L.O.V.E. ( live only very exceptionally)

In the midst of a bitter darkness

My soul arises to a blinding light

Which brings ethereal illumination to the pitch black sky

That lingers behind my sullen eyes

I lay awake from dawn until night

Where a black berry hue paint the clouds above

And waves of emotions fill me with memories of lost love

My comforters carry the tears I've shed throughout the years

And the bed frame that I slumber upon cradles my fears

When radiance enters my heart everything becomes far more clear

In the form of an angel serenity had appeared

My insides were spilling all across the walls of the room

In hopes that from the depths of a broken conscious a flower would bloom

When I was blessed with the angel’s presence

I seemed to reclaim some of my essence

If her gentle irises never embraced mine

I'm not sure if  I would have ever been aligned with the divine

Our palms embraced like autumn leaves encountering the surface below

Joining graciously quick and yet slow

The curves of the angel’s face feel like freshly fallen snow

Cools the flames burning the home which holds my sense of self within its walls

And creating a mountain of hope where my faith tends to fall

You child, are the product of the cosmos making love with the moon

She said as I swooned

Her soft sweet whispers caressed the corners of my soul

Lusting for someone to take as a whole

The mahogany bed frame

Now became a plane

Which would carry me off into a brighter state

They have stolen the core

That You long to restore

And yet your heart still plays a rhythmic tune

That your eyes still dance to and exudes

The love that resides in your truth

Look no farther than within you

She continued

Your existence alone is worthy of a celebration

Because it's love is the birth to creation

all your imperfections are a reflection

Of your gift

Which is the ability to live

To breathe in fresh air and give

Sunlight  to someone's pain

And end the rain

Which has nearly driven them insane

And most of all silence the tornadoes in your mind

over time you'll find

The ultimate gift is life

Simplicity and complexity meet

To create the bittersweet memories

Which will teach you to love endlessly

Infinitely you will be free

If you choose to live life very exceptionally

She held my palms like a newborn just brought to this earth

And in that moment I was rebirthed

She asked if I would be upset when she leaves

And so I reminded her that she is the love which lives inside of me

Sweet angel can't you see

Because of your message

I realized each second I am alive is a blessing

You cleaned up all of the blood which left traces of my pain on the ground

My heart no longer pounds with the sounds

Of misfortune and diminished trust,

Underneath the soles of shoe now lies stardust

When there wasn't a single person that cared

You were there

And my hair no longer just sits on top of my face

Like raindrops which settled into the cracks of each place

That I dwelled in

allowing my weakness to keep swelling

The fists which relentlessly beat on my conscious for as long as I can recall

Are no longer involved

And it is all because of your energy

That on an endless voyage of darkness

I discovered how to live life exceptionally
