Desolation is mine

for I have surrendered

all my imperfection-

Before my discovery

I laid drowning

in a blinding extension

of myself

Covering my body

in a deep scented bath

of bitterness and wreckage

The absence of freedom

I had felt

from the complexities

of my soul

harbored defeat

My regard for denial

favored confessing

The apex of my sullen fate

seized to exist

Defeated by the absence

of love

that laid me

open-exposed

I became confused

having suffered

complete defeat

beyond my own control

A divine extract

came and delivered me

It covered my body

with the sweet scent

of femininity

The compass that guided

my birth

shifted

I was more

desirable -deserving

The afterglow of my heart

bared eminence

The extension of my love

returned beautifully

as it crashed

into all my senses

My solemn life

had been rescued–
