Love and love

If love was pure
If it was pure
And available
Without any price
Without disguise
If love could stay
If only it may
More than a fraction of perception
More than something so loose and unfair
If love was here
For you, me and all
For the broken and the lost
The healed too, at no cost
If love was there
Not being unfair
To the poor in heart
To the weak in soul
If love was true
If only it was
I don’t know what it could cause
Love and love
Dreams of a fool
Fantasies of no rule

At last, it is Me

At last

I smile

After years of waiting

And displeasure of counting

Giving up my old skin

Closing behind the rotting bin

Stretching wings wide apart

For the first time, learning the art

Forgetting mocks and boos

Smirking at the glares in amuse

Overcoming weakness, pain

Standing up for myself, bondage slain

Welcoming the new me

Set free

No more afraid, come what may

I’m bold, I mean what I say

I feel, proud, I feel pretty

I feel life, in all it’s beauty

Saying to myself

This is my true self

I breathe, claiming the air

Fully charged to no compare

I look up

And

At last

Again

I smile
