Walking with intent

Words whispered in hushed voices snaked their way through the dark.
Carefully built walls, torn apart in love’s destructive wake; unprotected souls
Playing in my natural light, dancing in your darkness, contaminating one with the other.
No one is protected, no one is safe, neither emerge unscathed.

Walking out of the darkness, mine ideas previously unknown,
Grown from Love’s broken whispers, Her fractured mind
Harboring demons of her own, living, growing up with her, inside;
These new skeletons join the demon to shout in my mind,
Raging, Ravaging, Demanding, they be realized.

Embracing them, caging them, balancing on a knife’s edge,
Hoping the pressure doesn’t make the blade sharp enough to kill.
Demons changing, resting or raging, always contained in the cells of my mind;
Living behind black, hungry eyes, a bright soul lit aflame by love’s desperate spark.
In such blinding brightness, through all consuming darkness,
The world is realized.

Leaves shimmer in the wind of solar rays, painted by autumn.
I stare, and I remember moments - lost in my mind feel like hours,
Hours whisked away: forgotten in a moment; life’s a dream, and the world’s a stage..
