Colors bruised
the shades of yellow evaporate
her lips swollen with you
scenes she no longer can tolerate .
eyes of a doe , eyes of a doe
winter a cold heaven of snow .
pools of mercury keep
the night collapses deep
teal shadows saturate
unknown dwellers assassinate .
I saw her hold Chopins heart
sealed tight in a glass jar
a song held in her hands … little lark .
eyes of a doe , eyes of a doe
lips frozen with snow .
I see her once more
that wing on her shoulder
a broken limb
his hymn only a pseudonym .
her ballad is lonely
wailing in worship
on and on and on
she waits for the night to retaliate .
eyes of a doe , eyes of a doe
spring seeds beneath the snow .

Wonderful Winterland, though morose, as Winter themes can simultaneously be. It reminded me of that song I shared with you the other day! I would say I hope you are doing well, but I will say I hope you are feeling real, as too often people think that to do well is to be numb to uncomfortable feelings, that are healthy to feel in proportionate doses and to communicate in constructive ways, which often simply can be down simply be dwelling. Nostalgia need not be all bad, we would not look back very long unless we wanted to remember, excluding PTSD and OCD experiencers.
