Life force

By Elaine McGintyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
Life Force

Black Hole

And red scream

Unlocks

Love

The type that breaks down doors

And rips its own heart out

To save beloved from pain

Green again to heal

Rose heart to feel

Lips cheeks nipples

All the things

Marked for kisses

Words and nourishment

Yellow sun on eyelids

Colour warms the soul

Green blue of sea

To take them safely away

To lands where they are told

The streets are paved with gold

And the bread baskets overflow

Moments suspended in growth

Blue of truth

The realisation of untrammelled youth

They give and give

And ever on to silver

Uncoils how we live

Wisdom ever flares

Delicate frailty shiver

To black hole

And warm darkness

To be again

Clear consciousness

Growing

To be again
