Once Again

Poetry — The Dance of Life

I choose to preserve
the best memories of you
in the lonelier parts of my mind,
where we dance in a sacred duet,
where our previous grievances
rapidly dissipate with each step,
where we connect to the higher
versions of ourselves,
where unconditional love
radiates through us with each exhale,
the remnants are flushed,
reserved for our next lives,
where we will learn the lessons
to conquer our differences
instead of cutting each other’s throats
for shallow advances to thrive
in a world where anguish and betrayal
is constructed into the delusion
that true love is a constant
torment that cradles the heart in misery,
a wound that never heals,
the sickness becomes the fever,
the fever becomes the strain
on the mind, body, and soul
while love is camouflaged
as a never ceasing hatred
that seeps into the pores,
contorting our thoughts and feelings,
it’s a constant battle we dance,
the second our souls are united again,
we hope for a better next time,
where we can define love to the world,
where we can burn the blueprints
and free the world of
generational curses and disharmony,
when it’s our time again,
we will spread love amidst the chaos,
until then,
let’s move in synchronicity to the sacred dance of life.
