Poem #25: "Icarus"

"Icarus"

when i fly
i free my mind of chains
internal fire
to disconnect from mortal gains

when i fly
i seem to walk between
two worlds
the pain impossible, unseen

when i fly i seem
my awareness to dissolve
from this world, a disconnect
between mind and heart to absolve

to free
from unseen guilt
that blankets my soul,
like a thickened quilt

from unresolved
traumas, forgotten tears
that come up
to undissolved fears

to fix
my needed
disconnection
seeded

by darkness of a void
internal fire too intense
for me so i fly
away from the immense

heat - or cold, stare
of a world unsuspecting
that a soul is overcome
by darkness, and disconnecting

when i fly, my mind
is not of gratitude but lust
my plastic face may not express this, but
for me to escape, it's a must

that i find peace within when
my internal flame still burns
i fly because this way,
the world around me turns

into paradise - or so i think,
so when i fly into my place
i lust for loving peace
to shine into my heart-space

or i disconnect. i cannot handle
the pain, so when i fly
i look for love or a little
inside, i die.

Poem #24: "You Are An Angel"

"You Are An Angel"

they say
you are an angel
you may not think it
but i've seen your
wings and how your love
radiates brightly from behind them

they say
that words are hurdles
but as if past traumas would just
never come alive again--
i've seen you stumble
on your own mental
punctuation

they say
"they've stolen your light"
like life and how it may leave soon
though i've seen your rugged body
but its age cannot erase the simply ageless
memory of your bright smile

i've seen you stumble
on your own mental
punctuation
but as you stumble you'd
always get up again, your eyes
releasing rivers of old words
suddenly oceans of past
traumas that welled up
the weight of two seas
suddenly gone, one for each
of your beautiful
eyes

they say
you are an angel
you may not think it
but i've seen how your perfect
love always outshines
all the pain and hurt you feel

i've seen you stumble
as your eyes
release oceans of old
words pent up --
your pain
would fall
as teardrops
down to the ground
below

if you feel the need
just spread your wings
and cry -- remember

the glistening leaves
down below
as they accept your love
will sprout
and grow
