It was difficult to actually pinpoint where and when the first
signs of the impending storm began to brew.
It may have been something as indiscernible as a bird in the Galapagos,
in the midst of his well-rehearsed and choreographed dance to secure a mate,
as his wings flapped with heartfelt fury.
Please just please choose me…

Please just please choose me…
Or... was it the slightest updraft of a breeze
that got sucked into a cycle of exponential condensing pressures,
until there was no other way to dissipate all that had accrued,
and it all came crashing down?

LIVIDITY
AND GRAVITY
What
appeared at first as a mesmerizingly cool demeanor drifting in
became
caught up in an endless cycle of condensing pressure
dew
point was reached, causing a chain reaction
leading
me to lash out with vivid, volatile vitriol
Testing
the depth of your emotions
with
the tentative pitter patter of my toes
not
sure if I am able to fully immerse without drowning
I
begin to tumble, spinning out of control
trying
to fight the gravity of my feelings
breaking the surface tension on the way in
stirring
up long forgotten memories
I
am the storm
Bursting
forth
as
my Livid torrents begin to pour
disturbing
the sanctity of your suavity
Just
as suddenly as I come
I
pass
Only
once the blue skies return can the damage be seen
It
takes much longer for the stirred up antipathy to settle
The
re-emerging sun offers a glimmer of hope
which
cause me to reflect
The
Pelican, spooked also by the sudden storm
flies
ever so gracefully
circling
up towards me I implore her to explain to me
how
best to rise above any storm we may find ourselves in the midst of
She
sees the sadness in my eyes and offers me these words
"I think we all are beacons, energy wise and that when you
get emotionally overwhelmed ,
it's mostly because you are experiencing you, in your purest form
and the other person is just mirroring that.
get emotionally overwhelmed ,
it's mostly because you are experiencing you, in your purest form
and the other person is just mirroring that.
The ability to mirror you is of course no small thing though
That can only a few people do"
I look down into your
once again smooth surface
and see myself with no
way to hide
she is absolutely correct
she is absolutely correct
we are but reflections in
each other
The
further apart we may appear to become
the
less clearly defined our individual boundaries are
I
leap into you
and
you return back to me
Eventually
we find ourselves rising into levity

portions of this
poem incorporate some inspiring words
from a lady i once knew...she is not a pelican IRL
but a someone who kept me enlightened
with her uncanny insight inside
with her uncanny insight inside
my sometimes
complicated mind and soul.
Livid is another
word to describe the colour steel blue
