Goodbye

In I leaped, with honesty
a growing heart
and a bright full mind.
I jumped and gave enormously
into the ocean of a new life.
The old pieces cracked away
fresh vision, fresh spice overflowed.

And yes, from the time of conception
you have disappointed me more then once
and yes, I have forgiven
Moved forward, more then twice.
I have loved you,
with an explosive heart
I have kissed you,
with a passionate soul.

But I stand here today
not to beg for your heart
nor to discount the truly magical moments
only our two hearts have known.
no, I stand here today
with the gift of freedom.

I thank you, for all of the lessons you have meet my heart with
Thank you, for the passion I have thrived in.
Please don't think, my heart doesn't bleed when it turns to leave
and don't think, my mind will not visit you frequently.
I shall continue on the path of honesty
with hope that you may too.
For if distance is what you truly desire
I will have to say to you now
my true love,
Goodbye.

Is it safe to feel?

Yes it is safe to sit in one spot
draw a chalk circle around yourself
close your eyes and uncross your heart.
Reflect this time, on what feelings are.
Things you may not wish to feel,
you think to say, but are not sure to believe.
Yes,
hop into a pool full of hungry hammerheads,
dig deep into the sand,
and still find a few more angry places.

But,
don't just reason with logic
and don't just move with your heart in your hand
do both
or do neither
for either or, will put you in a place that walks with danger.

Have you not seen the glimmer of hope?

There is a whole in my heart,
and it bleeds tears for you.
It wants to weep the pain away,
it grips to hold your fears at bay.
It asks
Have you not seen the glimmer of hope?
That sparkle in the corner
of the deeply sorrow filled dark dark room?
No, you say
stuck in a corner of yourself you can not escape
you keep digging, but never find that space.

I will search for you
I will look for your hope
I will be the madness
I will take the sadness
I will search for that day
some day, soon
when you will look down and say
It was nice to get out of the hole
today.
