A collection of poems written from the different perspectives of characters I've created along with poems from my point of view.
My heart lays in june // Willow
If I were anything but myself I'd be the many summer days of the year.
I see myself in the kids swimming, laughing, and dancing at the lake.
I am the sense of freedom you have knowing there's nothing on today's to-do list.
I belong to the shelves of the thrift store, as I reside in them as a locket you can't help but take home.
My soul is the conversation you have on a walk in the woods filled with smiles and snickers.
I am the early mornings and nights you spend alone listening to the sounds of your lively music.
My heart is in the moments you spend with those you hope never leave your bedroom.
I am the tie dye shirts and crystal necklaces you wear when the sun shines brightly.
My spirit is in the painting of the moon that's been with you through every move and relocation.
My character lies at the beach in the seashells and sand between your toes.
A few of my favorite things // Willow
I love tarot cards,
As the bridge the gap between myself and the person in front of me,
We can talk of the things that seemed unable to approach before the deck was out,
They give me a light to highlight today's mistakes and golden moments.
I love coffee shops,
As the spirit of the cafe is unlike any other,
I can listen the sounds of brewing lattes and write in my notebooks,
I am able to enjoy the company of myself and whoever wishes to come along.
I love thrift store,
As I can find my next art project or monday morning outfit,
I walk through the isles listening to my music and thinking about what may come from this trip.
I love rivers,
as the soft hum of the crashing water brings peace to my mind,
I watch as the current eves and flows under the hot sun.
I love forest,
As there is no quiet quite like the it,
It gives me time to reflect and enjoy the moments in between.
I love late nights,
As there is no freedom like a house full of no one awake but you,
I think many thoughts and draw pictures of mushrooms and flowers.
I love creating art,
As nothing soothes my soul as making my pain into something I love to see,
I enjoy the notes coming from my canvas and wet paint brush.
I love writing,
As it serves as both a release and escape,
Poetry has watched me grow into the person I am.
Who I am today // Elliot
I am a journal you write all your notes in,
As I am filled with new thoughts and memories in each passing day.
I am a leaf growing on an oak tree,
As I hope that my experience of the sun helps the collective.
I am a necklace you've had for as long as you can remember,
As I am a witness to the passage of time.
I am a book you reread every few years,
As I change in the way I walk through your thoughts but my message stays the same.
I am a day spent in the woods,
As I hope to spark joy in all those who travel through my many dirt paths.
I am a sweet peach,
As I grew from the trees and experienced a long journey to arrive where I am today.
