Through your mind’s eye & soul
A walk in darkness
Feeling for light
Bumping your toe on the hard surface of determination
Toppled over onto the sun
Basking in the rays, as light shines through you and into the people unseen
Forming words with the softness of clouds
Speaking for the silenced
Healing wounds dripping like a rainstorm
Bellowing the joy and pain from deep within
Your soul
Mind
& being
My Prince Warning
Looking like he was dipped in salad dressing and chicken gravy
He walked across the room with more grace than my spikey hair that constantly disobeyed the gel
His tailored pants hugged his drumstick feet
Sharper than the cheap pharmacy razor that slices away at my sexy....
Legs
Hair laying so smoothly on his perfectly shaped head
I licked my lips as I imagined that he smelled as good as he looked
Pressing my lips closed
I tried to breathe normally as he glided in my direction
Die
Breathe
Leave
Live
I needed a pie chart to weigh my options
Leaving seemed to have more data in its favor
My husband just called
I needed to be alive tomorrow to take my kid to school
And my difficulty breathing was way less fun than speaking to a stranger in the grocery store on a saturday morning.
I went home...
Warned.
Virgin Mary
A virgin mary
I stood embarrased and confused
Caressing the stretched skin that held the 3 month old human I had conceived mysteriously
A changed life
Adjusted ideals
Tides of thoughts crashing on my shore of anxiety
Sigh
A long hard thought of the human I was now responsible for overwhelmed the calmness I tried to exude
As the tears flowed
The cold from my bedroom windows brushed against my exposed body
I pulled the sheet over my head
Awake from the strangest dream I’d had this week.
