“His voice rolls
and humms
so deeply
I feel it like honey on my tongue
my vagina stirs
opens and awakes
I feel each syllable
deeply inside of me
as if the echos of his words
have crawled inside of me
coaxed and asked
kissed until it is wet
ready to take inside
all of this
from a red hot chilli pepper song”
“And I said, ‘I feel so lonely’, and he said ‘Lie down and tell me about it.’”
“I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts but they need constant attention & one day I decided I had better things to do.”

It's therapeutic to begin writing again. Here is a short piece on the hesitation felt when developing as a person. Growing up and standing in your full power is intimidating, and it can be tempting to stay in your comfort zone.
Being connected
In a world disconnected
Is uncomfortable as hell
I'm getting to know myself, just now
Someone I neglected for 25 years
Someone I drowned out with smart phones & Netflix & vibrators & Pinot
She isn't letting me ignore her much anymore
She makes my tummy ache
She makes my hangovers hurt like hell
She throws tantrums until I say
Hi
You
When she's scared, I tell her I'm here
When she's lonely, I tell her she doesn't have to be alone anymore
When she's mad, I validate her feelings
This relationship scares me
I avoid it often
Probably because
It's the most important one I'll ever have
And I'm terrified of how powerful I will become with her by my side
Power means responsibility
And I like my Netflix & wine a lil too much
