The Audacity to choose how to live

Author Archives: Yaku

Silence

Words fly away on the white wings of a peaceful silence. Dark storms are finally overcome by a colourful horizon. A clear note rings in the quiet aftermath of chaotic destruction. I exhale and my breath takes the hand of a winters breeze. Dancing passed the brown and yellow leaves of yesterday. A warm lovingContinue reading “Silence”

Home

Home why did you abandon me? The words of my soul whisper. Calling across the endless waters, reflecting glass hiding healing love. Home where are you? The arms of my heart outstretched. Reaching through the grey mist, a blanket hiding hopeful belonging. Home why are you silent? The trembling of my body echoes. Begging inContinue reading “Home”

Illusion

I am illusion, breaking into ad infinitum, splintering across the night sky. Ever shining, ever unreachable.

God

The bang echoed loudly in the nothingness. God was dead. Spiralling into a hundred billion galaxies. All whispering, God must die so that we might live.

You – I – We

You You took me in and became home. You held me and became safety. You listened and became healing. You smiled and became joy. I I love you but do not possess you. I hold you but do not bind you. I want you but do not need you. I am you but do notContinue reading “You – I – We”

Grief

I’ve worn you, my beloved cloak of grief, for so long, a companion. Dark and musky I carried you with me, until you felt like skin, my skin. My mind grew attached to you, the thought of letting go a betrayal. Precious fabric, woven with cords drawn from deep within me. Painted on your sleeves,Continue reading “Grief”

Heart

In the exhale I feel the stretch the tear, hear the gun shot snap crack of my ribs as I let go of my heart.

Bond

Gold, silver and bronze the cords of an unexpected bond. Gentle triple layered threads resting next to each other. Woven into the the fabric of life it can never be untangled.

Black Forest Cake

The taste of the dark chocolate cake on the lips and beard of his beloved dissolved the world. The entire universe held its breath as time took a silent pause at the edge of eternity remembering the moment when the sun looked in and saw the chocolate covered hands of love and eyes bright like a clear blueContinue reading “Black Forest Cake”

White linen bed

Soft is the white like feathers of an angel wings spread open wide Warm is the white like the glow of a fireplace flames casting light Home is the white like the arms of my love embracing me at night Hope is the white like the doves of peace taking flight Laughter is the whiteContinue reading “White linen bed”
