Black diamonds and pearls

Poetry

How do we get past survival mode?

when Eden becomes just another unreachable place,
when living hell has been chained to the bones of your race

one day we’ll fly away, birds of a feather soaring together,
until we become that love we dream of

weightless, our wings flutter, we go from nowhere to somewhere,
in the space between heartbeats

born ready for this, another battle cry, you shine, we shine,
a lighthouse to an epiphany, only we can see

How can we be wrong?

we’re glints in the Universes eye, the stars fall like snowflakes right by our sides, like brothers and sisters armed with light

there are no hopeless places if you are hopelessly mine,
we love to a different beat, our love syncs like harmonies

we drift inside and out of our beautiful minds, but we wonder if we’ll make it home tonight

beautiful bodies caressing, touching the sky, Black tears fall from the brownest eyes

bleeding into Ocean waves full of a lifetimes emotions, our last liberated breaths like jewels in our crowns
