I Could Read You In Braille (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

you sent me flowers
for breaking your heart
you hugged me tighter
for blowing it apart
so let's light this spark
strike the match
i adore you
i do
pure and simple
no filters
like wine on my lips
the movement of your hips
drunk on you
i started living
dip my toes into your waters
i'm whole again
free of sin
cleansed
i've been baptized by your love
i adore you
naked and exposed
baby
i cry out for you
sometimes i'm scared of showing my hand
but i remember it's not a game with you
my soldier
armed with weapons
you protect what i treasure the most
and my heart belongs to you
even when i push you away
i'm secretly begging you to stay
i adore you
i love lying next to you
i could do this for eternity
you and me
meant to be
vulnerable
confident
you make me feel
you make it all real
i adore you
lost in your smile
i could read you in braille

  Anxiety is like a flash flood. You’re standing in the most glorious sunshine, unaware of the rain falling high up in the mountains. Far away. You’re going about your day. Trying to stay in your gratitude for the beauty around you. And then..BAM!! Out of seemingly nowhere a rushing torrent sweeps you off of the safety you were standing in. It swells around you. Threatening. Ominous. It rips your peace away like tree roots. Until everything around you becomes a swirling mass of debris. No sight of your safe place. When it dissipates you’re left in the mud. With the muck. In the remains of who you were before it came. You’re left to contemplate the cleanup and the rebuild. What practice can you implement that will keep the flash floods away? Can you form a dam with prayer? Breathing? Yoga? Meditation? Incense? What foundation can you set that will keep you from being swept away again? Each cycle of this is a lesson. With each cycle a new you is born. A version who sifts through the rubb

She Dreams of the Desert

She dreams of the desert  Of its dangerous beauty  The unknown  He dreams of the desert  He knows the safety it holds for him  His long time only friend  She calls to them both  For very specific reasons  Seasons  Of their lives are different  But the desire is the same  The desert is a mermaid  With a sweet siren song  What you make of her  Becomes your fate Once you’ve answered her call

Took A Greyhound Bus To My Love

Image
  Took a Greyhound bus to my love   Waiting for me in Texas In a necklace  Story of a nexus  That grew into love  A love that connects us  Across state lines  Swamp to the desert  One leads to the other  Landscapes fade and change  Wide open range  Leaving plenty of space to fill with love  Daydreams  Of real things  That keep us intertwined  Took a Greyhound bus to my love  So I could dream the whole way  Of the way  She makes me feel  Smiles on my face for real  Green eyes sparkling through the night  Holding my baby tight  Wheels on the road  Turning round and round  Like the feels in my heart  Hitting like a dart  Pulling up on the target  Of my affection  No question  It’s been worth the whole ride
