Amateur poet hoping to work the courage and confidence to publish one day, enjoy! 😁
Madonna Gein
Once chaser of the sun,
now resident of frosted twilight.
Once waited for another to make their #dawn mine,
now I listen to the questions of the dark.
Each answer I give,
a candle until my own Sol glows.
None yet lit,
this biting night,
the mirror
revealing my
I don't know.

For too long I have bled
my hours into hands that were not mine,
synchronized my life to tides
that never honored my name.
My soul aches,
fierce and holy,
to return,
to stand alone,
toes in the #sand,
and feel each salted breeze
belong only to me.

They silenced Juniper's own hymns too holy for the carried air.
Now grief prowls #feral through our streets,
teeth bared for justice.
May this world grow unlivable for those who make saints of cruelty
and graves of divinely beautiful trans souls like hers.

How do I navigate without a North Star?
The entire sky taken with it.
No map,
no compass.
Surrounded by the #deadfall of everything
that held beauty and meaning.
Maybe now I just feel
the detritus beneath my feet,
let them chant their psalms,
and lead me to
I don't know.

To be summer with winter in the chest,
I stoke what little warmth remains dear,
a breathless #mother to these fragile embers,
cradling my haunted arctic sanctums
beneath blush, laughter and smiles insincere.
Is this how I must preserve?
I don't know but I pray anyway.

"I don't know"
A terrifying answer to questions everything hangs on
Precious things broken for a clearer reply only to be left with the panic of "I don't know"
"I don't know" is the emptiness I must sit and find ground to stand regardless of what's beyond the veil of "I don't know"

Juniper's beautiful voice,
now we have a choice
to sing your Blessing louder.

I awaken heavy
with the weight of an entire #forbidden lost world
cradled within my ribcage.
Each weakened breath
a muting between chasms.
I enshroud this vacuous detritus
in pigment and thread.
My scent of jasmine obfuscating
the I don't know
I carry.

She faced the gates of trials,
tall, brave and bright.
A villain seeking redemption,
every obstacle made to break.
Knees crushed,
unable to rise,
she begs for mercy,
while still unworthy.
If a villain isn't redeemed,
annihilation?
Who then would write #letters of admiration to her?
#poetry #vss365
In my spiritual rest I dream and yearn,
destiny,
the moment you fall to one knee,
ocean eyes full of a love that found me across lifetimes.
A #ring held like a promise the universe fought to keep,
your voice confidently chooses me,
and in that breath,
I finally come home.
