Like Air

I lost something.
A very important part of me.
The worst part is that I probably never had it.
He came into my life a cool breeze.
Everyone knows that you can't catch air.
But I'm a fool and yes I tried.
And just when I thought I had him,
he slipped right through my fingers.
Like Air.
If I close my eyes, I can still feel his arms around me.
Grabbing his hand and pointing at Orion.
Feel his breath on my neck, his body calming my cold shivers.
I replay that moment every time I blink.
I heard him tell me to open my heart.
I felt him open his.
And for the first time in a long time, I felt safe.
Every fear that I had .
Every insecurity vanished when he told me that he loved me.
So soft. So low. So gentle. So real.
The moment magnified, I could hear the fish swim in the river below.
I could see the fragment of glass on the moon and everything went silent.
So quiet that you could hear my breathless response.
I wanted to cry. I wanted to reach up and slap God high five.
But then like air- it disappeared.
His breathing got heavy.
I saw flickers in his eyes and within a couple of seconds my world came crashing down. His confessions cut me like shrapnel.
And even though his thoughts hadn't become actions,
I couldn't help but feel like I had lost him.
It hurt so bad. So bad. He turned the tables on me with his sexy swiftness.
Made me feel as though I had committed the ultimate crime.
And what did I do? I let him. He made my eyes melt. Made my ears bleed.
Made my heart ache. And just like a cool sudden breeze- he was gone.
He removed a pebble from my foundation and collapsed the greatest pyramid in Egypt. And after the dust cleared, and the air had returned to it's resting stage.
I was left in ruins. Like air- I was gone.

A Broken Heart

 

 

A Broken Heart

© By Courtney counterman

My heart is broken
I feel out of place
words left unspoken
to feel and empty space.

Our love I thought we had
has slowly grown apart
and now that your gone
I have to find the start.

it ended so fast but
it caused so much pain
so much I’ve lost
it's hard to regain.

I thought you loved me
now why did it end
cause you had to say
lets just be good friends.

you say you'll always love me
this the hardest thing to hear
thought when I’m by myself
I wish I could disappear.

you don't know what I’m going through
to heal a broken heart
there is nothing you can do.

so I’ll cry these tears
maybe let out a scream
but you need to know now
this is the real thing.

I Am Unique

I am unique

There is no one else exactly like me

And yet I am one with the whole of nature

I serve the power that moves the universe

For I exist in the universe

And the soul of the universe

Manifests through me

I have the right to be all that I am

My innermost soul is divine and complete

I am honored with the charge to exceed myself

That the outer manifestation

May be truer to the core reality

Oh thou who givest sustenance to the universe

From whom all things proceed

And unto whom all things must return

Grant me authentic beauty of soul

May the outward and the inward life be at one

I stand before the Mighty Ones

Uncovered in reverence and clothed in space

I pray with all sincerity

That thou unveil to me

The face of the true spiritual sun

And reveal unto me the runes

That I may know the truth

And do my whole duty

As I journey to thy sacred feet

A   HEATHEN  DECLAMATION

 

Two Sides

Two sides 

It's easier for you to just walk away
Than it is to reach out to me
It's easier for you to just turn around
Than to see the depth of my despair
It's easier for you to just look through
Than it is to see the "real" me
It's easier for you to distance yourself
Than it is for you to care
It's easier for me to just look away
Than it is to see the betrayal in my eyes
It is easier for me to cry
Than it is for me to speak
It's easier for me to walk alone
Than it is to face rejection
It's easier for me to keep to myself
Than it is to create a new projection
It's hard for me to smile
When I'm hurting
It's hard for me to talk
When you don't understand
It's hard for me to reach out
When I need help as well
It's hard and wounding
Trying to get up without a hand
If only once you'd really look at me
And see who I really am
If only once you'd really listen to me
And only try to understand
Why I want you to care about me
Without asking why
Then maybe you'd validate my feelings
And realize why I cry
