Truth

Posted in Poetry with tags , , , on February 28, 2015 by becciseaborne

Difference 2– • –

 

I found my way;

More bearable than your way.

My way has no stopwatch,

No expectant blank page,

No closed door.

 

My way has spaces,

Open windows,

Gaps, loops, connections, cracks.

 

I found my way;

My way has truth,

My way has me.

 

I found my way;

More bearable than your way.

My way has no checking,

No assumptions,

No answers.

 

My way has openings,

Uncertainty,

Opportunity, questions, choice.

 

I found my way;

My way has truth,

My way has me.

Refraction

Dark Beauty by Miumi-U– • –

Soul splitting rush

Scatters truth like leaves;

Through knowing forest

Crashes boundless creation.

 

Insatiable rays drive

Light forward, through;

Eye beyond fathom,

Infinitely seeking.

 

Flames of encyclopaedic beauty

Fuse beginning to end

In limitless genesis

Of journey’s thrall.

 

Kaleidoscope wings

Beat in eternal space,

Thrumming awe to distant stars,

Defying essence of beyond.

 

Your worlds beget worlds,

Your light sparks light.

 

Refract my life into wonder.

Attenuate

Posted in Poetry with tags on February 18, 2015 by becciseaborne

Beneath our tread
At depth embed
My own roots’ roots
Spring eternal shoots

Where souls are wed
Trace single thread
Of heartsreach place
Seen in true face

Yet hungry fate
Will attenuate
Lifelong bloom
Through distance’ gloom

Way now unclear
Bring your essence near
Journey as we began
Feel my hand

Held

Posted in Poetry with tags , on February 7, 2015 by becciseaborne
Hold my heart for 5min that I might not feel so much
 – • –

You kiss my head;
It makes me feel like
I am utterly
Contained, yet free;
Held, yet offered;
Wrapped close,
Yet given to the world;
So presently alive and full,
Like heat reflected back;
Moving stillness of
Love’s gravity;
You kiss my head

Not

Cold edge

     hard shape
          no space
               not here
                    shut down
                         freeze out
                              push through
                                   press on
                                        long way
                                             stop there
                                                  go now
                                                       cry then
                                                            be gone
                                                                 .wait.

Dancing

 Dancing
–•–
I used to dance with pain
Held her close, flung her wide
Deceiving circles of distracting grace 
Gouges in the floor unseen
 
I used to dance with pain
Only true measure of love
Pushing beat to valve
My prize for crazy shapes 
 
I used to dance with pain
Kept moving when the music stopped
Held on as others drifted off
Ripped raw feet of use no more
 
I danced away from pain
Dulled heart nests in softer rhythm
Space to create a dance my own
Led my feet away
 
Dance from me danced
False circles found again
Distraction sputtering
In absent eyes
 
I leave the floor
In search once more
Of pain

The Price

Posted in Poetry with tags on January 24, 2015 by becciseaborne

 

Ebb and edge
Of persuadable place;
Take flow and sway,
Choose beauty today.

Iridescent surface sparks,
Yet soul’s pearl in parting
Jags a journey beneath,
On bed of rock and wreath.
 –
This prize therefore must,
Corrode to drowned dust.

Arm’s Length

Posted in Poetry with tags on January 20, 2015 by becciseaborne

images

 

Eternal interloper in lives of known trajectory,

Peripheral, intangible

 

Far-edged voyeur of friendship’s face,

Inclining then retreating

 

Meagre home in worlds of others,

Families conjured by their own suns

 

Each space a restless pause; not yet arrived,

Visitor from unknown home

 

Travelling beside yet never with you,

Universal passenger

 

Fearfully incessant voice,

Arm’s length from everywhere

 

That place of jostling stillness,

Place of dense emptiness

 

 

 

Fracture

Posted in Poetry with tags on January 15, 2015 by becciseaborne

 

That slip of air,

Catch of entity,

Mirage of hope and love.

There I fell.

 

No small grace,

In that distant space;

Beyond friendly grasp.

 

Nor dignity framed,

As gravity claimed

My infinite flaw.

 

Imagined beauty,

Reckless in tangible heart,

Chinks a fragment of fate.

There I fell.

 

There I fall;

Always will I fall,

Free.

Prediction

Posted in Poetry with tags on January 15, 2015 by becciseaborne

Written on 4th December 2014

 

You are a juggernaut;

I am a dry leaf in your slipstream.

One day soon I will land,

And be crushed to powder in the breeze.
