XIV. About Face

In between fleeting moments

of frustration,

in a void of heartache

letting go,

letting be

suddenly

becomes a viable option

for both lovers

 

star crossed

no longer

–about face–

and walk closer,

step

by step

to each other.

 

XIII. Encampment

She made camp,
Hopeful.

Now, analyzing
Every inch of island,
Circling,
Starved, sleepless,

determined,
alone,
crazed,
erratic,
hopeful.

Hope, he will still
Love her that way.

On her way back to camp,

she attempts to reassemble
self.

Dialectic, in Peace and Love

2.18.17

Away from you,

With me,
Still,
a piece
of you
Keeps me striving
To be
a better Me.

The Piece- a memory
Keeps me awake,
Unwilling
To settle for less
Than tomorrow
And judgement-free me
I neither hear,
Nor see you
But knowing
You are
You were
You are possible, just to be
Keeps me in motion
Balancing
wiser,
As my self.

I thank you
From my
Crescent top
Back
And forth
Up and down,
And still
I’ll rise
Out of sight
Even still
Your memory
Reminds me
Of the proven possibility,
Of peace,
peace with, and within
me

Essence

2.11.17

Reborn by the shore
Reciting self
into existence,

a Goddess
at birth
never knowing
her self,

until tides
crash
and whisper
her foam memories.

She now knows.

She is collected,
at peace

walking,
accepting
moving

toward
and into
the light,

to be
in,
and
the essence
of self.
