She Has Wings

Written 9/8/2021

When I see her, she sometimes has wings
- but they are heavy and push her shoulders forward.
Her large eyes, the colour of an evergreen forest,
bore deep impressions beneath their weight.
When she is full - her body sustained -
her belly, rounded, shows off its new possession.
I don't know what to think of her
in all her naked vulnerability;
Where youth and hunger once masked her flaws,
now life and nourishment chip away at the facade.

I called the wind and it found me,
Whispered softness in my mind
I asked it to stay and ground me
But it soon left me behind

I begged the water to love me
I caught a current out to sea
But a wave crashed from above me.
It just wasn't meant to be

I told the moon to follow
To cast a shadow always near
But her promises were hollow
And every month, she'd disappear

I asked the earth to hold me
To keep my roots planted strong
And with her deep brown eyes she told me
I had been with her all along

I miss you like hell, and you're not gonna tell me
That was a long time ago.
Cause I still feel the same, and I'm not gonna quell the pain
- Let it overflow.
But when I've eased my mind and it's been one year's time
I'll be fine, but how about you?
You'll be searching your soul, cause it's never been whole
From the grieving that you never knew.

Love Come Down - Song

Written 6/7/2021

Love come down
And show me where you've been
It's been too long
And I haven't caught your scent
Because you sleep in the shadows,
In my dreams, in the wind
But I've been held down
By a voice in my head

Peace come back
And show me where you hide
It's been so many years since I felt you inside
Because your form is so soft
It's like mist, hard to hold
And my mind gets so tired
And that voice is so cold

Grief, come here,
And show yourself to me
You've been swimming through my veins
And it's time to set you free
Yes it hurts, yes I know
I can hear you all day
But you're blocking my path
And you've outgrown your stay

    These are the words that spew forth from my unrelenting brain, usually in times of pain or depression. I try to keep a bitter-sweet tone to highlight the hope I still see in the world.
