POETRY by Miartisme

When the new year came, I thought I'd be free

I took some time out to see who is me.

I closed all the doors and locked them up tight

Stood in the darkness away from the light.

And no kiss touched my lips or hand caressed my skin

Yes, craving love but I committed no sin.

Long ago hunted, I ran and fell, hit my shin

Now there is a crack where the pain comes in.

But even through the soreness and terrible pain

and even through the memories of the dreary and drenching rain,

A rainbow of colors wrapped me in a wet misty dew

brought by healing sunbeams and I am no longer just blue.

And in darkness of the night, I will dance in the face of the moon

to a symphony in my mind, a mad and glorious tune.

I'll hold the earth at my side and smell the woodland glade,

Face the sun's warmth away from the shade

perched on a rocky mount where eagles soar.

I think it is time to unlock the locks and open the doors,

And let the sadness and pain drain away,

Heal the cracks so I can go outside to play.

But what ponders me is who will be you who longs for my love,

Whose words are soft and gentle as a dove.

I feel your energy somewhere, somehow drawing me,

Will we unite someday or will I stay alone, just me?
