The best part of getting older
is looking straight into strangers’ eyes without fear
Oh the joys that the iris brings
what confidence of soul and spirit
Breathing with a lifted chin and open chest
Seeing the honesty in others’ happy and respectful gazes
All the truth I had missed
Now spread out before my sight

Love is a living organism
for when it is healthy it grows
It slips it’s tendrils into the cracks and spaces of everything around it
It leaves no weakness unchanged
nothing touched by love remains the same



Love produces love
In all who accept the scent of it’s rosy flowers
Buds begin to form and open
A reliable test for love is this:
You are more and you know it
You are fuller and you feel it
You are beautiful and you sing it
If you become less
then what you have is not Love

I am a bright light
and I defy all walls and prisons
With Holy Fire
I devour boxes like paper shreds
but I’ve just begun to burn
and I’m only an ember compared to my future
A Roaring Burning
I will not hide the glory of the One inside me
Like oxygen and diesel
it is He who feeds me
I am but the pottery that must crumble away
until I am a skeleton lampstand
Leaving a Naked Flame

"**** it"
no
I refuted

I said,
"Bless it"

The world is enough a hell to be ******
Why curse it further?

I think my greatest power discovery
is finding I’m strong enough to love myself
and it’s not hard
because I’m very lovable
Elioinai Sep 2018
Your face staring into mine
and I feel
what
afraid
is the only thing it feels like
but it’s a gentle fear
And suddenly I realized
that power is what draws me most
to you
