Waiting In the Soul Electric

“Waiting in the Soul Electric”
We all drown in the red madness sometime Crying oceans of saltwater we tear Like torn pages we rise rebellious on all the blazing currents floating on a thin simile of Life kissing the Bluebird’s Wings as innocent as an angel sings confessional as a demon swings pirouetting in our flaming feathers of freedom we joust like eagles that dare with such hunger for the most important things - for the most important things, are not things... we are harm and hatred all the wasted years thinning all the mirrors useless facsimiles shattered hearts that were frozen become quills royal veined writing bonfire vanities keeping scores burning, we are hard steel we do not melt in the hot air up there we do not open we are closing doors windows blinds drawn Invisible dissolves the ink tattooed on all our tongues What is read is not seen by eye nor heard Inside us there waits the truest crown sensate there ignites the real meaning there Love finally opens the pearled gates waiting in the soul electric ultra violet, cool it burns bathed in light, soothing open arms patiently waiting like a parent alone waiting for you to melt (LadyLabyrinth / 2020)
