Jack said to Sally, “I am yours forever”
I have no doubt he’s got her back
she leans into him, safe
in their existence
💜
The worst of my emotional turmoil
has taken a calculated step back
from that precipice – my Abyss
I now have my feet planted firmly
on this beautiful earth of ours
My man has had a breakthrough too
He is as strong as an Ox, spiritually
speaking, he came to me
shared & bared his most dangerous
depths, in that moment, I was lifted
& my heart rose to meld with his
Cancer became the Rabbit
& Rabbit overcame his Cancer
I sank into his soft silky skin
breathing him in, his musk – fragrant
His trust rekindling all hope
I saw him in that moment, solid
stoic, replenished & I am his witness
Faith & love; Trust & kindness
Honesty is something else to behold
together our voices sing synchronicity,
we no longer fear – death
Hades has been defeated, cheated
I slurp it up now, that Pomegranate
juice splashing my face, devoured
We look forward to the future
with another kind of sixth sense
Letting go, we accept our fate
with a new, gratifying lust for life
a new found freedom
a new way of being
having found what others fail
to recognize
I’m so proud of my man
I’m so proud of me
I’m so proud of our family
& that’s all that we need – love

Thank you Michael…you can’t expect Roses all the time :-). Life’s not like that and I don’t like to pretend it is. My darker poems are just as valid as they are also parts of myself and my journey. Just because they are chaotic or dark, doesn’t mean that they are less deserving of comment, empathy or compassion. I love reading your comments:-)
