OUR LOVE WAS THE REMINDER

You were a gatekeeper to all that I had kept hidden.
Hades inviting Persephone into her own depths.
And in that underworld labyrinth I picked up all my pieces again.
A broken little girl who longed to be loved,
A priestess battered by too many lifetimes spent silent,
An oracle with wide eyed vision and prophecy,
A wild artist who breathes freedom and passion
Gremlins and monsters of insecurity,
The face of the dark Goddess standing before me,
Whispering softly
“I am what you came here for,
Eat yourself whole.
Pick up all the pieces, and remember why you have come.”
And in that black mirror of our bond,
I forgot I was who I came here to love.
I got lost in the maze while my inner voice screamed my name.
You were the darkness that showed me the stars within,
Reminding me that I am the night sky and the moons glow.
And I bow to you with reverence,
Not as a lover, but as a teacher you never knew you were.
