Light of the Earth, Paragon of the World
a love poem based on Michelangelo's love for the Italian nobleman, Tommaso dei Cavalieri
Light of the earth
Paragon of the world
Two paths without collision
but both were faltered
Briefly disturbed like a flutter in a heartbeat
But predisposed to keep beating.
Play in a rythme but tolerate no key
The melody sweet but also bitter
Each note colliding with one another
Like stars in a newborn galaxy.
Broken lines drawn in a rage
Unbridled joy paired with pain
Sweet longing and bittersweet desperation
Like the song that breaks when breathed.
Pulled like the dying
Pull the string in fate’s hand
Out of the lungs of the two
Who desires to proclaim it the most.
Pray Our Lady's hand reach out and give them clarity
But secretly wish that she stay away
Of the two paths so cursed to falter
But not so lucky as to collide
Light of the earth
Paragon of the world

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
