We Are Soaring
My mind wanders My heart it soars A new Love is forming This passion it roars Deep in the Forest Our spirits they roam I look to your eyes And feel I’ve found home You look at me kindly Touch me with love My prayers they have found me Blessed from above Traveling slowly Never too fast Our timeline is forming A new love to last And we’re soaring Soaring so high We are soaring Together we fly We are soaring Right here in this time We are soaring And finding out

Thaw My Heart
You’re my green valley of comfort, You are my parched desert of desire. As I dream of what once was, This passion takes me higher. I envision what may one day become As I smile and play my drum. I’m overwhelmed with emotion, I’m learning the true test of devotion. THAW MY HEART In the passion of your love. Trust this start With your guidance from above. Set sail! Depart! On sails to unknown lands, To thaw my heart, To fulfill God’s plan. I’ve set sail. In fact, I’ve shared to

Brother Become a Lover
I knew you long before I met you. You’re a familiar vibe, Like the men who set the altar, Devoted to the Divine. A humble saint and servant, Living life beyond pure need. I met the best that lives in you It also lives in me. And I know you’re coming. You’re coming to set me free, To hold my hand and take a stand, To show the world the worth in me. You’ll find me living quietly, In sight for all to see. When it’s time, I know you’ll come humbly To sweep me off my feet. Are you

The Beautiful Story Never Told
Welcome to the archive.Welcome to the stories.Welcome to the becoming.
For years, I kept these stories to myself—notes, poems, memories, questions, and truths written in moments of love, fear, grief, awakening, and becoming. Tonight, I’m opening the archive. Every two hours, beginning at midnight, I’ll share a piece of the journey. Not to expose anyone, but to tell the truth as I experienced it. My hope is that somewhere in these words, you feel less alone, more seen, and more willing to choose yourself.
If I Am Wrong - September 7, 2024
I am living. And yet, somewhere inside me, I am still asking whether I am living correctly. I have spent years exploring spirituality, ceremony, altered states, intuition, archetypes, fasting, yoga, sobriety, prayer, service, and the edges of my own consciousness. At times I have tried to understand my behavior through spiritual identities and traditions that describe disruption, contradiction, sacred humor, mirroring, and transformation. But I have also had to confront somet

A Letter on Reciprocity, Boundaries, and Repair - August 14, 2024
EAGLE WOMAN, I’ve been having a difficult time over the last few weeks learning how to honor my boundaries while still showing up in service. I know that much of what I did to support you came from love, but I also recognize that I entered the experience without fully understanding what would be expected of me, and I kept saying yes long after parts of me were asking for rest, clarity, and reciprocity. At the beginning, I enjoyed the roles we fell into. I felt capable of show

How Does It Feel to Call the Shots?
On nights like these, you were the one I reached for. When fear moved through me and my legs began to shake, it was your presence that reminded my body how to stay. There was a time when your arms felt like shelter, when separation still seemed impossible because love had made us believe we could survive anything. Then the tower fell. And somehow, in the collapse, everything good about me became harder to remember. The years I spent fighting for my mental health, learning how

My Softest Hue of Blue
My softest hue of blue Your hottest shade of red Dancing through the garden, Removing what is dead. Burning away the old, Watering what is new, Green surrounds my heart, And now it beats for you. Grounding roots into the earth, Flowering to the sky, Washing our hands clean, Our spirits will never die. A story carved in stone, Protected by the trees, Your waters healed my spirit While my fire set yours free. You are the sparkle in my eye, A goodnight lullaby. You are the stars

What is for me
I’m not the medicine that you want, But I’m the medicine that you need. In the shadows that you hide, I hope my light you’ll see. Good-hearted and ever charming, Worth all my heart and more. What we surrender to the fire Ensures we will be reborn. Sails filled with faith, Eyes full of stars. I showed you my Venus While you showed me your Mars. With force, all can be taken, Yet what happens with a gentle roar? Even in the darkest storm, My faith remains restored. What is for m

A Blessing in Disguise
A blessing in disguise Who doesn’t know what they are, Like a sunny day rainbow Or a goodnight shooting star. To shine means to be, And you illuminate my sky. You started out questioning, And now you know why. You found a peace in me You didn’t expect to find. It’s okay when it isn’t gay, But when I’m gay, you are less kind. So I tow the line Of who to be. Go port, go starboard, You’re sending me out to sea. Your winds are in my sails, And your coordinates point to me. I’m sp

The Voices That Changed Me
Slice me open and watch me bleed It’s for your own good they are telling me You were numb before but now you’re freed Ripping and prying, you’re hurting me I listen to the voices that are haunting me They’re making me my problem ever endlessly Cutting at my corners, rearranging me I’ll always be a slave to your memory Reasons i am running free Are the voices haunting me Earth beneath my shaking feet Walking on my path, trusting in me Amidst the unknown, i kneel to pray Asking

Cause you can make me move my hips Have me praying for it all night long You could be the sacred tune That’s becoming my favorite song I can see it in the way you move I can see it in the way you smile We hadn’t noticed yet We hadn’t seen freedom in a while Lay with me Oh won’t you play with me Oh won’t you come with me Into the night Stay with me Oh won’t you pray with me Oh won’t you shine with me Within this light Because you made me move my hips And i prayed for you all d

Falling for a Friend
A hot ride through the desert A cold night in your bed Arms wrapped around me Secrets never said A desire to take you higher While resting in your heart I thought about forever As we laid there in the dark Is this how we’re falling? Am i falling for a friend Is this that new beginning That I’ve been calling in And i ask myself Am i falling again And i tell myself yes I am falling for a friend Your eyes told me softly What true love might be Expressing our boundaries These tem

Not Your King
They heard me yell, ignored my call. My hand to take, they watched me fall. They watched me break, they saw me bruised. My heart to save, and my love to lose. Their smirks so smug, I asked to stay. They laughed at me, then said, “Go away.” Demons dance while angels sing. It’s okay to run they’re not your king. I took my chance, I took them all. And now it’s time to watch me crawl. You saw me break, yet no longer bruised. I was afraid to win until I had to lose. Faith built
