Wrapped in your lips,

I see the truth,

A glowing lamp post in the night,

-My exposed depths sit upon a throne

A space of healing

When two hearts collide

To become one entity,

It feels like a soft wave

Running over the body

Creating a space of healing

A rare type of medicine

That speaks to souls

Who carry the remnants

Of purity and love

Deep within their veins

No logic exists

But the body knows

The tears that build up

Is the response of a sensitive soul

Aligning with the energy

Of what it once knew

In a world that didn't have density

Merry go round

I feel like I drown in a lake filled with thoughts

That are not entirely mine

I remember how it felt to have your lips

Kiss my ear

As if you were claiming me as your own

I've gotten used to clinging on the merry go round

Of people pleasing

Afraid to break free from the loop

But I don't notice you choking me

With your streams of control,

Until I read your gaze

To find that you secretly love

When I fall helplessly into your palms

Like you planned for us to meet again

Except now I find myself in the void

On whether to accept your advances

Or push you away

As if a dirty filter covers my heart,

And I can no longer hear it

Fiery glow

I undoubtedly showed my heart

Not knowing how you would respond

As the colors in the sky

Resemble how I feel

When the heat rises

A fiery glow

That only you bring out of me

I swim in a pool of a fantasy

Where you and me

Become lovers

I try to wipe away

My feelings as if it was an annoying bug

That I could get rid of if I tried

In your presence, my walls cannot hold,

And my heart seeps through the cracks

When you are naked to the world

When you put a label on your authenticity,

You are not operating in your soul's truth,

You are merely in an unconscious loop

Vulnerability doesn't need to be shown to the world

Most people want to believe they are truly letting go of the chains that bound them in fear,

But they are just putting on a performance

With a different mask

And a different limitation,

The ego wants to create a vulnerable narrative,

One where you believe the filters

Have dropped to the floor

And you are naked to the world

It's a resonance you cannot ignore

That determines if you're still hiding

Or your soul is the driver

You don't need to broadcast who you really are,

Because your soul wants you

To find the love in you

And to sit with the deep rivers that exist

When others aren't looking

That is peace and the gateway

To merging back with your soul

The world sees vulnerability and authenticity

As a weakness

You're no longer able to play the games

When you finally undress and take away the filters

The lightning bolt of sovereignty

Is not lightweight

But a heavy homecoming

It is you coming back to your truth,

A type of power few have truly tapped into

No words,

No actions,

Just you being in a frequency

Where silence is expression

And your heart knows it

Love, poems Alexis Elcox Love, poems Alexis Elcox

Complex riddle

You are a complex riddle

That I constantly try to convince myself

Not to solve

Because pain lies on the other side

And I don't know if I can handle it

My heart wants to keep beating

For the moments filled with the sound of your laughter

And the times when teasing melts the ice

That has shielded you

From showing your true self

One single kiss

Is enough to send me inside a delusion

Of my own doing

To feel that I've escaped the ache

For a love that may never appear in reality
