dark night of the soul

journey to the dark night of soul
ghosts
demons
back stabbers be told
loss
forgiveness
fire!
and lies
thieves
villains
vampires
I RISE
bruised and broken
warrior fight
tired and praying
reclaiming my light
for nights and days
I cried, I cried
lessons to atone
and purify
at the termination
of this crossing
I let go of what was never mine
and today
I love and live
more authentically

six months to roam the earth
in search of what Ive known

the light collapsed around me,
hades came to take me home

his dark eyes abated
from the sweetness of my soul

yet I cursed his abduction
and begged him to let me go

his control and obsession
submerged my spirit

yet, my love
he could not own
