A poet speaks with only his pen,
Unveiling every secret and every sin.
For the page is a safe place for people like me,
Far away from where others can see.
For if you knew what hid in this ink,
You might be able to save me from the brink.

If you want to keep
yourself safe and content then
never let them in

Hidden in safety.
Mystery lives, rests, and waits.
Lifting shrouds with time.

The halo of my thought
The beam of my heart
The safety of my soul
Transformation my existence

My favorite object in the universe
Is accompanied by the light of the sun
The sea welcomes both lights as to be one
The ocean dances, waving back to me
The moon holds the essence of me sinking
There are four lights in one passing image
A breathless air of escape is brought here

When the light goes out, I want to be here
When the light goes out, I want the soul of the bulb to change
When the light goes out, I want the sea to blink
When the light goes out, I want the feeling of the sun to welcome the rest of the three

The halo of the beam reflects the safety of the existence in the ships to be exactly like the light housed in...

The relief of sheet and blanket, nestled between hands and heart.

Floods my being with irrational safety and solace.

I never want to leave.

whisper in my neck
wrap your arms around me
tell me you love me

fly her to far-off skies —
miles and miles
away from piercing storms and tears;
send her to a new place,
embraced in a safe space
away from the pain that wildly sears;
lull her to sleep
and wipe away her silent weeps;
let the weariness disappear —
dispel, dispel all unnecessary fears.
Elisabeth Meyer Jun 2020
I come from a broken home
And all I want is a home
A place, a person, a feeling
Something that is indestructible and timeless

Yet I quite bluntly realised
I need to be that place
I need to be that person
I need to be that feeling

For myself is the only thing that stays forever

She’s afraid of progress
Will it mean she forgets?
Abandoning the part of her who suffered?
She wants to hold her close
Embraced in healing, love, growth
But for that part of herself
It’s still happening
She’s still suffering
She’s still struggling
And the tighter she’s held by safety
The louder she screams that she’s not safe
