The Death of Longing
I run to him.
Pulling shield from hand,
it clatters to ground.
A cacophony of dissolution.
‘I have loved you since the beginning of that which we call time.
Longed for you in unfathomable renditions.
Across and through infinite spaces.
Come home to me.
Be still with me. Until the finite too dissolves.
Until the ‘we’ dissipates into the beat of all that is.‘
In silence,
I chase no more.
I cease disarmament.
I sit.
I listen.
I love.

Love and pain reside in our deepest being. The ink flows when the emotions are channelled and set free. Only when we perceive them purely and unequivocally as they are for us, do we give birth to the words. The pen is just an instrument. You have laid bare very deep emotions here. J

🙏🏽... So, so true. This pen had gone dry the last several months as I move towards a space beyond words. I am very happy they are slowly re-emerging/integrating. :) R.

I've been there and I am still trying to come back. I haven't written much in weeks. I feel as if I were paralised from the chest up. It will come back, have faith. J

Love and light on your journey. They tend to come back, in my experience, at exactly the right time. 🕉♥️, R.

i share the Feel of longing love
more apt as missing terribly
Beautifully spilled

Beautifully spilled
♥️.... This one didn’t feel as melancholy as that when I spilled (a feeling I know we both know too well). More as a poignant beginning of the accepting of what is, (whatever is!) as beautiful in its own right... i so love how poetry finds the reader on their own path as much as lighting the writer’s own...
Hugs to you, dear Tallen.
