just out of reach of the now
echoes in the depths
set her heart aflame
even as her soul is on fire
amid a rain of ashes
ghosts speak the truth
about the burning night skies
and she holds tight
to the last edges of reason
"memories soaked in gasoline"

slowly overcoming the polished lies
learning to trust again
breathing
just breathing
as dreams fall in a cascade of sapphire
thru my sleeping mind
waiting
simply waiting
for love to speak to me once more

down the rabbit hole
the curious girl fell
emerging in another world
this is a story we know well
oh Alice
sweet Alice
madder than the Hatter
& crazier than the Queen
how many nightmares
have you slain?

The way light lays across her skin, reminiscent of the look in his eyes, softer, more personal, an intimate caress of connected heartbeats. The slide of shadows, like his lips tracing poetry along her veins, a need, a want, neither can deny.

This journey, it's been long, but this road I'm on I've got to trust will eventually lead me home. Every mile, every hour, has been measured against the finite strength remaining, I'm weary beyond belief, but still I keep going.

that is the survivor's strength
rage inside love
harvesting balance
from the seeds
of both destruction and hope
planted when pain
furrowed the ground of the soul
and from it grows
a steel will wrapped in scarred skin
this... this is how a ghost
learns how to live again

his kindness
my refuge
so sweetly he muses
wrapping me in words

when you release your fears
the transformation can be
nothing short of transcendental
when you embrace your inner strength
there is no longer a prison to contain you

It takes a certain kind of strength to handle my kind of crazy... many have tried, the crash and burn wasn't pretty.

It begins slowly, a lovers' rhythm, building intricately towards a crescendo even the seraphim envy. Strength to strength, note upon note, until the moon is left begging for the final crashing howl. It ends with bodies entwined, hearts in perfect sync.

therein contained
all the strength in the land

strength long ago
gave way to stubbornness
continuing to exist
it's almost Shelley-esque
in its tragedy
life perpetually in stasis
waiting for the lightning
that never comes

there is strength in resilience
in remembering one's path
it may often change direction
but the journey teaches us
to understand why
to accept that the destination
isn't ultimately what it's all about
it's who we become along the way
