I can’t see you for the light

A beam of light.

A silhouette.

A spray of glass.

Your eyes are wet.

Strands of hair

Like tens of wings

And shroud your face.

Your soul sings.

The floor departs,

Your feet away,

Into the air

Like dawning day.

Arms outspread,

Heart open,

From your mouth

Sound golden.

Keep my key

And let me be

For my own eyes

Have lied to me.

Your skin is glazed

With all the sun

And in my hands

My heart’s undone.

Choking on light,

Hiding from all

That gaze, your eyes,

My downfall.

You ascend,

I fist the air

Beneath your feet

bare.

You fly

And traverse

This realm I don’t know.

And I

Cannot see

You for the light where you go.

  1. I really enjoyed your poem. Each line was a tight dagger and the overall effect was quite visceral. The only thing that didn’t work for me was the word “soul”. Everything else was tangible and loaded with meaning I could relate too.
    Look forward to reading more of your work.
