She has a smile of moonlight
that pierce veil and fog
full and true
with jewels for eyes
and hair of dawns light.
sweet and sophisticated
like the sugar in your tea.
she is everything
but once she was nothing
once her eyes were not jewels.
she was bewitched.
cursed
upon a mirrors edge she saw not herself
but a demon.
terrible and persistent.
frail and deathly lonely.
rotting.
it was her.
or so she thought.
and she listened to it.
its whispers
and became as it.
but her heart knew.
but her heart knew.
i am more than this.
and so she looked upon the demon.
and saw it was hollow.
empty and dead.
and all it wanted was to make her like so.
empty of flesh, soul and heart.
this she could not do.
and so she turned from mirrors edge.
and broke the creature.
and so people saw again.
what she was.
a smile of moonlight
that pierce veil and fog
full and true
with jewels for eyes
and hair of dawns light.
but also a spirit of iron.
and the will of an angel.
yet the kindness of a child.
she was something beautiful.
made from broken glass.
oh what a mosaic the world had made that day.

Don’t worry about me.
Don’t chase me.
Don’t call my name.
My heart is slowing.
My breath is dying.
I am sinking.
But don’t chase me.
don’t waste your breath.
Screaming my name.
I cannot hear you.
I don’t want to.
let me go.
let me go.
I am no more.
I am broken.
Let me go.
Dust down yourself.
spit on my cold corpse.
for all i care.
I am gone.
broken.
Dead.
Let me go.

Strange, strange strange,
what is this word?
what is it?
odd, different?
weird? wrong?
normal?
what is it?
frizzy hair and cracked lips?
cackling and screaming?
intelligence?
eccentric dancing Victorians?
what is strange my friend but you and me?
just look in the mirror
your eyes,
so strange from mine.
you’re weird.
different.
wrong.
listen to your laugh, so strange from mine.
you’re weird.
wrong.
different.
does it hurt?
look at yourself
listen to yourself.
do you understand now?
strange doesn’t exist.
only different.
and different is good.
—John Holmes
I am light.
i am a sun at my core
i am heaven and i am hell
thunder and lightning
I am brief and terrible.
bright and beautiful
eternal and unending.
i am right and wrong.
I am an infection.
a terrible destructive condition.
I will drive you to the ends of your insanity.
I will push you beyond your chosen destination.
I will tear down dreams.
For I am Love.
and i am terrible and unending.
I am Love.
for i am brilliant and beautiful.
I am Love.
For I am the smile on your face.
and the one who is holding your hand.
and when you walk the dreams.
and into the dark.
I am Love.
and I am in your heart.
I’ve got you.
