Secrets weigh heavy as burdens on the heart -
stone bags wound tightly with string-
Swaying into a crippling pit
But the risk of a personal heart is better dealt than the loss of the others held
Sobriety tasted vacant-
What felt free was laced with potent, bitter tendencies  
Decisions narrowed and lines embarked-
Deploying Tangible intercept
Danger has a way with sweetness to the ears
Trickery-
Taking the mind away from the world-
The well being of the doubtful with a sip-
One

Two

Three

Four

More-
Back to the downfall

(C) Tiffanie Noel Doro
He fell to his knees screaming out her name
He pierced the heavens above with the aching screech of his voice
"Contessa please, hear my plea!"
He was a man in desperation-
His heart had been taken off of his very own sleeves to the skies
Out of his reach-
Passed the shimmer of the milky way
Out of his ability to hold her head to his chest once more
What has she done
She's left a rich man poor
She left before her hour glass passed it's last grain of sand
Splitting the future in two
His dismay tattered his whole
She took her life-
And the beauty from his eyes
And with this act she ruined countless more

Let the semicolon split apart from the seams
Let the lights shatter
Let the eclipse taste us-
Whole embodied variations
Infatuations digested and expelled with this disease
Let us examine
Let us recreate
The desire we infected with selfish tendencies
Give me your pure-
Our sinless monogamy

I am stronger than those nights
Stronger than that five year old girl-
That fifteen year old girl  
Stronger than a year ago
Than a month or even a week ago
Stronger than yesterday
This, I know, is factual
But that doesn't mean there will not be moments where memories run wild-
Rampant through my bones
Memories which cause my skeletal system to tremble
Memories where the images of which become almost unbearable

But I know,
They say some of the strongest people are the ones who suffer the most
Whatever that suffering may be
Blood still runs through their veins-
Still breathe in the same air as you and I
And they too will overcome

I will overcome
Time after time
Because I am a force on my own-
I am strong enough

Not my best but I didn't intend it to be. It was definitely necessary in order for me to let go of some weighted doubt I've been carrying around on my shoulders. Maybe it will give someone else the perspective do the same.
I could write about every constellation-
Every shooting star
With every possible word-
Deep and meaningful
But I don't think anything could compare to you
So I'll do my best

And care for your heart unlike anyone you could ever know

#love #compassion #faith
You could spend a millennium
searching for home
Or you could just look around at the faces that embrace you. Home is where you are free to plant your heart.

It took time for me to realize
Compassion will set us free

(C) Tiffanie Noel Doro
I can no longer rest
I have been denied
Hustled and trembling from the hostility in words-
Words like a noose-
Ringing the tenderness out

Falling from clouds
I was built up-
Fastened in equilibrium above the ground
And when the brink of ****** came
The gravity began to pull me down

There is no easy landing this time around
I will come crashing-
Shattering-
Scattering the warmth of my emotions across the sweet hearts that lay at the bottom of your glasses
