Together, we’re on it.
We become that sparkle in
anothers’s eye,
savored like warm autumn sunlight.

Colors are blooming,
on our canvasses,
set aside,
splashing along our stolen sky.

You were promised the moon,
then, set aside,
one last time.

We’ve defied odds,
healed over licked open wounds,
and challenged our demons,
physical and mental.

Healing isn’t all there is left.

We’re so much more than
a bag of skin and bones.

We feel it on our eyes,
our art,
our connections,
our love.

We adorn our love,
the same way the emperor did,
unabashedly naked and unafraid.

We’re bleeding hearts,
inviting the world to share
in our healing.

    Healing can be so hard in a world that somehow revels in the pain while refusing to acknowledge it at the same time.

    It’s like you have to walk a tightrope whenever you speak.

    Those days, I need you. Even galaxies away, a part of me holds on to knowing your star is there.

    Latent hearts in a single conjugated verb where to coincide is to find yourself in the same communion because in the end there will always be someone with whom you can feel and experience your fears and insecurities, as well as your achievements and joys. Beautiful poem. I loved it. Congratulations, poet. 🤗🤗
