Vampires

Posted on by

My momma told me

Vampires were real

So every night i would make sure the curtains

On the window above my bed covered the window completely,

Not a centimeter uncovered in case

A Vampire should choose to hover above me.

I would then crawl in bed

And get snug under the blankets

Placing my cross necklace on my neck over my nightie so any Vampire would be

Afraid to approach.

And I would stay still

And I would not breathe until exhaustion took over.

All those years I filled my head with the terror of make believe

When reality was worse.

Distraction.

Blank

And her mind,

It goes blank

Before you can blink.

She is smiling

All the while hating herself.

And they keep talking

And talking

And she keeps laughing.

And she excuses herself to the bathroom

Where

She stares in the mirror

Wondering if she is really here.

Why all this noise?

Just noise

Coming from mouths who don’t care

What a heart beat is.

This air;

The air that leaves her lungs

As she whispers your name,

As you press against her

And hold her steady.

As you take her where she needs to go

Without hesitation.

We sit in the quiet and

Hear the stars resonate

In our very bones.

It’s all ok.

Breathe in unison.

You don’t even need to say

It is all okay.

Matters

Posted on by

There are soul matters at work here

You do not yet

Comprehend.

Have faith.

Welcome peace within and without

As you breathe,

With every thought

And each step.

Wonder awaits your discovery.

Love is only bound by the restrictions you believe and create.

It is up to you how

To proceed and when you

Wish to take responsibility for

Your own

Mind and heart.

Drawn

I see your chest rise,

An intake of breath as our eyes meet.

Drawn together

Instinctively before we can blink in recognition.

And the blood courses through my veins,

I can feel yours doing the same.

This quaking within;

An

Electrifying surge created resonates

Beyond people and places known as these Bodies come together.

Magic.

A supreme stillness overcomes my soul

And settles the melding.

We cannot stop what was set in motion

Before time itself

Nor

Do we wish to.

Atoms and Cells

Posted on by

There is this burning in my belly,

This aching in my breast.

I struggle to keep my heart contained

Within my chest.

It is just the thought of you,

For you are not even near.

It’s just my atoms

And cells

Retain

The body of you.

Come home.

My heart will not stay still much longer

For

It is not where it belongs.

It’s just

What I must endure

While I am

Imagining

You here.

I am

Aching and breathing.

I am

Aching and dreaming.
