Quotes and poetry by jcecchetelli

Every night my dreams bring me back
But really forward
A new life
A new world
But yet the same
Blue eyes
A beautiful life
And a moving train to keep pushing us forward

I feel the nights start to cave in on me again. Laying my head down in bed and the thoughts start to race through my mind. The days start blending together and simple tasks start becoming exhausting. The shower floor becomes a friend when I’m just too tired to stand. The light starts to get darker by the day and the days grow shorter. But the difference now is I won’t let the nights take me. The days will be tracked on a calendar to make sure they don’t blend together. The shower floor is temporary and I’ll make sure to stand up at the end. This time my light won’t dim and if it does, I’ll make sure my night light is on and there are extra batteries nearby. The darkness doesn’t get to drown me. It can surround me but I’m choosing to stay on the surface and that is what will keep me afloat.

My nights have been loud
Screaming at me through a megaphone
Until all I can pay attention to are my thoughts
Loud enough to hear everything I try to push away
Everyday, all day
My dreams have never been more clear
Shattered glass to a full length mirror
My reflection looking through broken pieces
But it’s not my eyes that my gaze reaches

I know that there is more to this Earth
Because of the feeling of familiarity
I felt when I first met you
How comforted I became when you first touched my skin
The screaming of finally when we met for the first time
The sparks our bodies sing when they become one
I know there is more because I feel you even when you’re no where near
I know you even when I think I don’t
And this unconditional familiar love
Is something that earth and humanity
Could never conjure up
This is a love from many lifetimes
A bond tied together at the soul
Here to help grow
Here to heal
But built on throughout
Many lives that this planet may not ever
Get a chance to understand
I know there is more because I know we are more
How beautiful is the feeling of finally
And how safe is feeling together
Even when so far away

I spent a long time pretending
That I don’t care
Pushing away the good
Hiding in the depths of my mind
That sometimes works against me
Instead of for me
Because everything I cared about
Seemed to slowly find a way
To fall apart and fall away
So instead of throwing myself
into the beauty of everything
I chose to hide away
And explore all of the darkness of the world
While running away from the light
I choose light now
I choose to see that caring
Doesn’t always come with pain
That all of the good in my life
Stayed with me
I’ve decided to swim through my hectic mind
And understand myself deep underneath
Instead of ignore the fuel
That ignites the fire I set to myself
It’s time to understand the darkness
So that I no longer run away from light.

There was a moment
Earlier in the day
On that same couch
Your hair was up
The sun outlined your face
And all I could think
Was that you are the most beautiful creation
I have ever seen
In any lifetime
And I couldn’t stop staring
It felt so familiar
Like I was meant to be in that moment
Like I’ve been in that moment 100 times
And I knew my whole life was about to change
And I never wanted to go back
Even though I was petrified to go forward

I was asked today if I miss the West Coast
Because the snow has been falling
The cold brutally pushed into my skin
And the ice lines the driveways
But it took less than a second to say no
Because easy doesn’t always mean better
And the warmth doesn’t take away my need for the cold
And you can’t be reminded of the summers heat
Without witnessing the winter frost lining your windows

Somewhere in the forest of Louisiana- on a notepad

March, 2014

The girl with the broken smile
The smile that’s been through it all
I want her to stay awhile
But my heart is afraid of the fall
It’s the girl that has won ever battle
And continues to put up a fight
It’s her smile that makes my mind rattle
Through the darkness her smiles my light
It’s the girl that has rode through the trials
With light and beauty that continues to shine
For that girl there is no amount of miles
That would keep me from calling her mine
It’s the girl that just radiates beauty
Pretty eyes that show straight to her soul
With those eyes she can see right through me
And that smile that’s taking a tole

Speaking through our restless minds
In 5D through space and time
Lost in translation when pushed through space
Flashback images of each other’s face
Meditation and deep sleep thoughts
Searching for home but still feel lost
Creeping in just to push them back out
A fire burning through the west coast drought
The east coast cold in snow covered land
The in between heat in the desert sand
Earth wasn’t made for connections this strong
Can lessons be learned through separations loud song
One asleep while the other wide awake
Opened my eyes to burn through past life mistakes
They say grass can grow once the fires put out
Water and healing to prevent deserts drought
Rebirth and regrown green grass in ash filled land
Seeds coming through the waterless sand
Fire to earth and old wood to the flame
A bomb to the land to fix what we made
Destruction and chaos to learn how to grow
Growing together if we reap what we sow

The light shined in my eyes this morning
And it reminded me of her
She has always been light
Always warmth
Creeping through my skin
Warming my insides
Reminding me the cold is only temporary
That rainy days won’t last forever
She’s always been light
Shining brightly in my eyes
Blinding me while I try to stay
Between the two white lines of the standard highway
Showing me how to let go of the steering wheel
Long enough to know
I never needed white lines anyway
She has always been the sun to me
A consistent light
Even when hidden behind dark clouds
That seem to stay for far too long
Or when it’s just a little too hot on a summer day
So I stay inside to not be burnt by the flames
She is still the sun
And I’ll always find comfort knowing
She’s there, even when I cannot feel her on my skin
