December 17, 2012 For Nikolitsa Boutieros
I lived within a black and white envelope,
A despondent enclosed existence.
Like Kurt Cobain,
I had an itch in the back of my head,
That I felt needed a shotgun to be scratched.
A dark window to peer through to one soul,
That was once a broken spirit.
A broken voice.
Broken and silent.
Now in the present,
With her graceful being,
A calm and tearless love.
Once cold hands,
Now warm hearts.
With her alone,
No words are needed,
Since our hearts now beat as one.
With a heavy hand, the fire awakes,
Feeling like an analog character,
In a digital world.
A wounded heart so full of pain,
I knew not my very own name.
I cut the noose of this landfill ballet,
I killed its grip, I cut it clean.
She refurbished me and left her mark,
Upon my asking skin.
Now in the sacred arms of care,
Ambushed by her tearless love.
