At Midnight
She was tossing
Confetti
in the air.
She was the drunk girl
sobbing
On the park bench.
Alone.
She was the solitaire
Shadow
Stumbling home
In the dark,
In her heels.
The glitter in her hair
Shimmering
By the light of the street lamp.
Her body over overcome
With sorrow.
She was the girl climbing through
The 2nd story window
Because the keys were forgot
And the doors were locked
She was the girl
tending her heart
Because although
It’s the beginning of
The New Year
And blessings abound
Ahead
She had lost
More than one
Sweet
Love
To the
Heavens
This last year
Round.
She took
A slow shaky
Breath.
She
Let the
Knowing
Settle in her heart.
The balance.
The living
The loving
The winning
The losing.
It all means she
Is still
Alive.

You Lent Me

Posted on by

You lent me the beat of your heart

When I had forgotten how to make

My own.

You lent me your wings and offered strength

Until I could fly

Alone.

You brought light into my shadows

And I learned to love through the night.

You heard the sadness in my tears

And gave me love with all your might.

You played back to me my own melody

I had silenced so long ago.

And showed me where the world was.

I held it in my heart but did not know.

Inside Out

Posted on by

This fire that burns inside.

This fluid that seeps from my veins.

This howling within my soul.

This nameless passion remains.

These thoughts, these words,

These emotions.

Scorching me from the inside out.

I pour them into the ink

Where they lie lifeless,

Smudged and soiled.

Cold

And motionless.

Emotionless.

Mocking me without a sound.

Ridiculing me

Without a

Doubt.

Clamouring and raging

To get out.

Every word

Battling ferociously

To get to the top

So as not to be

Forgotten.

The Tears

Posted on by

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.
