She looked at me

Through me
No
No no
She looked into me
Deeply
She looked into me
Into a place
No one had looked before

Harmonious Lines
I find harmony
In places unexpected
A dirty, broken alley
Amid the smells
Of misery and death
In places unexpected
A dirty, broken alley
Amid the smells
Of misery and death
Scrawled there
In pigment
And love
Arcs and lines
A language of hope
And possibility
Walls
I erected walls
To keep my darkness contained
To keep me safe inside
To keep the searing light out
To keep my darkness contained
To keep me safe inside
To keep the searing light out
The light
It hurt too much
I saw too much
I felt too much
Darkness was cool
Darkness was painless
Darkness was sightless
Darkness was easy
Shadow ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #52
Meeting my shadow
Surprised me
Not for his darkness
Nor for his pain and scars
Surprised me
Not for his darkness
Nor for his pain and scars
He is a shadow
That is his essence
It surprised me
That I admired him
For his perseverance
For his tenacity
For his will to exist
For his endurance
Fire and Light
I am learning
The difference between
Fire and Light
The difference between
Fire and Light
One burns
The other illuminates
One is zealotry
The other is passion
One is hubris
The other is clarity
One is seduction
The other is insight

Butterfly
The light streamed into the room
Like butterfly wings
And I couldn’t tell
Which was the more sensuous caress
Like butterfly wings
And I couldn’t tell
Which was the more sensuous caress
The warm, dappled sunshine on my cheek
The cool, fragrant breeze rippling my hair
Or the way her fingertips
Lightly traced the nouveau shadows
Playing across my abdomen
Endurance and Change
I love what has endured
Through the trials of time
Through the efforts of grace and love
Through the trials of time
Through the efforts of grace and love
I love more what will change
The injustices which endured
Through the long history
Of intransigent ignorance
And self-interest
But have no place
In a conscious society
In another time
In another time
When the ships sailed in
And the ore shipped out
When the ships sailed in
And the ore shipped out
In another time
When the pier was planked
And we sailors came
In another time
Oh so long ago
In a world now lost
Portrait of Happiness
In a city of
Greys and dust
And muted blues
A young smile
Comes to me
“Take my picture”
She says
Then stands there
Happy and poised
In vivid red
