Flood gates & wings

Mother's day poem I wrote for my mom. Won an open mic night with the piece.

Screams fill the interior room
As the sun begins to journey above the hills,
Life begins.
9 months of stretching,
9 months of vomit,
9 months of insecurities,
For a lifetime of breathless moments.
You were my first kiss, my first friend and love
With a bond so inseparable,
Unconditional love was sculptured around the frame of your heart
No principality, power or demon could tear this apart
My eyes opened to beauty,
And a faint enchanting smile molded by the element of pain
The embodiment of Jung's anima
The unspoken diety of the trinity
The Reincarnation of Gaia, nature has stopped it's groans for its goddess to return
Foxes have holes
Birds have nests
& you have that place called home
Oh, those glassy floodgates,
They've washed away every lie
When papers were spread across the cracked glass table
Fist marked signatures
Sealed with bitter stamps of destruction
Your spoken vows became mute
Futures buried 6 feet under white snow
Yet, it was just the beginning,
Beginning of growth.
Beginning of pain
Beginning of life,
For me.
You seemed ahead
Never showing weakness
Roots reached the earth's core
But, your gates stood closed,
Waters sit stagnant & became green
Banner's stunt double,
Rage filled veins,
So I take flight out of this dark hole,
Distancing the one who never left
Cities separate us
While we just live
Unconsciously screaming for self
Left stranded on islands of savagery
As years pass, I encounter this monster,
He preys on the one who's beauty surpasses all,
So I sprint
With blood streaking down my face,
Stumbling over rocks of reality,
I collapse.
With you reaching for my hand
Kissing cuts on my knees,
I question " where did you go? "
" I came looking for you. " You respond.
Gates fling open as currents of brokenness
Flood each chamber of my heart,
As your pretty wings begin fly us past every graceless relationship which we have ever encountered.
I love you mom, happy mothers day.
