I am stranded on this island
many shores away from you,
2 months feel like years;
Luckily, I have everything I need
good company, safe refuge,
food, paid projects
and the glimpse of a brilliant future
showing up on my doorstep;
I am excited again!
But I am stranded here without you
every day I remember
what you showed my heart
my body and mind
what I am really here for
to light up like we did
when we were together
two souls lighting up each other
and the whole world.
You didn’t ever hold back
and I didn’t think you were
what I was looking for
but you kept going
surrendering all that you were,
and I surrendered to your
wild fire touches
and let go of everything
that used to hold me back.
I want to keep remembering
the time we were together
your wild kisses and unfettered love,
you touching me everywhere,
sparking life into my body,
into my heart.
You reminded me why I am here;
to light up the world
with my spark.
Time may make me forgetful
as it tends to do,
so just know my fire, my love
every day, I keep reminding myself
that we were together once
and can be again
so when I can leave this island behind,
I am coming to you,
to light you up, heart and all.
