Kim V. Poetry

I think, perhaps,
If I dream a little more,
I’ll see the moonrise again.

I’ll believe in the magick
And feel the pull of her light,
And say the words I’ve never said
Before.

Words I’ve never felt.
Words I didn’t think
I deserved.

I’ve had so many
Tired days,
Where the clouds were
Dark and menacing.

And when I looked outside
My window,
I felt a little less human.

I think, perhaps
I tried too hard
To suffocate my
Darkness,
That I didn’t confront the reason
I had it in the first place.

I tried to hide it,
Push it down
Into the depths.

Tried to fabricate
Sunshine,
And the happiness
I thought went with it.

I think, perhaps
I never noticed the beauty of it,
Because I was too busy trying to
Create it.

Swallowed myself up in it,
Because I didn’t believe I merited
Saving.

But now,
Writing these words,
Dipped in the ink of my tears,
I accept the heartache
And the grief,
The guilt
And the pain.

Because when moonlight comes,
I’ll say the words
I’ve long to say.

For they’re all within my grasp.

Hope
Freedom
Redemption

And I’ll believe they’re meant for me.
