We Are Intertwined

We sling lies

We spew venom

We crawl with the snakes

We scurry with the creatures

Of the emotional night

And Yet

For all the imagined poison

For all the imagined electrocutions

For all the imagined executions

Of my heart

Of their hearts

Of your heart

I remain in love

With your soul

Knowing you

I know me

Knowing we came from the same

Universal womb

Knowing we are one

Knowing we all have pain

Knowing we all have fears

Knowing – accepting

You will always remain

My brother

My sister

My kin

We are intertwined

Beyond thought

Your sufferings

Become my sufferings

And my reach for Love

Becomes your reach for love

We are one

Here

Now

Forever

My Burdened Heart

Beneath cold skies of night

My heart beats

Grasping to survive

Trying to not drown

In tears

Quietly I slip into velvet

Blackness

Cold air

Caresses my thoughts

I’m suffocating

Loss of hope

Forgotten dreams

Faith disappears

In the morrow

I’m crushed

Again

My burdened heart

Barely beats

My burdened heart

Beats toward

Nothingness

Nothing becomes safer

Than something

Absent moments

Collide with fears

I’ve no strength

Cold skies of night

Dressed in velvet darkness

Have stolen

My hope

My grace

My faith
