Elixir of the Sun and the Moon
Just let my heart and mind breath
I bellow out into the bitter wind
The constant plummeting of thoughts
Against my skull
Nausea narrows and squeezes my lungs in its paws
My organs are the monster’s play toys
Thrown around
Pulled apart
Beat around
And left alone
Emotions spilling out of my chest
Overflowing me
I’m drowning in disquiet
The pulling of ropes inside my throat
The boulder tight knots
Almost taking up the entirety of my windpipe
Leaving with no air to breath
I fall to my knees in front of a body of water
I see myself
I am equal parts
Light and darkness
Yin and Yang
I am the Sun
An extinguishable burning flame in my soul
Burning fast and slow
Passion
Power
Pride
Confidence coursing through my solar waves
Never running away from a chance encounter
I go when and where I want to go
Nothing stops me
Hashtag no regrets for life
Never settling
Everchanging
I am the Moon
The silent observant
The mystic and magical
Collector of past letters and spells
An old soul, living millenniums of past lives
Nevertheless
Eager to learn more
Feel more
Experience more
Because
Life is certainly much much more than this
Than my naked wrists
Looking for a red silk ribbon to wrapped around with
I breath in and out heavily
As sweats drips down my forehead
The elixir of the Sun and the Moon
Resides in me
I sigh
The night never is eternal
The day is never eternal
Nothing is forever
One single breath,
One single blink,
One single wave,
And the moment is gone
And I know
I will realize
I’m where I always needed to be
