The Light Within

the light within me
is the light within you
a spark, then a flame
that burns eternal
a sacred ember
that connects us as one

Ode to Sappho
04:08
|

|
I observe Beauty from afar;
Her glowing skin
Her dark eyes
Her parted lips-
an insatiable,
delicious misery
seeps into my blood-
Her lilting voice
draws me near
until Her divine, saccharine scent
constricts my lungs, and-
I gasp-
sealing my fate as
Her Elysian gaze meets mine-
my heart shrieks
my eyes go dark
and I succumb to death.

A Piece of Me
04:44
|
|||
|
when you left
you took a piece of me
without my consent
stealing me
robbing me
of myself
leaving me
incomplete
why did you take her from me
when she was mine?
i spent twenty years
searching for her
calling out to her
when finally i found her
in the mirror
she smiled at me
my piece
and said
i am always with you

There Is Nothing

Where we once sat
on your porch swing
counting the seconds between thunder
talking to each other about all the little things
Where we once stood
in your kitchen
baking cookies for the holidays
laughing at the flour on faces
Where we once walked
through the woods
behind your backyard every summer
going on adventures to nowhere in particular
Where I now sit
in silence
in a room that was once so loud
Where I now stand
staring blankly
at a house that was once full of love
Where I now walk
alone
in a world that once had you
There is nothing

Unconditionally

i say, “i want to be happy”
i say, “i want to be whole”
i say, “i want to be loved”
i say, “i want to feel”
i say, “i want to grow”
i say, “i want to love”
i say, “i want joy”
i say, “i want peace”
i say, “i want connection”
she answers, “love yourself unconditionally”
