under stained glass - with Indie
Can you feel my hand
pressed against this stained glass pane
waiting for sunshine
All of these sepia rainbows
will fill with technicolour
But today is blue
with pearlescent undertones
reflecting the glass
shards of you still seep through it
I can feel your radiance
A new dawn rising
like the first breath after midnight
everything comes alive again
Your breath, my breath; sanctuary
glass cracking with your heartbeat
Shattered, I cut my
own shoulders reaching for yours
reimagining
tasting the way light reflects
on your prismatic beauty
Sunlit skin collides
shadows disperse like burned ghosts
your embrace is holy
Technicolour seeps through, lights us
Goddesses under stained glass
pressed against this stained glass pane
waiting for sunshine
All of these sepia rainbows
will fill with technicolour
But today is blue
with pearlescent undertones
reflecting the glass
shards of you still seep through it
I can feel your radiance
A new dawn rising
like the first breath after midnight
everything comes alive again
Your breath, my breath; sanctuary
glass cracking with your heartbeat
Shattered, I cut my
own shoulders reaching for yours
reimagining
tasting the way light reflects
on your prismatic beauty
Sunlit skin collides
shadows disperse like burned ghosts
your embrace is holy
Technicolour seeps through, lights us
Goddesses under stained glass

I think we found the rainbow with this one. Bring on the sunshine, even if it's just for a moment. Thank you again for writing this with me. It's so perfect.

Dear B and I,
I think you two have become one. The voicing is seamless and so beautifully cohesive. The style of the poem being specific and the subject matter so tender this is an outstanding example of working togetherness. Excellent writing and I wish you both all the best for this comp. H🌷

Thank you my friend. It’s all Indie, she’s a true craftsman in the art. I appreciate the kind feedback.

I knew what this was going to be like the moment I read both your names! What I loved the most about the presentation was the lack of intentional designation of who wrote what!
Beautifully done! Good luck in the comp!

Thank you!!! I’m literally a little giddy because it is so great. I think Indie already said it, but damn, if I didn’t know what I wrote I wouldn’t know who did what.
It was really a beautiful moment to inhale. Thank you for being here for it.

A stunning collaboration. As it has already been said, seamless. I really cannot see the join, from one to the other. The colours are beautiful.
This is so peaceful and sigh worthy. I would love to hear it read.
Well done to both of you. Fantastic 🥰

Mags! Thank you, beauty.
I love that idea for this! My voice is like a stuttering ogre on crack I’d scare small children and pets, but I’d love to hear Indie read it .(hint hint… wink wink… nudge nudge)
