When one least expects
Along comes the soul,
The one who simply loves you
And your human ways.
Limbo.
You have been afraid to even spill milk
Because the world did almost end once;
Unseen bullet holes.
Unseen scars that seeped into bone.
But that was then
And that was them,
This is now
And they are gone.
There is nothing to define
You are
Just be
And let yourself unfold
All you are is already inside
You are made of golden sun
Of scars and dust
You must
You must
Just be
I thought I was so clever.
Taking such care to identify
Any deadly flora before entering
Your garden.
Still,
Enamored by the roses
I endured the bloodlust of
Your thorns.
The scars live in me today.
I
Taste your sorrow.
Damp cheek to cheek.
Warm heart to heart.
Everything is okay here in the
Dark.
We feel each others scars as if a map to the galaxy
Itself.
Us,
High with
Need and awe.
Now glowing in the night
Filling the shadows with envy.
Break the chains.
Let the heat of your desire
To be free
Burn them to ash.
Let the scars remind you from where
You
Came
And
The stars,
Bring to mind
Why you will never
Return
Again.
You came to my door at
Midnight
And with eager hands
Whisked me outside
Under a winter sky.
There
Without a word,
You showed me
How my scars
Have always
Twinkled like stars.
Now
My
Celestial
Designs
Cannot help but shine.
You see me standing tall.
You see me now,
Today.
But you have just arrived
On my journey.
You did not see my path
To this destination
Where I stand at this moment.
There were many I had to leave
Along the way.
The ones I believed
Loved me.
Many I have forgotten
But
Few stay within my heart
Where I will hold them
Safe
Forever.
So you look at me standing tall
But
You make assumptions
Dear.
You were not here in the dark
Days
When upon my hands and knees I did
Crawl.
You have not laid your
Heart eyes upon my
Wounds.
Some minuscule.
Some as deep as canyons. I myself have yet to know their true depths.
The ones,
The scars that drug me here
To this place where I stand tall.
Chole Into Diamonds
