Sometimes my life feels overwhelming. Not just for the present but also for the past. As unproductive as it is to let yesterday drain me, it is hard to prevent it from creeping in. Hard shelled in my skin or guarded in my heart… there is always a door.
I weep to hear the walking wounded – they whisper under their breath – prayers for locked windows and no more revolving doors. I feel their hurting hearts as they reach to prevent further damage to their already bleeding souls.
I beg for revolving doors.
Pain in: my journey in life
Pain out: to grow and change
I am not who I was – because of this past that sometimes haunts. Yes, I find moments where my back is breaking and my head feels heavy and burdened. I am not without my own wounded whispers to the sky. My head and hands to the ground. Prayers for a road less traveled, but leading finally to a garden of plenty.
I am not who I was – because of you. Each thread weaving through my structure. Strengthening moments and equipping me for a brighter future. I get wound up in words and covered in emotion within our oceanside. Beneath the sand there is something for each of us. Buried then, now uncovered. Shovel in your hand and bucket in mine… we find our treasure.
Darkness presses, but it no longer prevails. I find closure in my wounds and a new peace in my defeats. There are hands that reach for me. Pull me to where I need to be. For you I write this
Love Letter…
It sounds like love
That beats our distance away
Rhythm beguiling rhyme
Reason throwing out time
Patching my wounded little heart
Filling the space between
You lover
Are nothing short of a dream
Making my past seem less painful
My heart seem less beaten
It reads like a love song
Flowing in perfect motion
Sung with Angelic grace
Your dream intoxicating bliss
I need nothing
More than this
your poem is a beautiful love letter. i felt touched personally by it.

Have to go through the darkness to get to the light. I guess part of life is getting beat up to appreciate what is true and meaningful.
