She Heals

It’s in the blood. Sprinkled among the human elements is something other-worldly, something…magic. At birth there’s just a spark of it, nothing noticeable but as one grows so does that spark; manifesting in one's early adulthood. It’s not as scary or disconcerting as one might think…To them, it feels very natural and freeing. From her palm it rose White light shimmers, she begins Healing our bruised world

Siren Song

A voice rings in my head but not my ear, Telling me all I don’t want to hear, Like how in this life I don’t belong And so begins the silent siren song… Everything is great, maybe even divine, Yet I’m still not okay or even barely fine. Everything is alright but I’m all wrong, Being driven insane by that siren song… Every moment seems to last forever, In a cycle that even love can’t sever. This short life feels far too long When hearing the slow siren song… The voice still echoes within my head, Singing of everything it knows I dread. I’m starting to lose the will to carry on,

Sirens

They converge towards her tumultuous tide At a pathetic peasant like pace Foolishly lured by this oceanic muse As the sea and their vessel embrace Enchanted melodies from the undertow Ameliorate the stagnant sea As resistance sinks to a watery grave Temptation shows signs of buoyancy It is only a whisper in the wild wind Though such a sweet and innocent call From beyond the slate grey clouded horizon Comes the wretched waves of the white squall Watching on in wonder from the widow’s walk As the weak willed cast their final shadow Entranced and entrapped by her prurient gaze And swallowed in her seagirt meadow Diabolical desire fille

Mermaids

When she was five she believed in mermaids For 95% of the ocean was undiscovered So she went to school and told her classmates how she wanted to meet a mermaid They laughed at her- "Mermaids don't exist." When she was ten she watched those same kids sit in wooden church pews praying to God- Proofless. She laughed at them for being hypocrites

the aftermath

the temple of her body was torn open tonight, desecrated and lit on fire. i swear, gods have burned and felt less pain than i do as i write these words down, because she’s crying in my bathroom right now and i have to go and convince her that the handful of feathers i have left in my palms could ever equal the wings he snipped off of her tonight. she will never fly again. she will never believe so wholly in herself again. her body is no longer a temple, her body is a landmine, an open wound, a thousand foot drop off of a bridge, a stranger to her. she will never again be able to trust her body, to know her body. this is not the first p

Sands and Tide

The tide is pulling, pulling away, I have no way to make it stay; The sand is falling, falling through time, I have no way to make it mine. The gulls are flying, flying away Chanting music day by day; The waves are pounding, pounding on, And so they shall when I have gone. But here I am with a sky above, A mind of dreams and a heart of love; Forget the sand, forget the tide, The water's vast and shoreline wide. I'm scooping sea-foam, catching shells, Wading depths to feel waves swell, Building castles in the spray And laughing when they're swept away. Yes, taunt me, time, go right ahead! Strive to buffet me with dread; You know where I ma

Night creature

Please don’t leave the light on I don’t like the way it shines Don’t want to see my wounds and bruises Let me forget them for tonight

Late

I'm wandering through this house Because it doesn't feel like home Staying up too late Because I want to be alone Sitting in the dark Because it doesn't hurt my eyes Listening to the silence 'Cause at least it never lies.

Opposite Ends

Softly swirling in An intimate overflow Entwined with the tides Ever a friendly Face to be found in the fray Of a constant change Flicker and you fade A moth drawn in or maybe A spark in the dark Padding through the pale Trees twisted by the tearing Of a frozen throat Hidden from the heart A ghostly grey interval Whispers wax and wane On a sleepless search Welded within is a war Bearing it brightly The sun bubbling up Emergent identity Horizons converge Shedding silver scales Clarity shared from afar Wisdom woven in Carry your courage Splinter shards from the restless Of recollection Veered from your vision A tangled thread I cut fre

To You

To the girl I saw With the sad, sad eyes. To the boy I met Who wasn't allowed to cry. To the man I saw Who was falsely accused. To the woman I met Who was badly abused. This is my ode to you For you live on despite it. I'm so proud of you For you can still fight it. The world is against you, But it's not your fault. It's just the way This world was taught. So live on, live on, Don't you give up here. It gets better later, The light is near. I believe in you, I know you can make it. I'll reach out my hand, If you need it, just take it. You're special, You're important, You're not invisible, You exist, And you'll be fine.
