behind glass /in vain

behind glass I am screaming

in a deep ocean far from your sight

i drown

as waves of ancestral pain cover me

deep inside

these resounding echoes of the past

I hear him crying

longing for the son he loved

then I remember how far away I had to travel

and even then there was no where safe

never a soft place

to land

lately its getting harder to stand

the loneliness

to justify to myself

the distance i keep from you

in order to keep myself safe

where is that self anyway

that could so easily be in danger?

sad to say

i ever felt that way

sad to say i shed all of those many tears

in vain

and kept myself so far away

feeding myself stories that in the end

were only

fictions

I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

  1. We all feel that sense of longing for the love we didn’t get from our parents growing up, and eventually, we learn through the trials of our lives, that our parents can’t love us, because they weren’t loved by their own parents properly, then, we begin, forgiving, ourselves, and let go…

    1. I believe our parents did love us, un their way, it was just not possible for them to show it in the way we needed since we are all evolving out of the emotionally bereft, deeply feminine love befrefy/deficit dark ages.
