ENTANGLED LOVE : A BOOK OF POEMS : IV

THE MIRROR 

I have lived in this realm for far too long.

There are many others here

But the illusion was too strong

Yesterday, I wandered out

To see what’s outside.

To see if I still believe.

To see if what I have built still holds.

Before I knew it,

A gust of wind picked me up and carried me out

I couldn’t see head or tail 

But I heard a whisper 

My shadow said,

There is a certain kind of love

A silent entanglement

Souls like mirrors, lost from a long time ago

Found again after all this time and pain. 

When you feel such a love,

You say to it,

I’m here. Do you see me? 

THE FLOW 

I take it in

All of you

All you’re feeling

All your energy 

I absorb it now

It’s filling me up

Waking my every cell

Dissolving all the walls

Breaking down all the barriers

What am I doing?

Why am I still here

What is this flow 

I cannot hold on

I cannot let go

ILLUSION OF SPACE

I will share my truth. 

And my truth is,

You’ve turned my world upside down.

You’ve reeled me in and now I’m hooked 

In our space 

It’s was just you an me

But theres chaos on the outside

Which seeps in to the inside

And now it’s no longer us. 

Fear Paranoia and Trauma have come to visit.

They always come with a serving of suspicion and doubt 

And doubt’s friend is worry. 

If they stay for long, 

They ask mistrust and insecurity to come play

We all get together and play in the illusion

Of powerlessness and guilt. 

When in reality,

The problem is simply that 

The timings just not right.

But this is life you say. 

And with it, you weave stories in your head. 

Maybe it would be good 

If on somedays

You would share instead. 

That’s life too

Letting go of control and

Negating the negative with a negative. 

DUAL AWARENESS

There is a chaos within the calm

There is a silence within the madness

There is a whole within the one 

There is no self without the other. 

There is no fear without love

There is paranoia within the trust
