All my life
I’ve wished
And hoped
Waited
And prayed
For a love
So true, to
Come to me
But yet
Somehow
More love
Than I could
Ever
Wish for, hope for
Pray for was
Sitting there
All along
Purring away
Contentedly
In my lap
Though I was too
Blind
To see it
Until it was
Gone

Maybe I just
Don’t want to
Remember
The light in your
Eyes
The quirk of your
Smile
The soft, rolling
Lilt
Of your voice
Maybe it’s better
This way
To forget
Let it fade
Like ink on paper
Worn with time
Illegible
And decayed
Maybe I’ll let myself
Float on away
Gentle and drifting
Far from those
Thoughts
Those old aging
Dreams
Withered and worn
At the edges
Maybe someday
I will find
Somewhat strangely
That all of those
Feelings
That once were so
Vibrant
Have lost all their
Color, their light
Once so shining
While all that is
Left
Of this once so true
Love
Are the dust covered
Maybes, now
Locked in a box
Tucked away in the
Darkest of corners
Deep down in my
Heart

The truth is,
Even if he feels
The same
As I feel
For him
This is his
Choice
To make
And all the
Feelings
In the world
Can’t change
His decision

I try not to
Can’t help it
My eyes are drawn
Like magnets
To yours
Do you see me?
Were you watching?
No
You look away
Speaking to someone
I drag my eyes down
Shuffling papers
Before me
But then
Looking up
I catch it
A look
A smile, soft and sweet
Your eyes
Warm and gentle
You turn your face
Away
But your lips
Still curve
Your cheeks tinged pink
Were you looking
At me?
In your eyes
Did I see
Could that possibly be
Your love?

I sometimes wish
The earth was
Flat
So that I could
Walk
Straight to the edge
Then jump off
Would gravity
Pull me back?
Or let me
Float?
If it’s anything like my
Heart
It will not allow
My feet
Ever to leave
The ground

My words, they rise
From deepest soil
From pathways strewn
With rock and fire
My words, they fly
On shifting winds
Through tempests born
Of breath and sky
My words, they float
On gentle waves
Through waters deep
They dive below
My words, they ring
With songs of joy
With sunlight dancing
On their wing
My words, they creep
Like rolling fog
In whispers soft
Their secrets sleep
My words, they grow
From jagged heart
With softened edge
They bloom in snow
My words, they reach
A hand toward you
My heart, they hold
My truth, they speak

As you let go of
My hand
I felt myself
Fall
Dropping, tumbling
Through the air
Reaching out, grasping at
Hands, but
Each one, again and
Again
Let me go
At times I found
Something
To hold onto
And I held, and
Held
With all my might
Hoping,
Praying it would
Lift me up, but
At last
My arms grew so
Weary, I could
No longer
Hold on
Freefalling
Soaring
Arms outstretched
Until
One day, I
Realized
I was no longer
Falling, but
Flying

My heart became
So full,
I could no longer
Carry it
On my own, but
When I asked
For your help,
You turned away.
So I set it down, and
Unburdened, walked on alone.

The world unfolded
Before me, stretching
Out into infinity
A burst of color
An explosion of light
Expanding, unfurling
Billowing up like smoke
Reaching out tendrils
Towards me, slithering
Twisting around me
Like unruly vines
I stood still in wonder
Unsure and afraid
As the heavens descended
Shimmering, iridescent
Blindingly beautiful
A swirling cloud of
Divine light
Envelops me slowly
The ground falls away
Feet resting on sunshine
Eyes burning with love
I awake to the newness
Of self fully realized
Heart wide open
Growing roots in the earth
Deep in the sense
Of knowing

Crashing, suddenly
Into the waves
My body, it floats
Then falls, sinking
Down, I feel
The water, cool
A caress, gliding over
My skin
Looking up
Light sparkles
Above me
Then fades
Darker
Deeper I go
Until all that is left
Faint, distant
A glimmer, to illuminate
The gloom, shadows
Surround me
Dancing and shifting
Sliding in closer
They reach for me
Stretching
Inky tentacles grasping
Trailing patterns of
Ice
Where they graze
My skin
Curling around me
They’re pulling me under
Slowly, further
Into the darkness
I open my mouth
To scream, to call
For someone, something
But silence
It chokes me
Filling my lungs
Seeping into my body
Weighing me down
I sink, gasping
For truth, needing
To speak, I claw
At the space
Surrounding me, empty
The weight of my
Burden
Dragging me
Down
Down, deeper
Into despair
The light, the glimmer
Of hope
Slowly fading
Away
