❦
The Pink is fading from my hair.
Like everything else, it dissolves.
❦
The Pink is fading and this poem wanted to come out before,
But I no longer remember what it wanted to be.
❦
The Pink is fading and, everywhere I go,
reality breaks down into nothingness.
❦
The Pink is fading and I am looking for Home again.
❦
The Pink is fading and I can’t control a flight delayed:
hungry, thirsty, sleepy, halfless…
When I finally realize:
❦
There is no pink out there.
❦
There never was.
❦
It was just a fleeting ray of light
blending with the sunset.
❦
The pink is fading and I don’t
want to share anymore
how I feel.
❦
Stop.
❦
The pink is fading and I don’t care for sweet tea,
nor the yellow taste of chamomile
burning my throat.
❦
I’m not hungry for fake pink cupcakes anymore.
❦
Reality is pink in the fading.
❦
It is the hunger for a fulfilment
that never comes in the color of things.
❦
It is the urge to see the Truth –everything fades.
It doesn’t have to be sad, it can be beautiful.
❦
Then let me die to who I was –the trigger has been pulled.
❦
The Shadow-Lover rescued me, yet again.
❦
I’ll let Her go –the mystic Pink in me– I’ll let Her fade, dissolve in Thee.
❦
Oh, Shadow-Lover, to You and only You I yield.
❦
There’s Black, comforting Shadow of mine, I Thee embrace.
❦
And You birth violet flowers in the graveyard.
❦
This Purple that I am seeing,
❦
Is this a River of fast pacing waves of Being?
❦
The pain came and went,
❦
but You stayed, Beloved.
❦
The Pink has faded, then
❦
Welcome back, Black.
❦
Welcome back, Shadow-Lover.
