“feelings we hide” i read
pondering the idiom of reality in this context
we are what we hide and why is it feelings that surface under neither
why keep them under, shuddered away from the light,
why, i wonder, such truth in hinderance
only disconnection is heard in the silence and yet it persists
inevitable almost it seems, where is the escape i ask
where can i move away from this isolation
im exhausted of it
drained completely as i am not being refilled with love
i want to digest everything that i am so that i may be filled
so hinderance be gone i scream
violently into the dark of night
be gone, body ride yourself of fear that entraps you
you are not worthy of this disconnection
stop hurting me i plead
love me i scream
open up
remove yourself from hiding
step into the light
step into love
step into truth
allowing love to seep into your bones creates a sensation in the body that feels unfamiliar. it feels foreign and strange, tangled up in cobwebs.
but when it does, when it butts its head and refuses to give up, refuses to go away, the cobwebs are blown away from the gust of wind whipping through the open window.
its refreshing.
you can finally take a breath.
and that breath that you take, reminds you of all the times in which you were breathing but you weren't filling up your body with breath.
the breath brings you into the moment, its the ticket to the present.
and love,
well love is the catalyst, its the spark that starts the flame.
the deep seated desire to feel the breath permeate into the bones.
in the process, clearing away all of the cobwebs,
bringing air
life,
everything.
you become entranced with the moment entirely, all observant of what is transpiring. what is unfolding and
HOW THAT FEELS.
how does it feel?
how does it feel to let the breeze in, to feel it
feel drift across your skin
dancing along the fragile line of physical reality and internal condition
what sensations are revived when you feel that, when you let that breeze seep through the skin into the muscles and down to the bones and into the body
how do you feel when you let the wind of love sweep over you, through your windows and doors to clear out the cobwebs,
how do you feel
i feel weightless
like a feather drifting
dancing and floating
alive, in the moment
here
the weight of wind presses into my skin and rips into my bones and i am shaken
shaken to my core, transcending the belief that there is anything else, anything else but this floating

Artwork @rahiem_milton Poetry:brothers_poetry: "Planet X Jump into space now, looking in your eyes as we glide to the side with a vibe. Can't wait now, you open my mind to another side as I'm in awe but you drop jaws with knowledge from a far. My thoughts tweaking as your speaking, so I can't be believing anything that I'm seeing. Baffled in amusement, yet you choose to cruise through like we're hydroplaning... High off you, so we cruise for a few in my views like a rear view. politicking views about six or nine, maybe these facts will change our lives so I vibe like the skies in your eyes.
