In Fullness.....7


Model: Scarlett Morgan

Even when the world
loved me
and rejoiced in 
all of it
I didn't realise
that both of us
were celebrating
the fullness 
of life.
To be full of beauty
is to appreciate 
it in another
and to appreciate
the beauty
of the world
is to be full of it
in oneself.
My soul 
breathes through
my flesh
all of it
and all the time
all the beauty
that is there
in this world 
and beyond.
If only you could
see 
it....

Being deserted...

It isn't easy
to stand
amid a slideful of
soil and rocks,
even to get a toehold.
When all hope
seems to leave
behind heaps
of bared bones
and tangled vines
I trust my feet
to carry me
through 
all the turmoil
to foot hills.
What use the peaks
when you need
the water of life
to run through
dry deserts?

Not mine....

For long have I carried
borrowed terms
borrowed frames
borrowed norms.
Living on borrowed templates
I just became 
an image a copy
and a lovely frame.
I was an apple 
without the juice.
All I got was
acceptance
and existence -
mere survival.
But I am not at 
anybody's mercy
no longer.
I can fend for myself.
I will carry on 
regardless.
I have it in me
to weave the fabric
of my life.
I know you will be
there and
I will give out
my heart.

Turning away..2


***

Time moved
and moves
My frame grew
and grows
My breasts filled
and are full
The woman
in me stirred,
the world gaped
in admiration
and the child 
in me 
turned away,
but for how long?
