BeYourBest (to Jay)

Being better than

You are is

Always frightening being

What you know

To be true

Is even harder

Be your bestest

Self and others

Will recognize be

Anything less and

You’ll be forgotten

Be the oasis

Not the sand

Fear

Sometimes in life

We fight so

Hard against what

We fear that

We miss any

Enjoyment there instead

Turn and face

Your fears because

They’re only in

Your mind and

Not in the

World quiet your

Fears by facing

Them knowing that

Everyone else is

Afraid of you

NotBaubles

How did we

Sneak up on

Each other how

Did this happen

To us friends

We were everything

Was fun and

Then yesterday we

Fought then realized

That we meant

More to each

Other like realizing

That we are

Copper painted gold

And not gold

Painted copper that

We’re really diamonds

And not just

Some sparkly baubles

Attraction

Remember don’t find

Someone attractive in

The hopes of

Loving them love 

Them and you

Will always find

Them irresistibly attractive

SoulLake

The body is

The temple of

The soul but

It’s just a

Vessel a canoe

Which floats upon

The lake that

The soul is

Come swim with

Me abandon your

Boat get naked

And let us

Paddle languidly in

All that the

Other beautifully is
