Breathing Effortlessly
She immortalized a lingering essence in prose to freeze it - still in time,
its truth rests beneath the haze of speculation her words stir,
scribed with wishful intuition she inks the skin of her pages swiftly,
careful to convey a dying ache within,
birthing a tale that she swore to never recall.
Read closely — deep between the lines of her poems hides an awakening,
securely hidden from ridicule it fills reservoirs with secrets,
brimming with collected expression her collected words simmer,
quenching a thirst for moments of raw authenticity in an era of absence -
seeking solitude in a frenzy of fabricated relations.
Her darkest realizations burn to meet your eyes,
smeared ink stains fantasies she had yet to embrace,
her writing edging closer to acceptance in every passing stanza,
a written escape from the mental mayhem,
breathing effortlessly.
Capturing the writing process through embracing unspoken sentiments, unrealized potential, and heartfelt memories — the beauty of recalling moments passed.
