“Closet” painting by Kat Myrman 2001
would that I could hide away
silenced by your bitter enmity
would that I could hide away
appease your vain demands, do as you say,
let your fear define my life, my right to be
but that’s not Love, no, that’s not me
would that I could hide away

there is a quiet and yet somehow slightly challenging tone in this piece – it makes me smile …. the push-pull of reactions and actions, sorting through fears and knowing, “no” ….. sometimes, it is the only way …. follow the heart and be not (un)afraid

You are a wise wordwitch my friend. Poetry is often my way of crawling out of the abyss. 😉

thank you …. I have the curse/blessing of being an onion …. layers subtexts etc. but it is your words that are so well crafted …. and well, through whatever means and ways, we work through the dark and string out our own little glittering lights, our own galaxy of glittering stars …. 🙂
