You keep your little secrets
Locked up tight.
Neat and tidy
In
A
Crevasse deep inside.
Oh
But darling,
I’m afraid they have
Started
To leak from your
Heart.
You keep your little secrets
Locked up tight.
Neat and tidy
In
A
Crevasse deep inside.
Oh
But darling,
I’m afraid they have
Started
To leak from your
Heart.
I want to melt.
I want to slip between the cracks.
I desire to be held and let all my walls
Down.
To be completely and utterly
Vulnerable.
Naked.
But I can’t.
I’m too bent.
I’m too damaged.
It’s too late
And I’m too tired.
These bruises won’t go away.
No matter how hard I scrub,
The bleach won’t clear away the stains.
The glue won’t hold the cracks together.
My strength is just a hoax I’ve planted in my brain
Which my heart can no longer
Sustain.
Love,
Breathe
And be.
Open your heart.
Open your mind.
Open your eyes.
Drop the definitions.
Knock down the fences.
Obliterate the walls.
You are in your own way.
You have constrained your mind,
Your heart.
And wrapped yourself
So tight in definitions,
You cannot breathe.
This barricade you have built
Has left you with nowhere to go and
Nothing new to see.
Now,
You have limited your own vision.
I
Caught you
Fixing your smile
While your heart was in denial
Of how you truly felt.
In silent corners
I am resuscitated.
The closeness of the walls
Has
Become my safety.
Sunlight filters through dust particles,
Trying to reach me.
I can still feel the heat
On my skin,
Yet it is only my heart
That is scorched.
And now I lie naked.
Naked in the earth.
Everything I have carried
In me,
Stripped from
My heart
And
Removed from my soul.
Washed clean.
And I feel the wind.
I breathe the air.
I taste the dirt on my lips.
I am settled in my skin.
Renewed.
The time has come to
Arise and set my feet gently on the path before me.
Let this new journey
Begin.
Gypsy heart.
Soul afire.
She reaches the stars
But longs to go higher.
There is lightening in her touch
And
Thunder in her eyes.
If you choose to stay down here,
You can simply watch her.
She is not hard to identify
Dancing up there in the sky.
Just know that
You will be left waiting.
She will forget who you were if you
Do not
Join her in the company of the stars.
She stood in the doorway
With her back to the sun
Knowing this was
The last
Time
She would see him.
And her heart filled with
Sorrow
Though her soul
Was at peace.
And her eyes filled with tears.
They fell to the floor
As she stood in the door
With her back to the sun.
She had nothing left
To prove.
Nothing left to hold.
Only the truth she would carry as
She turned and walked away.
Looking forward
For the first time
She could remember
To the light of a new day.
Never again would she turn her back to the sun.
Did you feel that?
Did you feel it too?
The way my heart settled
Right
Into you?
They way you breathed in
Your first breath
As my body melted into yours?
The wondorous vibration of life
As we held each other
Tight?
I know you felt
The way our souls danced within all the hidden
Spaces of
Infinity
All through the night.
Like an ocean wave you
Washed over my heart
Cleansing away past self doubts.
Wiping away the hurt and the pain
Burying
The luggage from yesterday
In the sand.
And now
As I stand here,
My heart beating anew,
I feel a freedom I never knew
All from immersing my heart
In the ocean of you.
