Trisha Vicious

in part a confession a strong tendency to lie necessary in a world where truth brings punishment lies bring peace troubling in a world where truth reigns lies bring death in part an acceptance the idea that the truth shall set you free in part a rejection this whole notion that the truth shall set you free in part an understanding of everyone and why in part an acknowledgement a whole consists of a number of parts all equally unequal some deserving of goodness, peace, love others just of understanding

I lay here close in Mommy's arms all wrapped up oh so warm she holds me tight a single light shines so bright I feel Mommy's kisses her warm embrace I feel her tears touch my face I see two hands reach from the sky they wrap around Mommy a voice whispers, "don't cry" then those two hands wrap around me and I am pulled ever so delicately and suddenly, yes I remember this place light, laughter and love fill the air "you are home now child," the voice declares looking down I see Mommy below I feel the wings that now carry me to and fro' my heart so full with all your love I have left your world I've risen above but please don't fret always with you I will be I am a piece of you and you are a piece of me

I took a knife and sliced it 2x2 I left part of my heart with you years repaired the damage fared I've grown to love another as the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall your face reappears and I wonder I hope that piece keeps you warm at night I hope it wraps you in a loving light I hope you've found peace in our parting of ways and a love like I've found will find you one day

you took your hand and ran it down my cheek gripping softly my chin pulling me closer and then you kissed me your lips cracked from the years in the sun moist nonetheless I opened my mouth slightly you responded instantly your tongue entering me sweeping left around and to the right you lightly pulled back then closing off the melting heat pouring from your soul and you looked at me with those deep eyes bearing into mine yes, I felt it too

I took the bricks down one by one and lay them side by side  when the ends touched I built up reaching towards the sky this well of light shines so bright  darkness amplified  I cry no tears  this fear I bear safe, on the inside 

funny how fast an hour goes by realizing this pushes me forward and I see myself at the end of this life looking back at how fast time went by 

plucking the cloth from the ice bin placing it across her beating, beaten brow water dripping down, making its way around cool brown jewels for eyes stared into mine, wanting. "sometimes, all there is to do, is sleep" and she was gone
