We're Not So Different

We may be goof balls
but we've got everything going for us, kid
We're not so different
The desert rides us
The heat waves drive us

to keep going,
so the wind can slap and snap us...

back...

It's Hard To Be Vulnerable

When I think of your beauty,

I smile and squeeze my fists

to fight the emotion

~Tina Meeks

Truth...?

Truth may never be told

Tears fall daily,

no matter the color

A compilation of greedy thieves, diseased 

by printed faces they've only seen in dreams

because otherwise, they remain faceless

~Tina Meeks

Troubling Tremors

Where have you gone?

Hoping you don't plan on being invisible, 

because I see you hiding

from yourself in plain site

Tremoring from head to toe

Causing a forgetful mind to become gaslit

Is there anything you know?

There is somewhere you do belong

~Tina Meeks

I Really Believed You Couldn't Hurt Me

Spiraling into my own pages

to lose contact and get lost

It makes me cry to listen to music that I 

hardly understand, but it's

the closest thing to your voice that I know

And I can't touch it, so inhaling

anything possible might help 

to spend time away

Spending the nights away sucks more and more

What else is there to ask for

before crossing the line?

Please don't answer that

The answer might be terrifying 

And here I thought you couldn't hurt me...

~Tina Meeks

What Kind of Night is This?

Dust filled air and lungs

Plunge for the occasion

The night skies have been hiding until now

Object permanence leaves a silhouette 

like vines upon brick walls

Ripped down

One Week Apart

This is all a love story

Tender

Pretending to be solid on the surface

and beyond our binding skin

Instead, solidity is false through substance

and a mindset

By the end of the night, it's a broken heart

Too tender to handle

~Tina Meeks
