Triple Exposure (with GhettoZombie and LupusTenebrae)

By ColorMeToxic

 

 

 

 

I

will keep

levity

elevated

here

 

Peace

within

each pore, each

follicle, each

nerve

 

My

time spent

on this land

needs a little

bliss

 

One

central

set of needs

Hierarchy

Love

 

This

incline

is steep, yet

easy to climb

Sharp

 

Keen

vision

Paradox

Zenith, abyss

Home





 

 

 

Night

alight,

bejeweled with

the frail shards of

fall,

 

the

lilting

chirrup of

crickets, rousing

my

 

once

heavy

spirit, now

weightless for a

change:

 

lead

heart trans-

muted to

the finest in

gold

 

and

torpid

psyche, up-

lifted from its

void

 

then

exposed

to the warm

contagion of

light.





 

 

 

I

let the

sun's warm rays

light my soul, a-

fire.

 

My

spirit now

illumin- ‘

ates, hidden hope.

Wake.

 

I

allow

smiles to cross

my non painted

lips,

 

and

have learned

to let go

of unwanted

guilt.

 

I

refuse

to let my

anger control

me.

 

so

I'll let

it go and

greet the real me.
