08.22 (48x36 original acrylic)) "Above my bed"

I've been with you long enough to know every hair on your head has a place.

That your smile isn't always genuine but your heart is pure as the driven snow.

Yet sometimes just as cold

But I don't mind weathering storms.

Your love for me cuts through the air like bolts of lightning hurled from Olympus. Finding me in darkness, revealing the way out. 

We dance on the fault lines of who we once were & I've been with you long enough to realize there are no prisoners I need to take here. -kirkshiresloss-

//Anemoia//

Time passes and with it tiny grains of what we were slip through our fingers. I often wonder if the days seem as interminable to you as they have to me. If my name brings about a saudade feeling. Lately I've been doing so little to guard against the invasion of your memory. These walls were always meant to come down by your hand. I'm sure you would call this healing..

why does healing have to be so dire; why does hope sting? I can still endure the memory of a fistful of life, I can welcome death, but I can't stand the thought of you still believing behind your faithless dread; please make me distrust you some more, free me from you.

The longing is palpable across this great divide, and although I haven't let go, doesn't mean I won't. Godless I may be, but not heartless. I'll cut these chains tonight and free you. Someday i hope to understand why fire has to devour everything in it's path in order to stay alive...

(Calypso)

She's black clouds rolling

Lightning strikes drawing near

midnight tempest

Tearing through my world

on her path of totality

I do not seek cover

For those gale force winds are my salvation

My peace...

A rogue Zephyr

an irrevocable change

Forever embraced

in the vortex of her love. -fated

04.21 Original Acrylic on 20x24 canvas

(the rose)

Do you remember the night resentment moved in? When love went out for milk & Marlboros but never came back.

What If all your life apples were your favorite food

You ate them everyday

But then one day someone told you those weren't apples

That they weren't sweet

That they weren't red yellow or green

That you knew nothing of apples

Ofcourse this causes you waves of emotional turmoil.

But when you look behind you

in every direction

Rows and rows of fruitless trees

as far as your eyes can see

Indeed, you've been eating them wrong all along

and they weren't apples afterall

That's how I feel

But I never knew until it was too late . -fated

(Mardi gras)

Listing my

weakness

torn from

forgiveness

a life once

in pieces

A story untold

Introspection

Bears witness

Enslaved

To convictions

Notoriously

Unmentioned

God save my soul. -fated
