in love, poetry Tags: come out, dark, lavender, needing, poetry, silence, waiting
In my bones and in the way my blood flows
Deep heat waiting
Calling me in
From the cold
Years, months, days
Dissolve on my lips
10 minutes from home
Words don’t come out
And the radio screams into the night
Love songs of yesterday
Once again pushed away
Into that growing silence
Wanting, waiting, needing
To be explained
Another day.

Dear Rumi,
Centuries later,
You have made me cry,
For I too have been here since the dawn of time,
Absorbing essence of light and dark, soil and sky,
But the word,
Your words,
Read from ancient scrolls
Left me bleeding with the thorns of roses wanting more,
Pleading for the universe to make my words eternal,
For my passion, like yours, to last forever,
In hunger, in longing, in forgiveness and in letting go,
To carry this heavy burden of love, in beauty,
Like you,
A brilliant flower garden in the cyclical budding of time,
In grief, and in joy,
for all the universe to hear and feel and love,
That timeless heartbeat aching to be free
Yet wanting to be captured
By her, by me, by infinite melody.
For Noora, Who Inspires,
