comfort pain

A beam of light shines through, i gaze at the twirling smoke & dust.

We've been stuck here waiting, for as long as i say life.

With no glimmer of hope, trapped in perpetual night

But I see her now, just past arms reach,

she is in my sight - fine and obtainable.

But she cant see me, though i'm sure she tries,

for that alone, for her i'd die.

But she cant see me - i'm absent light, 

Starved of oxygen and rendered cold,

Blindly searching for my shattered soul.

No spoken words, but yet she knows

She holds the key to the box with my heart

We know she's close - i hear her breathe 

But why does she still search for me?

I could scutter my feet, whistle or shout - she might find me then

i'd be free - I'd be out

But then she might find me - i'd be free... i'd be out!!!

This is absolutely brilliant and stunning poetry!! I love how she's there and obtainable but yet she doesn't see you because you yourself have to break your soul and heart from its shackles in order to truly let her in.. perhaps she's missing the core of you and only sees what's on the surface but doesn't know the depths of you but you are desperate to invite her there.. BUT there's a hesitancy... if she truly sees and behold the true you, the deepest core of you, could she love you? There's fear remaining in that if you truly wanted her to see and know all of you, you would shout and stomp your feet from the furthest reaches of you, and if she truly loved you for you, she wouldn't be scared or run away or reject you but instead wrap you up in her undying love and keep you within the warmth of her heart always...

Buuuuuut, maybe I'm reading waaaay too much into this one. Still, it's utterly lovely and great writing!! So urgent with poignant and articulate expressions of the soul.

no no.... thats a very good interpretation, pretty spot on... you have good intuition.
