i cut it open
an afternoon treat on a sunny day
those blood oranges screamed of you.
beautiful & vibrant
tender & lovely
deep & fragrant
i couldn't eat them.
i gazed at their beauty
each angle better than the one before
i carried them with me all day
thinking of you
an ache in my heart
as if I needed a reminder
that I chose to set you free.
letting go but deeply in love.

What do I do when perfect isn't enough?
queenofwands Apr 2020
Deep sobs.
Grief has struck.
The loss of you running down my cheeks.
Clutching my heart
Though it might fall out into my hands.
It bleeds dark red and sadness,
Barely beating.
Cracked in a million pieces.
It feels cold in my outstretched palms.

Little shoots are popping up.
Flowers sprouting from its softness.
You helped me sprinkle those seeds.
You helped me grow.
To blossom.
More colourful than I ever imagined.
Yellows, blues, & oranges.
Wild flowers every which way.
Petals floating to my feet.
I am more beautiful because of you.

if we were a garden
i'd be a flower
you'd be a sprout
both beautiful, alive, delicious
we grow apart
we appear to be separate
distance between us
standing on our own
tall & proud
but
underneath the soil,
our roots are tangled together
holding hands
quietly nourishing each other
to grow strong & healthy on our own
even in separation, we are connected.
to give the one you love space is a magical gift
holding you has always felt so right.
just give me time.

skip in my step
grief behind me
beats pulsing through my speakers
dont rush, slow touch
sun streaks through the window
the journey to self
power radiating
letting go of these scripts
in freeing my heart
i, too, set you free.

What if we already had our last kiss?
queenofwands May 2020
i used to call your heart home.
my safe place is no longer with you.
"I hate that part of you"
queenofwands Apr 2020
the slow burn
of turning into strangers
terrifies me the most

i promise to keep your secretos
cerca de mi corazon
i promise to think of you con amor
i promise to send besitos in the wind
that touch every part of you at once
i promise to send hugs in the warmth of the sun's rays
onto your soft, tattooed skin
i promise to send hope in the soft pastel of today's sunset
basking infinitamente sobre las montanas

mi tortugita,
a tu manera, descomplicado
i'll see you in my dreams
where we can touch otra vez
i'll think of you when i stare at the waves hitting the shore
sweeping our sadness deep out to sea
i'll be with you looking up at the twinkling stars
you brought those to life in me
i'll meet you on every dance floor
when our songs come on
el amor
vive en el alma
there will always be space in my heart
para ti
latiendo para ti
to my beautiful husband. honouring our relationship. recently separated. broken hearted.

how beautiful it is
to feel so deeply
it drops as liquid crystal
from the hazel in your eyes
queenofwands Apr 2020
Your hands cupping my face
Strong & grounded
Gaze piercing through me like you'd
Never seen anything more beautiful.
What an honour to know a love like this
You lean in
Your soft lips brush mine
Tastes like love.
The tenderness of a lover
Like bread fresh from the oven
Warm & soft & gentle
Fills up the whole body
As it finally reaches my mouth
A deep sigh releases from my lips
At last,
I am home.

— The End —
