Unlocked

This poem was written for my friend Rico...

Unlocked

Like the Drug, he sees me
That part of me hidden
So visibly clear to him
The part off limits, forbidden

He unlocked my secret room
The door swung open and
Words began pouring out of my soul
Again
Locked up for so long
Scattered in the little corners of my life
Not making a collective whole

Now I see prose and poetry
every where I look
stories in the bathroom tiles
and every single nook
In every piece of jewelry
And every family tree
I hear the stories form
And they come pouring out of me

I look forward to nurturing
The sharing
Of our words
Creating
Together, alone, with him
The world slows...

He's interested in knowing me
who I am
right now
His lens not contaminated
by history

Can he accept all of me?
With all my cracks
And leaks
The tears on my cheeks
My b***h
my critic
my child

It's more than the unlocking
The Opening
Unblocking
He makes it ok to be fragile
And feminine
He makes me feel protected
Even though our relationship...
Unexpected

Angels guided me to stay
on this path
I thought the numbers
Were about another
But that road was a one-way
Leading me here to him
Unlocked
Open
Filled and flowing
Fed...

I know it's lacking rhyme, but it gets the point I hope. Open to any feedback.

Really powerful and full of emotion! Thank you for sharing!

[Jessica Weed]

I really like this. It is vulnerable and sincere, just like the speaker. Beautifully written, I've always liked free verse type poetry :)

[Jennesis]

Thanks Jessica!

[A.J.]

It certainly sounds as if he has already accepted you.

[Jennesis]

Thanks AJ...not sure he's met the b***h yet though! :) thanks for the view.

[A.J.]

then perhaps you should show him. if he bails, it was never meant to be- but if you spew and he stays.....

[Jennesis]

So true... I may have to viper out sometime soon.....oooooh, I think there's a poem there...

[A.J.]

theres a poem about everything. :)

[Jennesis]

Yes there is. I'm just now allowing myself to be open to it.

[A.J.]

thats the hardest part. allowing myself release and to write the majority of my poetry/poetic prose took .....some time and came out of pure necessity.

[Jennesis]

I get that for sure. I get distracted and ignore the words that are begging to cone through.

[A.J.]

haha. it happens. all. the. time.
