why does the body cry?
i mean—
every other bodily function seems to serve
some kind of purpose
biologically speaking
but what then is the purpose of a saline solution
being expelled from the eyes
other than the physical expression of human emotion?

Gooseflesh

it is the flush in your face
the salt in your skin
the warmth in your breath
the tickle along your arms
as every hair stands on end

it’s the chill in the air disappearing
it’s the freedom to just be
when mine is not mine anymore
and I don’t even mind anymore

Faint Of Heart

that feeling
the first sip of alcohol’s journey down
the warmth spidering out into your belly

Innate

I scowl much more than I used to now,
But I smile a lot more, too.
I say what I feel more often,
I question what I once knew.
I don’t let myself believe too much
without having all the facts.
No more second guesses,
No more going back.
I guess that what I know now
doesn’t change my past
I guess that I’m just wiser
stronger
growing now
at last.
