‘Aren’t you afraid of my darkness, my dear?’ Hades asked with mischief in his eyes.
‘No.’ Persephone replied, ‘You haven’t seen mine yet.’

Kind of like
Universe saying
(eyes rolling):
What in the world do I have to move
to make you trust

you must-
you must not fear
a single bit
what comes your way;

I throw
a bucket of
nature's best flowers
on you
I send out
my animal helpers
make them
approach and watch
over your steps

and however long it takes
until you trust-
believe-
and wake up with
a radiant clarity that wipes
out all gloomy thoughts
-
I'll stay
and watch
and
hold
your
hand.

Let's walk together
This fine line
Of love and hate

Let's find each other
A profound joy
To replicate

Let's learn and love
And laugh with joy
As the world around us dissolves

Let's carry our hearts
And heal through the pain
As our love slowly evolves

down goes the world,
the only kind you ever knew,
skies felt grey,
in the truest of blue.
your mind was lost,
you dimmed all your fire,
you held to each thought,
as each one felt much lighter.
all things have collapsed,
your breath of relief,
the sky was now broken,
your words now unspoken.

I broke my walls down for you

but then you reminded me

why I built them so high
