Our minds,
Our hearts
Cannot yield.
We cannot stop.
For even as we slumber
We are writing
The next line.
Our minds,
Our hearts
Cannot yield.
We cannot stop.
For even as we slumber
We are writing
The next line.
You are afraid of the way she leaves you
Reeling.
She can feel you.
See more than your skin.
Parts of you not one single heart has
Seen.
Or held.
No questions
Or explanations.
Just being.
You move to her without resistance
For there is none left,
Not even in your darkest parts.
The voices have hushed.
She has penetrated and annihilated the threat
For she is audacious.
Reached into them with her unspoken light
And held each one to her soul.
Singing them to sleep
Without destroying herself.
Now look.
Without fear there is only
Love.
I disappear.
Sometimes for days.
Sometimes for weeks.
It is a silent departure
Unnoticed but by me.
For it is a part of me you cannot see.
My heart.
This heart takes leave of my
Mind
For they struggle so
To agree
And sometimes one just has to go.
I feel you fumbling with my heart
When you think
I am not looking.
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.
No one has really ever known her.
Seen her.
It is because she seldom speaks up.
She is so tired of
Trying to be heard above the noise.
She does not share her stories anymore
So others just see her smile.
They feel her hugs.
They think she is the quiet girl,
The frail one
Because she is kind.
She is learning that she does not have to explain to anyone.
She used to try but her lips stop her now.
And her heart.
Someday she will meet someone who truly sees her.
Until then she sees herself and that is enough.
You think
The mind
The heart
And the soul
All speak different languages
And so in confusion you abide.
They do not.
Simply
Listen.
The heart hopes.
The heart searches.
The mind reasons.
The mind doubts.
The soul knows.
The soul knows.
Oh my love.
Come to me at once.
Let me wrap these arms around
Your tired,
Weary heart.
Settle yourself
Softly
Into
My
Love.
Here we will
Replenish that which life has
Emptied.
Heart of my heartbeat
Eyes that see my soul.
Your flames consume the noise.
