Golden Tears

Golden Tears

My heart bleeds

For thee

Logic concedes

To a stormy emotional sea

Waves of sorrow and passion

Clash in

My head

Till I begin to shed

Golden tears

Morning Runs

Morning Runs

The inky black darkness

Is pierced by the white light

Of the bloated full moon

The morning crisp

Frigid air freezes lungs

Sidewalks icy

The stillness is broken

By pounding feet

And panting breath

Early morning runs are invigorating

Especially on a cold

Winter day

Snow

Snow

Slipping & sliding

Nightmarish navigation

Obscured optics

Winter wasteland

Joy

Joy

The joy starts

In the ethereal awareness

Cupped in my hands

From a small seed

The joy grows

Until like a flower

Pushing out of the ground

The joy erupts out the ether

Radiating outward

Spreading peace, light and joy

To everyone

Pink or Blue

Pink or Blue

Pink or blue

Which color is for you?

Society says blue is for men

And pink is feminine

Why is it like this?

Pastel colors are the bomb

Pure bliss

Good at keeping one calm

So I don’t care

What you think

I will wear

Blue or pink

And I will not shrink

From the ballyhoo

Because I think

Different than you
