brenda

     
*    
     
my fierceness fading    
retreating into the shadows    
no longer needed armor    
that has grown rusty      
from lack of use    
     
I used to bite, slash and kill with my words    
wondering where Crimsin has wandered off too    
feeling naked without her, vulnerable      
the gentle nature of brenda frightening    
     
two sides of the same coin    
though very different beasts    
my alter ego my protector    
gave me courage when I had none    
     
*    
     
you will find me in the mists    
settling over the calm waters    
dancing, swirling, cascading    
     
spreading wings that are thick with dust    
not being used for some years    
taking flight into the ether    
     
kissing your souls tenderly    
as I descend atop mountains    
the forests my home    
     
*    
     
~the thug side of me    
left in the streets    
a hardened face no longer needed~    
     
*    
     
yielding to the powers that be    
knowing what is needed    
I offer you succor    
     
you've let me drink from your golden chalice    
sweet wine without any dregs    
     
walk with me by the still waters    
let your mind have peace on this morn    
as our beings lie on the mossy beds of contentment      
taking shelter amongst the ferns of self acceptance
