Colors
My soul is empty,
a vacant room
with dusty windows.
My head overflows
with thoughts
that can't be written or spoken.
Abandoned buildings
littered in broken glass
and empty promises
of content hours
and sunshine moments:
this is my heart,
empty, cracked
thrown and tossed away
I am blank
like the walls in seedy motels.
You used to cover my emptiness
with your words.
and deep voiced callings
filled my emptiness
and I could feel
my soul shining,
sunlight through stained glass.
an now,
muted with tones of gray,
hues of heartbreak and doubt.
I wish I could stop waiting
for the colors to return.
A star falls
“A star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to put it back into the sky. And it's the most painful thing you'll ever have to do and that you've ever done. But what's yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the sky or here in your hands. And one day, it'll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and that time, you won't have to put it back in the sky again.”
― C. JoyBell C.
The Oracle
With one eye looking
ahead and another watching the past.
I have no time for the present
and I lose moments of now
that are too precious
to let go.
I stare behind me
with cold trembling fingers,
frozen in winters ice.
And my being stuck
to the snow-sticky ground
sometimes afraid
of what might lie ahead.
I still move forward
when I stop staring behind.
I am the watcher of doorways,
the oracle of indecision.
Again.
Fog covers the horizon
Blindly I find my way
Past the familiar, far beyond
The comfort zone of yesterday
After a time, a day, a week
The clouds begin to lift
Heat rises, doors open
Within solitude, my gift
My journey is aimless
But it is all mine
My path paved with freedom
Of my own design
Away from the memories
Of friends and lovers who were false
I seek a new perspective
Overcome by heartache
I shall walk past the pain
I have another chance
To complete the transition
Free from bondage,
I can dance
I have found libertation
A new reality
No longer a possession
I have reclaimed me
Again
