POETRY
Living expressions of inner work. Offered as a glimpse of the process towards radical self-acceptance, healing, and growth.
The Love That’s Real
The love I feel
So impossibly real
The love that’s real
So impossible to feel
A point of reality
Against a bleak totality
A bleak totality
Devoid of reality
A pinprick of light
That illuminates the night
A dark night
Pricked with terror and flight
A whispered prayer
Promising a truth and a dare
A violent glare
Promising pain and a scare
A look and a touch
That’s never too much
A look and a touch
That’s always too much
A lifetime together
Souls entwined forever
A lifetime together
Souls enmeshed forever
