my heart out of my hands

my heart out of my hands

Waiting in the wings

Sleeping, caught up in dreams that spiraled out

I’ve been taken in and taken under

Too many times

I inverted, watching beneath a veil of crushed velvet

Standing in shadow, the play of light a lace gown

A child bride, discarded

Disconnected, a desert gypsy

Until the ocean, swollen beneath the sky

Until you, with no regard for the rules

Brought out the best in me

And welcomed the worst

Unknowingly unwound me,

Lifting the shroud of lost affections

Standing in the sun, drenched in sweet sensation

Connected, two west coast kids

Caught up in dreams come true

Listening to The Cardigans and The Civil Wars and felt inspired to write some poetry.

Still recovering from Comic Con and having a relatively lazy day. Louie and I have been napping/chilling on the couch enjoying our Monday. Has anyone heard that song 'Holiday From Real' by Jack's Mannequin? It's about California-LA specifically-in the summer, and how every day should be a 'holiday from real.' Anyway, that's how today has felt haha in the best possible way!

Have a magnificent Monday!

XOXO
