The first moment I out eyes met
an image that is forever burned into my memory
If I grow old
and forget everything else in this world
I am sure to be haunted by that moment
I could paint it from memory right now
Your stance
your smile
but mostly your eyes
They are what burn in my mind
all the little things that flash in my mind of you
they are all behind this image of your eyes
They leaped at me...
Literally
That one second was a million year
It was as though a voice whispered
"this is a soul you must know".
If I were to paint this moment
to capture the color that burned behind your eyes
I woul .not be able to do
They haunt me daily
piercing me
demanding I spill myself to you
And I can not hope to hold back
no matter how hard I try
My soul just opens to yours

What purpose is there to meeting such a soul
Such a moment
if nothing is to come of it...

Why were you even dropped into my life.

Comfort
Jolene Heather Oct 2014
Come,
Put your head on my lap
I will brush your hair
And sing you a song
Let your tears fall
As you grip my thigh
And release your heart's sorrowful sigh

If you feed the fire too much
You will lose control
Then things burn

If the earth does not get rain
She becomes brittle
Lending a fuel

So keep the fire low
Water the plants
And go

You in your head
Is the most beautiful
Moment I have ever seen

instructions on how to grow
Jolene Heather Feb 2015
We are broken
But all things that grow
Must be broken
So let us be broken
And let us grow
Come
I will show you how

You must look at what broke you
Forgive it
Love it
And then you will both grow
