Colors seem blind,
wind has no hue
you look deep
and no sound
turns soul
back into loving arms,
higher than anger
or the loss,
you swim inside an ocean
darker in daytime,
hungry beyond compassion.
***
Can you come on the shore,
do you dare leave
a lake of tears in your wake
drops of redemption
waiting steps,
reaching sunshine
is letting go
of the undead,
your ghosts stay buried
undying, ever after
claws will not graze heart
and your spirit
reigns free
with sunny flowers.
***
Home dwells in ivy
how did you lose the way
where was the rope
to hold onto
last bit of hope?
Hearken the roar,
steer your will,
this sea of loss
is not the end
what was taken apart
can come back
in a rainbow,
don't give up on your soul,
it may be the last thing you see
before you cross
into another land,
before you know
what redemption
was meant
to bring.
***
If this world or the next
holds more of you
than dark desire,
don't stray into another marsh,
don't strangle
all good wishes.
***
Silver strings hold each butterfly,
they don't know how to swim,
breath leaves a wish
when scorn
comes close,
unfolds cold wind,
no corner,
and no dawn
inside a mirror full of loathing,
your dreams fail slowly
at another's hand.
***
Don't give up on last chance
to go into the light,
don't shred your soul,
laughter holds final secret
to moonbeams, bridge
in smiling, you go on,
in loving,
you set free
your heart.
