My Season

The once innocent in me

didn’t know I’d lost the key

in an emptiness that seeked

highs and lows that dove and peeked,

I was led into a prison,

choices made, I didn’t listen,

didn’t understand the frisson,

couldn’t see what I was given.

But the answers live in me,

understands this misery,

shed my tears so I could be,

I accept what I now see,

with love, so has been written,

give yourself to fill what’s missing,

what I see is not illusion,

it is meant, it is my season.

The Delicate Equilibrium

The battle within me has never ceased,

my wounds lash out, the innocents receive,

tempting demons I know can destroy my heart,

live the lies on my skin, carved by you in the dark.

I’ve seen the truth when freed from your lies,

felt laughter as it flew, changed light dark skies,

lived my dream, it may seem, were it not the truth,

side-by-side, pain and pleasure, within, they me rule.

In the Fog of Absent Minds

hidden pathways overgrown in the fog of absent minds

forgotten ways to a hallowed space sealed in by secret’s kiss

bound to the other’s presence, locked into intimacy

burned for, patiently waited for, to finally be fulfilled.
