Poetry is more than escapism. It is a companion.
The sort of companion who records your story, and relays it to anyone willing to relive it.
My poetry has witnessed my journey in search of a new realm and beckons you to experience it with me.
...
I am the stars which fall from the sky— with and without grace And also the stars that burn brightly all day— bold and unapologetic
I am king and those who follow him
The worshipper and the worshipped
I am my own company and avoidant
I am to myself a withering gate to an old house— defender and vulnerability
I am to myself water to this earth— life and also death
I am to this world both sinner and saint— loved and unloved
As I am in myself So I am to the dust around me
And so, I am also god and god is me
As I am in my mind So I am to myself
And so, I am also everything and everything is me
author's note—
This is it, the first poem of my new work. I'm really excited to share more with you guys over the next few weeks, these poems have really allowed me to express myself while I navigate this chapter of my life and if nothing else, are an indication of my growth as a poet. Thank you for reading.
* For clarity, poems that were previously published with "Into An Abyss" will have an asterisk in the title. I'll also keep these posts original author's notes in italics.
