There is a beacon of hope stashed deep within me,
Encased in flesh and disappointment,

Burnt to a cinder

Ideas are matches They light fires in spaces devoid of reason and dismissive of logic The idea of a person will haunt those spaces long after the reality shows you different You created your hearts desire then you kept it in memoriam when it couldn't withstand the light You told yourself "How could it not be perfect still?"  And then you stood aside as it bled into all that was good about you When it seeped into the carpet and made the tear stained patches crackle and pop You told yourself "Everything that's worth something hurts" You ran along side it as it streamed into the gulleys that fed your spirit  And it poisoned you.  Poisoned you into a mere shadow of yourself...  And still you told yourself "If I could come this far then it must be mine" And then you blew away...

Coloured. Tainted. I stand in myself as I pour around me Seeking to discern what is me and what is ME What is mine and what is lent to me? My something new, borrowed, blue. Blended… Droplets of myself. Coloured. Tainted. I stare into my version of the sun Maybe it’s the glare But once in a drop I see a different colour and taint My snowflakes. In the midst of me,   there is ME Bursting forth to remind me, Of the ME before here I was whole before I was made whole I am b...
