The truth is my parents never loved me. That's the truth. I didn't experience moments of care, affection, or compassion because their hearts were of stone. The lowest manifestations of life care for their young. That instinct, that movement, did not flow within them. It hurts to come upon this wave of realization. That wave drowns me only because I haven't gone deeper. My parents did not love me because love was absent from their hearts. They, too, never loved. It had nothing to do with me. They, too, were lonely. Desperately lonely. So much so, that they were blind to me, covered in their darkness. Oh, how I pity them. Oh, how I pity us.

The Truth
i do love you. it's just that heaven ain't on our side. but i want to give you all of me. wait.. my english teacher said a but cancels everything i said before. so let me give my demons another try. before i tell you i want to give you all of me.could you tell me again? the part that you do love me. sorry sometimes i need reassurance. keep it real with me. i mean even though sometimes i feel like this body ain't mine. i still need someone to hold on to it. could you tell me again? you know, the part that you do love me.

i am chaos pulsating through the freedom of curved bodies. stimulating waterfalls of consumed boxes. i am the mapper of souls. to creation doorways and bodies of harnessed spirits. i am the will that tells time how to to move to the freedom of your curved bodies.

curved bodies
under cascades of running shower waters i let go of a captive despair. i become broken. peace of mind becomes undone. as i cry the deep cry of a mother being split open. as her womb flowers more life. under shower waters i free tears held in the prison of breathless eyes for the fear of being split open. under waters my soul becomes full in the brokenness of a held despair.

split open
we give thanks for the hands that caressed what she thought were damaged curves. we give thanks for the mouths that remembered to kiss the black holes of her forgotten sun flowers. we give thanks for the eyes that listen without looking. to sounds of numbed pain. and made it okay for her to fall in fields of flooded paddies. i give thanks.

this is an invitation to a peace of mind. i mean a peace of my merciful mind. watch me become undone as I pray under the the lights of sleeping moons. this is an invation to explore the sounds of me. to the soft unraveling of denied pain. trapped in memories of justified love. listen to the rain of my freed mind when he touched my mouth with his heavy hands. and made all my fantasies impossible. this is an invitation to see my shamed stars fade in the night of skies. how I wish I would’ve burned them well. this is an invitation for the voice in your head to rebel against satisfied regrets. an urging to choose burning stars well.

choose well
this is not a dream. but a culmination of words left unsaid. of ghostly spaces between broken bones i mean letters that made me feel whole and real. in the void of words i found my beating heart. i found mother’s womb. oh, this is not a dream. but a culmination of words left unsaid.

broken
her face wets with tears of long forgotten Shadows. they cling to her soft wounds like a chained ancestor. she cries a deep cry. as she releases them from the weight of her dark depths. they dance down the memory of her tears for at last she makes them free.

chained shadows
deep within sacral waters my hand moves without thought. in a trance or sacred dance. she flows to the vibrating sounds of me.
