broke my own barely-beating heart
went un- noticed
let alone fatal
pain endured then absorbed, changing its shape
until it appeared- a floating disconnect
once full and impervious
two halves forming the whole
self-righteous and solid
closed to the light
suddenly cracked and imperfect, at the ready
for the outpouring of emotion
tumbling through tumult
at the ready for the laser-bright white beam
through half-slit eyes
travels through eternity
to pierce my chest
and fills the cracks like mortar
a healing, translucent balm
and now by osmosis
gives and receives
the blood-red agape love
worthy of the creator
of the moon and stars
and earth and sky
love it - very ethereal!
