Your Beautiful Darkness

DateThursday, October 2, 2014 at 6:55AM

The following quote inspired my poem:

Your Beautiful Darkness

To those I love
I see your darkness
I see your shadow
You have shown it to me a thousand times
Even when you didn’t know you were showing it
Even when you thought you were hiding it
No matter what
I still see
Your unhealed wounds
Your night sweat fears
Your darkest dreams
Your unmet needs
Your hardest struggles
I see yours
Because I know my own darkness
I know my own shadow
Your darkness does not frighten me
And your shadow does not negate your light
That which you try to hide does not push me away
It connects us
Your precious flaws
Just make you more real
Love is
A continuous revelation of our deepest selves
Of our truest selves
Of our most wounded selves
Of our highest selves
To those I love
My arms are always open

                       - Clint Piatelli
