The Spins

Overwhelmed by a mind
cascading with
slivers of silver.

Now falling onto me:
the laws of physics,
the power of gravity.

The spinning and shifting
of our Earth taking place
merely inside my head.

I tell myself: 
Slow
down.


Only need
one foot on the ground
to stop the hurried rush.

Guardian

Muscles of Antartic shiver,
filled to the brim with Moroccan air.
Hostility, in the eyes of the beholder,
the same which encompass love,
or is it nothing more than a fisher
and his line?

Now it's a boiling kettle,
eyes fixed, finger hugging the trigger.
There must be self salvation.
There must be a way to dance in the street,
with nothing but an umbrella
and the energy of my inner child.

Self conscious ways
lead to an unconscious heart.
It's time to take a risk,
otherwise time will only take you.

Listen close, my dear.
I am the power inside of you,
the voice that calms your gun motored heart,
calms your worried eyes into pretentious sleep.

I have seen the ways you have struggled,
as if you were a player, who didn't know the game.
I saw you when life was nothing but a string,
with scissors held close. I've seen the stranger
about to snip the line.
I'm glad you heard me.

You may not know my reasons,
why I accompany such a splintered soul,
but it is because you have not yet acknowledged,
the presence of the pieces, the ability to be
better than you ever imagined.

I am in love with your fragile soul.
Beneath it all, I see the heart
far bigger than most have.
I feel the pain, launching tears
forward like a worried rain,
yet I want to hold the sun
and dry them.


Darling, you may feel so alone,
but you have never been so surrounded

by all of those saints you cannot see.
