escapril day nineteen - visit
Apr. 19th, 2025 05:46 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
It used to be going back home,
but then home changed where it was
and who it was.
Now I'm only visiting,
just passing through,
touching base with people who remember
a version of me
that no longer exists --
who rarely come to see
what my life looks like now.
The line between love and obligation
gets harder to define,
and those 179 miles of distance
make it blurrier with each year.
Now travelling 600 miles further,
to go where another piece of my heart is,
feels more like being home
than going back
to where I came from.

escapril day eighteen - home fire

the letter came too late
a gasp of fear scribbled in the night
sent out in search of comfort
from the arms that had brushed away
so many bad dreams
in years gone by
the fires burned faster than I could ride
it came too late to hold you again
to whisper comforting lies
as the village was razed to the ground
the smoke and embers that remained caught
my broken heart
and set my anger ablaze
I will bide my time
I will stoke my vengeance
I will keep the home fire burning in my chest
until it engulfs
the one who snuffed out
the light of my life
***
a day late with this one. it was a sleepy feeling day yesterday. alex and I went to the gym late morning and then we went for a board game afternoon/evening with one of his friends and then I had to do circuits pacing the flat to get my steps in for the day lmao. anyway, brain was not happening for poetry last night but here we go. fully just pulled this from cadmus, my fire genasi paladin in alex's d&d campaign.

escapril day seventeen - crowning

the woodland held audience today,
calling me to come and bear witness
to its majesty.
the birds heralded the morning,
the hushed chatter of water
underscoring their chorus,
as the river glided by
with diamonds sparkling
upon its slender neck.
the air was fragrant, perfumed
with apple blossom and honeysuckle.
I weaved between the slender trees
delicately dancing across dappled leaves
and when I stopped to bask
in the stillness
awed by the arbors, bowing to each bough,
a passing cloud curtsied with the breeze
and the sun came forth,
crowning the canopy with golden light
calling me to come and bear witness
to its majesty.
