Vagary

What are you?
My own wind vain
pointing every which way
even when the breeze is light and healing
even in the cool of certainty
your heat makes you thrash
What is this fever heart sibling,
that sometimes brings snow then sun
Blue then green
What are you...
My own mood ring feeling acute changes in infinity
even though you can't quantify it
I speak in honeyed litanies to atone you
but your own bursts daze your spirit
What is this image heart sibling
that takes hues to shades
simple to complicated
Won't you hold...
Just a minute...
An hour...
A day...
So I can see you.

New, borrowed, blue.

Droplets of myself. Coloured. Tainted. Falling all around me. I know not the fantasy from the reality In being boundless I am still half-caste My desires, world, truth. Blended… Droplets of myself.

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...

Bitterness

# BlackBeforeBurstsofOrange Your bitterness reaches into me in threadlike waves... Feeling around in my mind like antennae seeking out the weakness and fear, poking and prodding with fierce decision How can I battle an evil that rings such truth? Truth that lies beneath the scab of my seemingly fresh wounds, wounds once gaping tearing my insides with the intensity of their pain You seek to open them anew Awaken the void beneath them so it may swallow me whole and regurgitate me covered in bitterness and hate Bring back what once was... Throw away years of patchwork and seasons of re layering heaping myself in a stable facade Isn't it enough that no one sees me through the murk? Your bitterness reaches into me in threadlike waves... weaving in and out of  my subconscious leaving wispy emotion evoking thoughts in their wake thoughts and emotions that bring me to the point of ripping the scabs off myself The void may consume me but in chaos there is the calm of ...
