Bad Trips of Life

Craved ingestion, makes the mind fly wild – 
Rapid bursts of shock and surprise.  
Fear and horror that turns me pale –
Steely knives, beds of blood-stained nails.
 
The cornered heart did, what it always does –
    went and shared with her in simple words.
The cries of help from the innocent one inside –
    feelings exposed, nothing left to hide.
 
She responds, as she always does –
    unconditional understanding that breaks the curse.
As the body exhales the molten steel –
    her love shine, the violence heals.
 
As our love expands, to the worlds beyond –
    your heartfelt words ignite our bond.
So I learn again through this rough ride –
    my biggest blessing, is having you by my side.
 
When together we’re strong, we always prevail –
    despite embellishments of knives and nails.
We’ll keep turning our worries and freakouts around –
    growing like children, as joy abounds...
