2/2
...to become my own light, again.
It's still a work in progress, but I'm beginning to find home in me - not in a sense of returning, but rather in a sense of becoming.

I remember the last time we met. It is a world away, now. Our last words have not been spoken in peace. Not on your end, anyway. The bleak house of toxic family patterns became your fortress.
Love is an anchor, they say. But my love did not save you. Perhaps, love rather is an acre, and we are the gardeners.
I hope, you rest peacefully, now.
Love.

On the desk in the bleak house, penned reveries, a world away, and long forgotten. Vines embrace the walls, are reaching in through the windows, to keep it all safely locked in Nature's perfection.

Some see in anticipation
Its own sin
I don't
Nor do I attach
To any outcomes
I love whom I love
Going solo
Romance is a bonus book
There is no need
I'm ready to receive

All The Trimmings
All the trimmings spread
over walls, and windows
I'm coming up for air
Apart we languish
though they glow
like fragments of nebulae
for me to find them.
Untold stories press
against my bruised heart
attempting
one more time
to break it
open
When my love blooms
all the tiny sparks
rejoin to one nova
...

Contrition becomes her as indoctrination intrudes a child's innocent heart. No blazing fire, but festering gleam, slowly breaking down substance.
One morning in the burned house, she allows what's meant to dream to rise, and realises: The sky leaves room for one more.
Cherry blossoms after Winter gently open like her shattered heart. Rippling through...
1/2
When the weather is fine you come over to hang out with me, basking in the warm sunlight. It keeps me wondering:
Will we ever stand through a storm and dance in the rain?
You let the question loiter with intent. But I don't need to be tricked into mastering memory. I'll just, though with compassion, close the door, next time the sun is out.

I didn't write this to upset anybody. It should be known by now that in hurting others, we only hurt ourselves. Alas, the smoke in the mirror obscures the view, and distorts the shadows. Another scarlet blade sheathed, they say to just be yourself. Yet, they never walk their talk.

They earnestly say it is easy to be the favoured child, when you are the only one.
They will never know the relevance of tackling the load of a family handed down through generations all alone.

Life is poetry in motion, but sometimes its lyrics are dark. A melody devoured, welcomed by the depth of the silence after the detonation. Until, in that nuclear Winter, the wind blows away all warmth.
And still I rise.
