Pink Tulips 

Pink tulips sitting by the kitchen sink 
Another three on my window sill 
Leafs perked up and fully in bloom
They embrace the sunlight that showers them 
A soft blush tone and fairy pink now fill my space 
An old wine bottle 
Green, emerald green sits atop my desk 
A pink circle box sits on my bookshelf 
Filled with beautiful moments 
They hold the shape of dried flowers 
Perched at the very top, besides some plushes and old cacti 
Dried flowers are not all that they are 
A memory I grasp on to, 
Places my mind travels too 
Dried flowers are all they are now 
Tulips and lilies and roses 
Dried flowers and fragments of memories I hold close 
Dried flowers are all they are now

Learning to love again

A heavy weight, a tight chest 

Seeking an escape, 
Silence, quiet, old truths in my heart 
And a tangled web in mind 

Soft petals and bunny ears 
Butterflies everywhere 
Soft music on replay 

Learning to love again 
Love myself again, 

Unbrushed hair and frizz everywhere
Disorganized, unorganized 
Mind frazzled and hearts tattered 
Learning to love again

unfinished books and pink barbie mugs 
Teary eyes and hesitant smiles 
Pushing everything away,
Longing to connect 

A complex puzzle of contradictions 
Loving myself again. 
Unfinished paintings and messy palettes 
Sketchy sketches and simple mark making 

Recovering 
Relearning, 
Unlearning 
Learning to love again
