You and Me

Disaster when you leave
Disappointment is a stiletto
Sinking in, searing
Eroding any attempt of Spirit to sneak by

Tears torn from behind angry eyelids
I might dissolve
Become a sticky snuffling mess
A puddle of stark solitude

Begging for your complete return
Why do you leave me?
It must be essential/absolute/necessary
For anything less…

I would slash myself into pieces and rearrange until
Until I couldn’t care anymore
You’re my fancy, my only light
So then

When you are gone
Stay with your soul in my soul
Wherever your body goes Wherever you are
And I will hold you close

L.S.

Keep Trying

Discovery is the truth
the journey
Past is but a hell
Scars, Stains, burst and burned out Stars]
Given
Created
And Someday… if you’re charmed

Empowerment
Knowing self as friend
Companion voice
Claimed only by You
Used by no one else
There is joy in permission
given, granted, gained

Waiting for change
Bodies flourish
within without worry
I am only one
Like Elizabeth
loved, revered
Alone

Even this body eventually grows cold
But my soul?
It continues
In my road, my words
And
In the bones to come.
