uncut

b. matisse

1 min read

deeply rooted beyond measure and beyond their understanding

the vines grow deeply in the soil of our undecided family

what we built is what we grew from the seed we sow so fairly

when the wind blows our roots stay grounded in it merrily

we fear the world we live in that cuts us to the ground

tampered with, climbed upon, yet to be cut down...

i am all but a garden

b. matisse

1 min read

it came to me like snails to a garden, ready to consume this epiphany like moment i am so likely drawn to the source behind my bones this ever growing greenery fed with forgiving foliage, patience to reset my scenery the dish i put off til the very moon lit the sky now with joy i leap from bed when mornings slowly rise that pet peeve i so willingly and desperately despised no longer a peeve at al...

at last

b. matisse

1 min read

now a lingering toothache afar but still in sight the first thought after my mid-day nap and the furthest notion when i lye my head down on my silk pillowcase

what a time it was to have a bond so bare and unparalleled never to return but may i find a promise stronger then the now dainty pledge i grasp

a roar away from comfort in your hand i granted you my dire and harrowing nights, with trust ...

to find yourself

b. matisse

find where your very essence feels nourished, like a treasure lifted from beneath the heavy sand where living is thriving in a bush pilots astral plane, where the dreams are lived before they get the chance to become just that, a dream wish upon every star to set sail in the sky, with hope set by the flames churning in your heart be gentle to your reflection in your most dawning frightful hours as...

for better or for worse

to see joy dancing through the dwindling dark is all but a favor, life held in small moments and small-scale spaces too afraid to feel the sun so we put on shades, but what if the sun is here to comfort our restless changing faces

for better or for worse...

i like the quiet

b. matisse

1 min read

and so it got quiet fearful of the tension and the scarce words, i ask you to reassure my heavy spirit you say you like the silence

and so it got quiet you taught me to listen with more then just my ears, that you can say volumes with just an eye you say you like the silence

and so it got quiet but this time a difference, i fell willingly into the empty sounds around me, fulfilled by the qui...

my pens ink softens around this canvas constructed in heaven lines have never felt so smooth colors have never been so bright this canvas makes art more van gogh this canvas is a spellbinding sight

my pens ink softens around this canvas constructed in heaven my pen has never had such a canvas my pen has never found such a pair this canvas was made for my paint brush this canvas is all but a scar...

but what an understatement

i began to tell you how freely your eyes set into your skin how your freckles join like constellations across your noses' bridge i began leaning toward you, reaching my finger under your chin picasso must have sculpted your faultless satin lips i know your mind is ever changing yet always one in the same left in awe as you run outside to dance under the wet and frigid rain how you are better tha...

estranged we have become

b. matisse

estranged we have become once our souls so tied we bonded like the clay i mold and i knead estranged we have become no longer familiar like the very shoes we slip on our feet estranged we have become i could never greet you again not now and surely not later estranged we have become i sometimes forget how easy it was to say hello to a stranger...

waking up

b. matisse

1 min read

asleep i stay ignorant to the objections before my cheeks shivering to the sadness that surrounds my lowest peak feeling as cold as alaska in its isolated winter months to only see a shadow when the sun is rising right above

asleep i stayed but awake i came to be for when i awoke the sadness no longer down by my feet i felt the warmth embrace my shadow with everlasting love and saw the gleaming s...
