Broken Light



Some call it wisdom, some call it philosophical, some call it pretentious rubbish. Me, I am just a bit relieved that there are still words left that I deem worthy to share with the world.

To feel hope means letting go of the harrowing thoughts inside of me
If I were a painter, I would paint an open cage
If I were a poet, I would write words that made sense
But I am just a jester floating on lilac light
Feeling hope means remembering the broken fragments residing in me

First poem of the year.
Allow me to be awake in your dreams, for seven seconds only; or until the new day begins. It is the only place where I am safe and can breathe without fear of suffocating.
If I was able to sleep, I would dream of a blink in an eye when your colour seeps into mine. Light and love fill every part of my being. One last time before everything changes. All the things we used to have and used to be... Nothing. Everything. A fantasy that becomes reality. High up in my tower, I left parts of me to turn into a spirit that is holding your hand and is cradling your tired mind. But I don't sleep. I will never fall asleep again.
If I could live without you and go where my mind wants to send me, darkness would be my comforting blanket. But I cannot breathe without you, and my heart keeps racing into your arms, where I find a love so strong that everything feels like a new sunrise.

Through the shadows of the trees shines the moon for you and me
It guides us on our path over mountains and seas
Your hand in mine and all the emotions in your eyes
Starfall over night thoughts, and we walk through the rain
Every moment we experience has a reason and a meaning
For my love grows every time our souls and bodies are entwined.

Little by little the moon shines brighter in her eyes
Even though the sun lives as a shadow by her side
She cannot outrun the dreams that wake her up at night
But she is not alone, she has someone to hold her tight.
I want to strip myself bare of every thought and every dream
Until I feel the kiss of the crisp winter’s breath.
Could I slip out of my skin and into your mind?
The maelstrom of unspoken words turns into our lost story.
Face it; this is who we are
Standing on the ledge
Threatening to fall
Into each other’s hearts.
One step and we will fly
Through the clouds
Spread wings
Catching us in the wind.
I will not leave you there
Hiding in the dark
Ashamed of who you are
I see you, honest and bare.
Don’t leave me here
I can’t do this on my own
All I want is to hold you
And to kiss away those tears.
I drove into the unknown
Hiding under rainbow bridges
If I had known my destination
I would have… No! Never mind.
The wind kissing my feathers
Sent me farther and farther
Away from myself.
The moon was burning
And the sun felt cold
But I kept swimming on clouds.
Shadows hugged me like a blanket
And the rain caressed my naked skin
I should have given up, but I couldn’t.
In a river of silent gold,
my stone heart melted.
The reflection changed
yet stayed the same.
A whirlwind of thoughts tried to trick me
Into running and hiding away
But I had arrived and reached the end
I was there; there where I belonged.
I breathed the free air and
listened to the thunderstorm.
In my own arms, I had found it;
The one thing that kept
slipping through my fingers
I found my mind’s elusive peace there.
One moment.
All it took was one moment for us to fall in lust. It took many more moments to fall in love. ❤
Give me thirty seconds to look into your eyes. Thirty seconds will suffice. Give me thirty seconds, and you will see. Thirty seconds and you will fall for me. Give me thirty seconds to change your world. Thirty seconds; I will give it a whirl. Give me thirty seconds and look into my eyes. Thirty seconds to see my love and everything it implies.
All around me are hands
Grabbing hands
Taking what I have to offer
Taking more.
All.
All around me are voices
Nagging voices
Making me believe untruths
Making me believe
Everything
All around me are souls
Lost souls
Trying to find their way home
Trying to find
Happiness
All around me are liars
Fucking liars
Burning with their words
Burning the city
Down.
All around me are versions of myself
Versions of who I could be
Too self-conscious to be who I am
Too self-conscious
To live
All around me are reasons to stay alive
Reasons to exist
Making me resist those crippling thoughts
Making me persist.
Stay.
All around me…
… But I should find everything inside my self.
Lust
Trust
Love
Rust
Lost
My heart is bursting into flames.
