"unreliquishing" poems
I exhaled
Smoke riding towards
The stars
My eyes red swollen
Tracing thousands of scars
And everything felt stolen
And my blood and pain covered me
In places you couldn’t see
My knees scratched
Feeling brokenly free
And I let my eyes
Become the ocean
I asked God for something
Broken from emotion
And I saw lights
That made me smile
Some nights
Breaking what I thought
Was unreliquishing darkness
Which I addictively sought
And God I swear
I tasted heaven
Smelt it in the air
The lights dimmed
And the beach tractors
Drove past me
But heaven went right through me
And even through that hell
I tasted heaven
And that kept me
Alive
Because I saw the light and I tasted heaven
When I was drowning in hell
