The tears.
I am my own comfort.
There is solace in the silence.
In the dark.
It is there that I lay
The ache bare.
Defenseless.
Solitaire.
My agony.
And when the bottomless torment
(Which has no name)
subsides,
I will wrap it up tight
And tuck it away.
Not to come out again until
It is too heavy and thorny
To carry in the quiet.
To love,
There is no known
Depth.
Not a single mind can perceive
A measurement of love.
Love is just that.
Love.
It cannot be weighed
Or laid out and measured
From end to end.
Yet the weight of its absence
Can bring a soul
To their
Knees.
Turn your heart to the sun.
Turn your tears into light.
We all live for the day.
We all stumble through the night.
You may believe you are alone,
But if you turn off the noise
And listen very close,
You will hear
Millions of other
Hearbeats
Searching for
Home.
Today is a day
Of battling demons.
They wait quietly
For the opportune moment.
The moment my guard is down
And my heart is open.
They,
With their steely
Black appendages.
Slowly creeping undetected.
Slithering
Into dark spaces.
With one abrupt move
They wrap their thorny tendrils
Around my heart.
My mind.
My spirit.
And drag me down into
Unfathomable depths.
The voices outnumbering me.
Outwitting me,
Until I become the silent one.
Choking on their insanity.
Reach in and tear out my guts.
Spew the depths of me onto the page.
I am bleeding
Past and present hurts,
Dreams
And joys.
All into
Mere
Words.
If only you knew
That each crack in my heart
Is truly a
Treacherous path
To my soul.
It does not matter how you find your way into the light.
Crawl
Tiptoe
Leap
Walk
Dance
Just do it.
You touch me
And I hold my breath
Not wanting to make a sound.
Your eyes hold me.
They keep me up.
I find I’m floating
Above the ground.
Your soul whispers
“Come out and Play.”
In response
I cannot stay.
I am found.
Your heart plays a melody.
I find myself dancing
To a song that has been silent
An eternity
It seems.
Your lips speak my name.
In response
I will never be the same.
I am whole.
We are all of the same heart.
Attached to the same thread.
All souls swaying to the same rhythm;
The song of the Universe.
The moon,
The sun,
The stars
And the earth.
Forever pushing and pulling
With unyielding passion.
Never releasing.
Always embracing
One Another.
We are the
Thread.
Into my darkness to find me
You came,
Somehow knowing
My soul
By name.
