The unlayering of a soul Like the drawback of an old beautiful curtain Dusty and covered in a masquerade of golden tassles Hiding the depth behind And when they uncover Unmask Choose to perform My eyes and heart are captivated By the magic that is in stuttering toungues and loud cackles Long stories and love poems
I came to tell my story And my ears were much happier after Having soaked in the noise of humanity The sound of souls A room full of souls
And I have been in those empty rooms before Those rooms silent and eager for more space Rooms echoing with soulless disconnection And these people are not soulless but they do not give themselves up don't give themselves freedom to be those souls
And I can only relate to people who have that soul Who have the depth the expanse, the mind, the breadth to express Their innermost pains, joys And a room that is soulfull Accepts And a drawback of curtains Assumes no judgement For why would there be? What would there be to judge?
I used to cry about feeling like a stranger in my own home Then feeling guilty for being sorry for myself And throwing up a pity party when no other life is better than mine and so many people have it worse in many ways we know what it feel like to live in a world where you feel you never belong Then to be faced with a room, heart beating a mile a minute, knowing the curtains will be drawn back and you will have to face the music of your own
I saw a woman today, with a face filled with so much love it was glowing A love that made me want to love everything And I know everything isnβt what it seems But poetry is all about that seem That perspective From afar
As my arrow gets pulled far back into depths of deep internal demons I am now being tossed into the universe Endlessly No aim Fired off into the moving air I feel like a plastic bag Im flying by city lights And city dreams Hoping for answers hidden in the trees
Sunflowers have been planted But it will be winter soon Roots are growing, sprouting little buds of green Not blooming yet But there is growth And strength in the little brown sprouted roots
