A Return To Innocence, Reclamation, Where Demons Tread

My Love’s Muse

Candid Corvid Productions

I know we are both wrecked
And armor has layered thick

Yet we can unpack slowly
Or even cut straight into it

Dismantling past injuries
Chinks in mail adhered to

When had no other choices
But to adopt others’ retinue

We know the warriors creed
To never let down our guard

But you and I were born for more
Than bloody-battled fealty tartars

We can take the skills we’ve learned
Weave coloured paradise paradigms

For you, for me, and the world
To restore belief in love again

Oh say you want this with me
Let’s embrace this life’s gaety!

In daylight spiraling galaxies
At night tending our wounds

A Return To Innocence, Myths & Legends, Reclamation, Where Demons Tread

Awaken, My Love, Awaken

Candid Corvid Productions

Like Orpheus and Eurydice
Lovers entwined in tragedy

You and I have sung songs to
Awaken what was lost to death

Only this time, my love, my heart
Sings you back into human form

Undead, arise my beloved intended
Ever art thou of the noblest crowned

And though I look over – for I must
To ensure you are still pacing beside

You shall not fade to aggrieved destiny
Follow me, follow me, follow me home

To the mundane where love still roams
Come home, my life, my hope, my world

Be at peace, come rejoice and be heard
For ever art thou my deliverance’s boon

We shall trace our names upon Eden’s trees
As its blooms are restored by love’s eternity

And we shall not want no matter sacrifice
For we‘ll find our souls’ promises redeemed

A Night’s Flying

Candid Corvid Productions

She had brought her walking sticks, planning to keep head high and stature elegant – but in the rush to don final pieces and help get them all through the throngs to the ADA window, she’d forgotten them.

Yet, somehow, she found her legs were working in tandem as they carried her with careful, determined purpose, gliding and turning on heals as needed.

Her magic had arrived to support her.

Funny how when it was over, her body went back to being injured.

You Fit Me

Candid Corvid Productions

This is it, the place where the tears flow
I guess that’s when one can know again

When you find someone who’s heartbeat
Takes you where you’d not choose to go

If knew what was good for your survival
Where the bodies of broken dreams rot

In shadows of past potentials’ haunting
Tormented by disillusionment of lovers

Too toxic to remember their humanity
And that we’re here to reclaim destiny

Counting Losses

Candid Corvid Productions

“Part of healing retraining today has involved working on TMJ muscles and related energetic and myofascial tension associations.

I had not realized that my jaw held the intense grief from my fiance breaking up with me, and that this tension further suspended down through the front of my neck and into my sternum causing central diaghragmatic breath constriction.

The whole anteriority of external self expression if one were to authentically expel breath, cry, yell, protest, and/or scream at such a loss had been frozen.

I had just taken the blows and absorbed that energy because I knew that the situation was extreme – and I refused to add to the negativity that he’d experienced from others which had pushed him to his decision.

This suppression of my own tormented reactions also kept me from experiencing further humiliation because keeping myself composed prevented their projections from being validated as reality.

The remnants of this incredibly complex and intense situation have haunted and kept me cautious in being directly forward about my deep feelings for another man.

I think that the entire situation imparted a sense of shame upon me for having believed in my fiance, and for risking to try with him.”
