Kindled Soul

Nine Ball 🎱

We try to find the love in everything

Our faces, our bodies, our possessions, our kin.....

But we are never satisfied

I look in the mirror hoping that my soul will reach nirvana

My hips, curves

An everlasting bounty

Danced

So I too will dance

Alas my heart grew weary once I felt your presence

Intrigued

Determined

Hunger

Rage

My heart grew and yearned for something so painful

To mend, to break

To kill

Satisfy my urges with blood poring from within

Still I Danced

My heart grew thicker

My feet blistered

Rising

Pouring

Firing

You cannot tell me I have not found it

I lived

I breathed

Truly soaking in the beauty beneath me

Her blood spilled upon my grave

And yet I....

My body craved

I cracked

Red

Red

Red

I bashed my head

I raked my thoughts

Healing as though tape would help mend the scars

Hiding my shame

But I'm not ashamed

My body was given to a world without tames

No bounds

No answer

No proclivity

Yet I Danced

It hurts

That I'll be glad when I'm dead.....

    (forgive my rambling below
    I was aiming to comfort and empower
    and add a little levity, I promise
    I wasn't taking your poetry's sincerity lightly..
    thanks for sharing, dear poet)
    healing and releasing
    begins with digging deep
    beyond the surface hurts and bruises
    to those repressed hopes and wishes
    we dare not consider
    lest we be burnt and scarred deeper
    dig dipper, wise Poet
    the part of you that embraces an end to breath
    may be part of the problem
    we must face our ugly, raked raw
    naked and still
    unflinchingly reach out, a fingertip
    soothe that we hate most, in what
    we see or feel
    and let our true desires, surface
    'glad when you're dead'
    but weary soul, think
    of all that ice-cream you left behind
    untasted
    what a tragedy, stick around a little longer
    i'm sure there will be a flavour, you'll desire...
