“Scissors & lace. Leather & grace”

i have stories to spill,
over tarnished tables
and curled under covers.
harmless half whispers
and buried brutal thorns.
They mean everything
and nothing at all.

I am strong it took the breaking to discover how strong I was.

I am strong

Words from the large godtongue,
wouldn't, couldn't let me go free,
as the dark delusions undrunk,
held down the scars in my mouth.

my mending
made sense
to me.

I have an appointment with love, every fucking sunrise.
Because inside my crooked ribcage, between my tired lungs
is the screaming author of my being, my why, my meaning.
And I own that tender muscle, that pumps a river into my soul.
And I promise myself and my ashes, to use it every fucking day.

all the pieces complete my soul.

Are we just dancing
around the edge
of an empty cup…?

To deny the suffering is to reject the grace.

my father taught me.
his father taught him.
his father taught him.
his father taught him.
men need to mend.

“The Path”
to ascend above
where we were,
is never straight,
often hard as steel
and always precarious,
but so worth the climb.
Live fierce, love fierce.

off the edge of what was,
between the floating and the falling,
and I finally hear my own voice,
clearly…with permission to listen.

The broken cup can’t hold tears.
what breaks it, won’t hold it together…
I’ve tried to pretend I was strong,
spent decades confused and lost and silent.
Even tried to cover the pain by being an asshole.
but all along, I’m just a little boy inside.
All I ever wanted, was to be loved.

Kintsugi (金継ぎ), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with precious metal....

in a world of hate & fear
LOVE ANYWAY
