even through the struggles, and darkness - there is light in my veins
I know that sometimes my face speaks of discomfort, and unease, that what you see seems discontent.
And it is.
It is extremely discontent in a short moment of time that will pass.
It's a repeated reaction triggered by all the struggles that life has put me through. But this struggle is an aftershock of all the past lives that still echo sometimes in the tissue. It's a vibration, a ripple on the face of water that at times still causes circles to appear. Something that is not responsible for the present but affects me because of the past.
To be honest I have never felt more happier, more alive, more settled into my bones - with a grounded soul that rests in the home it never truly knew it had. It is something so deeply beyond measure that I can never truly name.
It bursts through my seams, covering me with light when the darkness floats out of me.
My heart is filled with joy, my soul breathing in and out like it has never before, finally free to feel all that it was meant to feel. I am happy and filled with so many feelings and emotions that I can't always contain.
They leak out of me,
each little drop deepening the solid rocks that used to contain my prison.
I cannot say how much your touch means to me, or how deeply I feel each of your caresses, even the slightest one, even the most subtle.
I sink into you completely, I MERGE into a universe that fits so well
and that I still struggle to give a name, to give an explanation.
My love, I have found a home in you, and because of that I am most vulnerable with you, and around you - no matter if your presence is caused by the barely few inches you were from me for the past few days - or oceans apart.
I wish I could tell you how my skin feels against yours, how my body and mind rests, how my bones sigh in relief whenever you touch me - but somehow I cannot find words for it - how could I if there aren't enough of them to fill in all the gaps
that make the picture of us
this mosaic of light and dark, of the struggles and the victories,
of the traumas that we had to deal with and the good that we brought by existing
in each other's lives,
of the most beautiful multicolored stained glass that comes to life when you are near - physically or in the energy that travels to my heart and yours - the energy that bursts
out so eagerly out of us
when our souls talk when they whisper to each other.
I am happy with you, even in the moments when I feel a little lost with myself,
a bit non-believing in the person that I have evolved into.
But trust me when I say - this heart of mine has never felt so at home as it has since the day we collided - growing in size in ways that far beyond my comprehension.
Every kiss, every touch, every breath, every inhale...
I am finally connected - I am finally home.
I am warm when you are near, melting into the tapestry of our souls
into the map of our bodies - into the lines that make our lips, into each fragment that marks our skin... and when the weight of your body covers me,
when you give in and surrender to me - when you allow me to take you in completely
I feel safer that I have ever felt before - I am safe. I am home
without a single doubt in my being.
hyperactive matter, softness, and this soul in between
I immerse myself in the sun
swallowing gold
within tattered lungs
gravity no more than a delicate red string
in a child's
soft chubby hands ,
my body lifts and pivots in a boundless spell
swirling somersaults
on the edge of the light
cutting air between oxygen and lost time .
I am something yet unsaid
lifetimes
of dying stars
fireworks waiting to be lit
I immerse myself in the sun
I swallow myself up
starting creation at day one .
reinventing structural walls
the blueprints
to my soul
storm bursts and ultraviolet things
the day after tomorrow
this heart felt raw
no, it was raw
bones like copper metal
re-vibrating the frequency of our love
pained notions
harsh commotions
bloody tissue exploding inside ones shattering core,
raging things
drowning things
a flood covering the earth made out of my ash,
quantum mechanics turning atoms and particles into distance,
what was always meant to be,
now counted in miles
If I cross a million feet, can I touch your atoms through clouds filling both of our skies?
this heart was breaking like glass on the day of creation's rest
colored structured molding,
then dripping down to the floor
sinking into carpet
the floor, the basement of my love,
bruised tissue
swollen tissue
don't scrape against the raw flesh
please don't play with bleeding wounds
and yet, and yet
the things that bruise up become stronger
through pain comes clarity,
and even if I have to rip my heart
to simply breathe on days after tomorrow
and each that comes before and after
I will find my way to you,
because these copper bones,
and rusted scars were always meant for you
I have missed you for lifetimes without knowing your name,
but the absence of you was always trickling through my muscles
continual dropping wears away a stone
and now I am carved with linings of your name permanently written
into my tissue,
that goes far beyond this body, this skin, these beaten-up lungs,
time is simply an illusion that moves relative to an observer
the distance from the sun to the moon a minuscule
when it comes to the ten billion galaxies
sewn into these two beings,
how do I explain to you?
that hurricanes like these tear me apart until all I am, is soul
until all I breathe is heart,
and all I am is a burned-out hole, of a human form
and yet
something roars in me, something claws in me
a beast resting at the feet of my soul,
I pet it gently and nod,
yes, I hear her name as well, little one
it's calling us, isn't it?
yes, let's turn miles into atoms once again
.
just a moment
you took my hand and showed me how the sun’s light can warm instead of burn,
and just for a while, i felt what it is like to be sheltered unconditionally.
i looked at you in awe, with all these untamed feelings coming over me like a rush of the ocean’s waves sweeping me under for just a moment.
just a moment.
for once, being under the current of someone’s love didn’t feel suffocating and heavy. as I came up not for air but to see your eyes gazing back at me, i knew it would be foolish of me to turn and walk away from this cosmic dance between us.
so, I continued to dance with you on the rings of Saturn, allowing my heart to be set free.
The moment of you
There are times,
like just now when
I wish I could take
your picture to look
back on
Because we are
human and mask
these moments
with every imaginable
flattery
But a picture
of just how you
turned to face me
with that smile
was devastating
And I wonder
if you heard me
gasp as the
lightening struck
halting me
I wish I could
have a picture
of that moment
of your face
of your smile
that moment of you…
on the flutters of triggered wings . and soul tremors hidden within a breath
don't judge the way I breath in my . l o u d
you have no idea
how it is to have
worlds
and universes
exploding inside your head,
set into life by the smallest tremors of the heart,
I am an earthquake in a grain of sand
feeling all on one
day,
moment,
f r a c t i o n . of a second,
and _ n o t h i n g _ on the ones
speaking only of hollow thoughts
and empty spaces between the ribs,
you must know
that the wind blows harder
on those with bruised structures
but hell,
how beautiful the sun _ s h i n e s _ through those cracks,
be mindful, caring
( tender )
when touching wings that still struggle
with the concept of flying,
there is a whole map painted on my spine
colored with scars,
the scars that I teach myself to . s o o t h e
and not _ j u s t _ hide
.
