
And stumble clumsily
After two-stepping into beauty
That radiates depth in spite

Even as I fight
I’m just not ready
To soul gaze with infinity
To rhythmically move
Open my heart
And forget the better in sight

Until I lock into you
It takes everything I’ve got
I bear the brightness
Withstand the inner storm
Your forcefield now a black hole
We couldn’t have been more tight

I’m captivated later
By the image of dancing feet
Nothing I felt up there
Existed down here
Where all seemed equal
Just one interrelated energy

—All in flight.

Handlebars [Poem]

Published on June 18, 2024

You let go of your handlebars
As if to relinquish control
back to the universe

You stretched your arms
Straightened your spine
Softened your shoulders
And let your body free

Your arms waved in rhythm
Your head rocked side to side
Your face relaxed completely
And nothing else mattered

Not the pain of peddling
Not the hundreds of eyes
Not the torturous sight of inclines
…None of what filled my mind

And you—in but a snapshot moment
Took on a higher form
Embodied a radiance via surrender
That the grind in me couldn’t understand

Until I tried it—until I surrendered
And remembered what it was like—
Yes, remembered once again
How to actually live in the here.
