Poem Title:
Poem
This is what I could not utter— A rush of light, a whirlwind of strange emotion A toss, a glimmer, a melodious peak Into the bindings of your soul I breathed in your pain And exhaled your smile You said, “I am with you, Remember me, and honor my strength Cross the thresholds into love’s gaping acceptation!” You roared its welcome in my lust for knowledge And how the world screams against those that love To those who arise from the waters in flames Freely and heavily, who wavers but the fear that imprisons us? I want to unravel the world with you Finish symphonies of psalms with you Cross oceans, barriers, trusts and travesties But I am bound here in this darkness How then can you see my fire? Because you are the fire You are with me You are in me In your pride, in your integrity, You have accepted who I must become These feelings feel alien to me Like they were lost for so long And have begged to be found But once found they wish to crawl back into the night But it is your light that will reveal its true beauty This is what I could not utter— For my throat was constricting reality itself The rest lay dormant in fear and despair I was unable to comprehend its light I was unable to apprehend the fright And it was your fight That so long ended the night It was our light That befitted my delight You begged, “Please, let me in, I am cold out here Open, open open! Let it all go, You are one in a million!” We are the same In the universe we dwell Making sense of it all Yet we are so infinitely different But is there clarity in the shadows? Is there truth in this fear? Teach me to trust the day Teach me to rise out of love I rest easy enough in this languishing confession But can I close my eyes again to hear the roars that deafen my threats? Can I close my eyes to this connection, Is it hellbent, Or heaven sent? Chance is of the essence…. Or is it love? To that hope, I open my door to you April 25, 2018
