Twin Flames

She knocked on the door
to his house of pain
to borrow a cup of intellect.


He led her in,
became her friend, and
showed her tomorrow
in retrospect.

They spoke of love and dreams,
quantum physics
fear and hope,
cultural anthropology, etymology,
math and all its digits,
over beer and smokes.
Thought vibrations for him
put things in order;
quiet where noise
was the only reality

In silence he absorbed her;
injected her with poetry,
philosophy, and musicality.

Energies separated
from bodies, merged
above space and time.

She dissected his heart,
his mind, found rabbit holes
into his rhyme.

Somewhere in the twilight
the poet became her lover,
the poet became her prince.

Addictive love,
higher than any other,
soul ties that were 

a shock to the senses.

She put her consciousness in captain mode,
saw the universe replaced.

He slowly removed her bible belt;
total freedom they embraced.

Passion; prayer and worship,
angels sang as he drank her sacrifice.

Love burned ice blue 

like a wedding 
of darkness and light.

Big Bang Evolution; two gods created,
cherished, embraced, celebrated,
resonated.

Gave birth to ecstatic souls;
and love was 

no longer isolated.

  13. I have read this now three times and enjoy the flow of the poem. My thought is that you could experiment with cutting a few 'and' - I have a tendency to link ideas with 'and' and I noticed it in this poem. But perhaps I am projecting :) I think this is a strong poem.

  14. He slowly removed her bible belt
    and total freedom she embraced.


    As a person of faith, I'm not offended by this, and I actually find it one of the most interesting images in the poem. The problem is that it doesn't flow well into the next stanza:

    Their passion was prayer and worship,
    angels sang as he drank her sacrifice.


    What is her sacrifice? To whom is she sacrificing? (The Poet? Hmmm ... the feminists will eat you alive.) Sacrifice is presented here as a vague concept -- and vaguely vampire-ish at that (very cliche these days). Sacrifice is in itself a very rich concept with a lot of poetic potential for you to explore. Now, back to the preceding stanza -- what does "total freedom" have to do with sacrifice? Seems to me that she embraced something a bit more constraining when she let him remove her bible belt. Explore this and play around a bit at the edges. Very interesting poem. I liked it.

On Killer Mike's new album Michael

  I'm sorry to hear about Killer Mike's loss and the struggles of his family members. It takes courage to share these personal experiences with the world through music . Regarding his critical acclaim, it is important to recognize that mainstream media often fail to recognize and uplift voices from marginalized communities. These voices are often overlooked or condemned to the margins because it challenges the status quo and the dominant narrative . If you listen to Killer Mike's music, I hope you approach it with an open mind and an appreciation for his willingness to speak truth to power. I would hope that his message would inspire listeners to examine their own lives and the systems that contribute to inequality and oppression. In the fight for justice and equity, we need diverse voices to be heard and amplified. We must uplift and
