#innersanctum
What right do you have to lie there so beautiful,
So far away?
I am bathed in the shadow of your gaze as I write this,
And trying to follow the map of grief drawn, to meet you.
Transport me, my glimmer, to your dissociative place.
We'll sit there in silence.

I wake up everyday
my eyes riveted
to the ceiling
as rainbow flecks
radiate from crystals
that reside in the middle
of the uppermost window
this bedroom marked “private”
on the door
has meant twenty-four months
complete control
freedom to design
every detail, every texture, every nuance
Handpicked
A vivid palette
splashed onto every square foot
hoping to recapture
life’s intense force
while it drowns out
nagging shadows
threatening to swallow
My space
Italian ceramic mask- topped sconces
flanking the empty space
the mosaic mirror
I’m still learning to make
the gilded cream vanity
fit for a princess
still Waits
highlighted memories
fill dusty shelves and cling to walls
called Home now
my queen size bed use to sit quietly
in my guest room
rarely disturbed
now it harbors
my dreams and fears
afloat on a sea of defiantly feminine
pillows and blankets
an eclectic mix of Me
comes out of every nook and cranny
while my inner sanctum takes shape.

Close your eyes, and now you're here
The world I build around me
It exists when I am not
And I create my surroundings.
The sky is blue and sparrows sing
The sun never sets to darkness
No matter the weather without my world
Within the sunlight sparkles.
Whether a lie or fairytale
My world keeps me alive
So whenever you feel you need a break
Step on in, just close your eyes.
