Poem Title:
Poem
I divorced the cirrus heat that once laced the sky with fire, carrying searing sins of the scorching sun ~ burning the soft bronze of my melanin; an unabated rage, a labyrinth of blooming lilac, an assortment of angst, a library of healing lullabies homed beneath the glass-skin silence of my quivering chest~ like wind through cathedral clusters, a poison to my psyche, too bright for the darkness that dwells. But perhaps it is in eclipsed spheres I thrive in comfort~ attain nirvana through sketched peace lilies drawn in stillness. Now I’ve found inner nectarine ingredients~ a recipe for resilience to pollinate my passion, to compose myself, to uncloud storms by marrying the moon in my conscience~ painting citrine and topaz on the pillows where I weep, in seclusion and solitude. Here, stars of solace ~ I do breathe~ a self-consolation that needs no granular words scratching the inner walls of the throat chakra. O beloved, forgive my need to see through the haze that has been fogging the fluorescence of your aurora horizon. My woe ~ a broken vow, my ache ~ a bleeding wound, my grief ~ your scar~ a suffocating scarf, a burden I relieve you of with severed ties, letting go amidst the love that still flutters in Luna sparkles… You were a hallucinatory hymn of dawn ~ beautiful, yet bruised, and I am silver thread tied to the oblivion of diamond dusk, basking in the raining remedies, seeking floriated meadows, lost in the breeze of sea-kissed azure~ an awakening: to trade venom for vigor, like the unfurling of sakura in the warmth of spring’s splendor, brushing away crystals of mulberry-black ice when cold are the conversations left unread and dried between misinterpreted metaphors... Sometimes, farewells are healing, moving on ~ a contemplative prayer, the spiritual pilgrimage toward embracing clarity and zen. For there, in the vintage forest of forsaken violets, wilted petals are watered with tears and roseate radiance, and, in the ruins of pixelated promises, we will learn to linger in the luminous reveries of love ~ evermore...
