Twas love, of that there is no doubt

Not to me, nor anyone else really

That resides in any sense of normalcy

That same love- still reins inside me

In places that now hides; akin a shadow

I know you’ve expressed concern

I perceived it greater than you did

And how you even describe it now

As being nothing more than a fling

A flight of fancy- gone wild, lopsidedly 

Seems rather odd to be honest

Why you’ve become so dismissive

Of facts or our words; so confusing

In reflection I understand it less- now

We made promises we ought not

But we are human, are we not?

Our words represented our desires

From ourselves shared to each other

Our words tried to convey- heighten

Those messages of our felt emotions  

Our words tried to create, beautify

Worlds where we could be- us

A world we sought to steep in love

Be together in truth and thoughts

If only, both of us were stuck by…pure lust

Ascribe Where flight became stalled Because fear stood its ground There- is where I- was reborn Where I relearned my reality As broken fragments of a self Where I’ve seen the unveilings Of time, truth, and Holy love Where angels cried and wept For my salvation and healing And I- wept along with them Where fire seared my mission Forged into my soul as passion A combatant for the wounded Of humanities silenced…truths Poet of the Light © 2023 I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers.
