The Choice
Posted in Poetry, Uncategorized with tags Beauty, Being a Human Being, Journeys, Loss, Love on July 6, 2016 by becciseaborne.
I’ve had a falling out with my heart
She brought me to a dangerous yet beautiful place
I came willingly, open-eyed
But now I need to return, I find she won’t allow it
.
We are stuck here
.
So my choice is to stay with her, and the pain
Or to leave without her
She is wayward and wild, my heart
Stubborn and cruel to me
.
Yet she is wise and true
.
I’ve always trusted her
Wherever she takes me
She’s taken me to joy, pain and grief
To beauty,darkness and love
.
Never to peace, though
.
She has never taken me to peace
Perhaps it is time for peace
Perhaps we should part ways now
My heart
.
And me
Kept

Dangerous love,
Broken beauty,
Locked cage.

Refraction
Posted in Poetry with tags Beauty, Difference, Journeys, Love on February 23, 2015 by becciseaborneSoul 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.

Held

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
