All alone with my shadow For far too long I have been swallowed up Only my shadow remains Empty shoes where I used to stand A formless fraud Pretending myself into being Laughing, crying, raging Anything to feel alive So so tired now Yet unable to find solace in sleep Peace evades me I keep getting back up After each knock down I can’t seem to help it My longing for love is greater than my sorrow The seductive void calls to me Trust, trust, trust… My mantra Will the light return? Or have I finally been extinguished? Sweet surrender is where I’ll find my bliss.
“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.” ~Rumi
You entered my sunlit dreams
offering your heart
so open and warm
I melted into you
So steady and sure
you held onto me
with a strength that calmed my fear
Your devious charm
seducing me
with belly laughs
and innuendo
Your voice
your moans
the way you sigh my name
lights a fire inside me
Throwing caution to the wind
with eyes and hearts open
allowing our souls to find their way back together
