She buried herself deep within the dirt. Coming back, pushing past surface, like a sprout catching sun for the first time.

Break through.
Tap in.

Her tears were sweet instead of salty.
Watering all that could be,

And all the while inside the quiet of the Earth's womb, she thought,
"Thy will be done."

Grounding.

Love Spell

She lifted her face from her hands,
Tears streaming on both sides,
Eyes as big as the full moon,
Her voice quivers, "Is there a spell to make me forget?"

The old woman smiled slightly with sympathetic pain,
"No child, unfortunately nothing can destroy love; but time can soften the pain. Just a bit."

In A Heartbeat

I'll trade you

The warm breath of this night in June
To be replaced by the warming breath of you
Just below your fine and fearsome eyes
In such a heartbeat I could be satisfied
Instantly

I'll trade you

Sounds fair to me. Just an abundance of June nights. (;

Not Very

God the taste was foul, bitter bile that didn't even come up all the way.

It just sat there in the back of my throat,
Burning out even more unspoken words.

"This isn't like me," I say to the reflection as I hover over the toilet.

"No, this isn't my life. This isn't me"
My mind can't even wrap around everything I did,
Everything I said.

The acid from my stomach could never be punishment
When compared to the torment inside my heart.

I know all too well
How useful "sorry" is
When it comes to making amends.

Not Very.

I'm sorry.

Marble and the Chiseler

I always thought I was a healer for the broken and somehow the
lost found me.
I thought I was whole and the one who was open
But then I caught a glimpse in a mirror, and I saw her.

Cracked eyes and chipped shoulders,
Once a stone masterpiece that could have been marveled in all her glory.
Those broken soul's storms she endured to make sure they saw the sun have had an effect.
She is weathered down and wonders if a chiseler will ever come around to bring her back to life.
