my own awakening

by Stephanie Myers

All at once the faltering bliss turns into silence,
not even a wisp of scent is left lingering in air as
he walked away with cemented shoes; still escaping supersonic.

i wept

unable to imprison the lies my eyes storied

The clouds icy tendrils blanket my skin-raincoat;
paused, naked, exposed, no shield for protection,
i stood there watching him fade into the beyond
horizon, muted.

i tried

lips superglued together concealing the screams inside

Earth's rhythm beats tantric; pulses quicken, dancing
with movement to the energy around;
spiraling toward center oblivion straight forward and
catapulting beyond what eyes could see.

i lived

once again breathing a life into my own mystic suicide

The text definitely captures the sense of awakening. I especially like this line: Earth's rhythm beats tantric, and the idea of walking away with cemented shoes.

A very intense piece, that awoke portions of my own mortality. Its really about how we let others in, and out of our intimate lives. These awakenings really hurt sometimes.. great read.

I think this, a fascinating ode. I was particularly taken with the line ------- lips superglued together to conceal the screams inside.
