Rhythm

 

Melody, you flow over,

         asking for a dance.

Your caress overwhelms

         disabling these thoughts.

 

Harmony, how you blend,

         welcoming the we.

Persuasion is your power,

         as it disappears difference.

 

Beat, more than pulse,

         personified perfection.

Pushing against the grain,

         alive in every motion.

 

Rhythm, omnipresent,

         appearing as the wind.

Movement you possess,

         captivating all.        

 

Turn off the noise,

be silent for a while.

Listen internally,

as the natural rhythm comes.

Feel.

Be.

I Wish

I Wish

 

I wish I was better,

That I didn’t break so easily.

I wish I was stronger,

That no was my answer.

I wish I was faster,

That I ran without relent.

I wish I was stable,

That people didn’t move me.

I wish I was real,

That I didn’t wear this façade.

I wish I could trust,

That I would be at peace in not knowing.

I wish I was empty,

That the mirror wouldn’t control me.

I wish I would love,

That it would keep me hungry.

I wish I was right,

That I could stand holy.

 

But a wish is just a wish,

Nothing more and that only.
