Naked

I stood here

stripped of everything

once

holy to my soul

wild and vulnerable

free and growing

never knowing

how quickly time passed

when life is naked

as it was born

unweighted

by threads of fear

and i fell in love

for the first time

Finding the Road

I was a dear

Blinded by your light

Confused

Just

Trying to cross

Over

Into something

Safe and natural

Those three words

Almost destroyed me

Almost

Splattered my heart

Across a stream

Of tears

I did not shed

Aloud

For lovely creatures

Only scream in agony

And lucky me

Our final kiss

Snuffed your light

And released me

2009

The year was 2009
in and out of love
3 times
I cried
Once
For fantastic promises
Broken by reality
Once
For mistakenly gifting
My lucky charm
And once
For the loss
Of great possibility
But
Do not fret
For the year was 2009
And I
was
in and out of love
3 times
