The blades dip
underneath this shrouded disguise
and penetrate the living
breathing, bleeding heart beneath.

Take this hand and trace
my fingertips
As pain inflicted once is forgotten
in the path of what follows.
As it falls below
the skin, the mask,
that outlines what is asked
and forbidden

I run, and I fly
with nothing pulling me down or
pushing me back
and I release my heart
Into the tresses of the night
thin wisps of air
cutting a triangle
In the blanket of the night sky

And so my bleeding heart
free of the bindings
that once
tortured and confined
Grows its wings and flies

Toward tommorrow.

pain should be forgotten, it's so much easier when one has a "what will be will be" attitude, doesn't it.

this was magnificant writing

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.
