Description
My feminine side is death, she tells me
Without emphasis, evenly accepting
The darkness she casts in flickering
changeling shadows
To obscure her luminous true nature.
I need someone like this to light the dark corners
and love me continuously, she says
…But together, I see them as the sea
She is the yin to your yang, I tell her
Each crest lit from within on moonless nights
Water afire caught forever
In moments of opal.
I am caught in a riptide, she says
I feel the weight of responsibility all the time
And so I tell her what I see so well:
Your life will never be clearly defined or easy to explain
But it will be YOUR creation
It's not a path that has been trodden before
But trust your heart and your feet
You are going where you need to go.
…I see the beauty you have painted
In your own blood.
