My Angel

She danced among the planets, her head twirled within the stars, the universe her playground, her hair a shade of Mars,

Saturn’s rings do grace her fingers, Queen of the final frontier, too pure a soul to grace this world, you could never just stay here,

Untamed celestial beauty, drifting further out of orbit, her body knew of gravity, her soul chose to ignore it,

May we one-day meet again, so we can spread our angelic feathers, for now my love I’ll wait my turn to drift among the Heavens.

Acceptance

Your silence tells me a story, your smile contradicts your eyes, your body language says all that needs to be said, yet your words take me by surprise,

Show me the true you my sweet stranger, show me what lies beneath, I can read you just like an open book, so remove your sword from its sheath,

Take your best shot, hit me hard, cut me deep, get under my skin and reach deeper within, shake my core, reveal to me your darkest sin and understand acceptance from one who is not your kin

We all have a past, we’ve all made mistakes, we all have traumas filling our plates, we all want a clean sheet, a wiping of slates, but rising from failures is what makes us great
