Indifference is a condemned building
Crumbling to dust inside a heart
Boarded up and abandoned
Left to rot

Indifference
Tag: poetry
Write
Write to free the burdened mind
Write to mourn what's left behind
Write to fill the world with love
Write a prayer for a god above
Write to get you through the night
Write to save a stranger's life
Write to make the world make sense
Write without care for consequence
Write regardless of the words
Write so that your voice is heard
Write to free a soul locked tight
Write with rhyme for pure delight
Write of love or foe or friend
Just write and write then write again

I Was You Yesterday
I was you yesterday
Broken down and broken hearted
Today, I begin my ascent with the dawn
And tomorrow, so can you

Poetry Roulette: 80s Radio
Hello
I hear the secrets that you keep when you're talking in your sleep
Don't stand so close to me
Take these broken wings
I want to live the glamours life
All night long
That's my prerogative
Sweet dreams are made of this
It's a kind of magic
A total eclipse of the heart
Sweet child o' mine
Two of hearts
Livin' on a prayer
Don't stop believin'
That's the power of love
I wanna dance with somebody
Call me
I'm addicted to love
Never gonna give you up
What's love got to do with it
Love is a battlefield
I need a hero
Like a prayer
If it isn't love
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Highway to the danger zone
Do you really want to hurt me
I'm crazy for you
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Time after time
I want to know what love is
Take my breath away

On Being Done
Being done feels like
A dead place in the heart
Where nothing wants to grow
Where the will to try is blighted
And indifference is all that remains

A Love Song for Myself
I will write a love song for myself
A song of hope
A song so free
A song of everything I want to be
I will write a love song for myself
A ballad of returning
A ballad of ascension
A ballad celebrating my redemption
I will write a love song for myself
A tune for forging forward paths
A tune for changing ways
A tune for the coming better days
I will write a love song for myself
A triumphant magnum opus
A symphony of surrender and release
A life-renewing masterpiece

When the Muses Finally Give Up on Me
When the Muses finally give up on me
I pray that my efforts with their
Essence of creation made them proud
To have smiled upon me

How the Wind Came and Changed Everything
My curls dance around my face
As the wind kisses my cheeks rosy
These are the winds of change
Smelling of hope and promise
Action and evolution
The wind sings dreams of change to me
It pulls at my skirts
Kisses goosebumps onto my skin
Willing me to move my feet
Daring me to take a chance
Toward unwritten promise
I toss on my sweater
Pick up my notebook
Tamp down my hat
And walk toward the unknown
Wind cheering at my back
Celebrating the changing of everything

Cup of Kindness
Save a cup of kindness for yourself
No one is more deserving of your love than you

How Poems Are Like Orgasms
Poems begin with desire
Deep and persistent
Feverish and demanding
They demand attention
Needful hungry things
Finicky in how they want to be handled
Not touched by just any words
They must be the RIGHT words
Poems demand intimate connection
Crave it
Require it
They require time to build
A sacred dance between poet and pen
The stimulation of mind and soul
Identification and reflection of the human experience
Poems must touch the most intimate parts of us
Where human and universe converge
Grasping and pulling feelings to the surface
Until the soul explodes in prismatic truths
Leaving the skin erupted in goosebumps
Pupils dilated and breath quickened
The soul's hunger satisfied
Poems demand nothing less
