From my perspective, these two pieces describe two very different relationships – one fulfilling and the other empty – types that all individuals have probably experienced. One, the other, or both. So, passion-less or passion-filled, what’s your current relationship?
Wildfire Heart by Laura Denise
I’ve loved before.
That’s what lovers do.
Never the problem,
just the flue.
My heat rising
and released,
but others
closed the vent.
I self-suffocated
each ember
of chance.
Again.
And again.
But my match,
finally met.
Impervious
to my intensity,
my molten form
held so tenderly.
I still love them all
for that’s what lovers do,
but so grateful each
closed that flue.
My fire is now
oxygenated,
a type of glow
that originated
when I was finally able
to feel being held,
and the way he made me
first love
myself.
We fell,
we rose,
along the way,
grew together,
blue and white
lovemaking
constellation
flame.
I don’t miss you, but I miss your vibes
I don’t miss you, but I miss your vibes I miss the connection I thought I can vibe on my own I thought I can vibe to the music of nature no matter my mood But how silly I’m, I can vibe to nothing when I miss your vibes If I say I miss you, I miss you that badly as I love you that madly Call me insane that I can never get you out of my head no matter how you treat me Each and every nooks and corners of my cells are craving for your vibes But never you knew how privileged you are in my heart Never you knew how important you are to me Come back and hug me as usual Hug me and squeeze me as always. I don’t say that I miss you But deep in my heart I miss a piece of my smile. I miss your vibes I miss the connection Come back and hug me as usual Also published on Medium
