Internally

Posted on by

I hold internally
These monsters
That scratch and tear
At my insides.
I have held them tight
In hopes of their suffocation.
Now I hemorrhage instead.
I believed these things were holding me Prisoner.
Keeping me in the dark.
Obscuring my sight.
When it is
I
Who keep them.
Afraid to be alone.
Afraid to be free.
For there have been times
They have escaped me;
I beckoned them return.
Now my strength grows weary
And my body is strained
In holding them.
My eyes tire so in this self imposed darkness,
My skin left longing for the soft caress of

Light.
This unhappiness I wear
From time to time makes me forget
All that is well.
And these monsters,
They wish to be free
From
Me.

Take In

Posted on by

Come my love
Soften your skin onto mine.
Let go all barriers.
Let go all doubt.
Let go the veil that hides
Your heart.
Your eyes.
And allow yourself
Contentment.
Allow yourself this moment.
Let your hands wander.
Eyes open to see.
Feel it seep away;
The fear.
Come my love
Indulge your wanting.
Feel again in you
That which has been hollow,
That which has been longing.
And
Together let us
Take in love.

Without Fear

Posted on by

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.

In The Summer

Posted on by

In the summer

We were free.

Life’s waves crashed

At our feet.

I could hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

Above the wind,

Above the rush.

I could hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

As we ran until we were

Breathless.

As our salty lips brushed

And our

Hair tangled.

As we fell to the shore

Spent.

Still.

Loved.

Tell me

Sweet soul,

Are you still loved?

Even now I feel your

Heartbeat

On my skin.

Even now I hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

Fences

Posted on by

There are those

Afraid

Of their own loneliness.

Who cannot recognize themselves

In

The looking glass.

They will build fences around you

To keep you near

And safe.

To keep

Warmth of skin close

Not of their own.

Easily

Reachable.

Be aware,

For in time

You might lose sight

Of those fences

And believe

You are

Free.
