Living My Name
In your presence, I suddenly rediscovered my name
It was hidden under the cloak of foolish pride
A self contained the mirage that dulled my perception of what was real and of truth
My eyes now unveiled of imageries clouded in cancer
As once before, I only saw people as shadows
And their backdrop as nothing but random interludes
Your life size tenderness bleeds unto my unformed consciousness
An arranged feast between a shamed thief and a generous princess
Now painted in vibrant hues is the intensity of our communion
A freed slave, I once before wore over me the a gown clothing my naked anonymity
And in grandeur I now assumed an identity, a pride of place
No longer orphaned in the void that echoed my entrapped soul
