A PORTRAIT OF THREE LOVE
CHAINED HEARTS AND SHADOWS
I am in love with my prisoner,
Chained to a heartbeat that won't set me free,
Bound by the weight of familiar sorrow,
Held captive by memories only I can see.
I am in love with the toxic ex,
A bruised passion that still stings sweet,
Drunk on the ache, sipping bitter regrets,
Lured back to the wounds I swore I'd defeat.
I am in love with imagined love,
A dream that glows in borrowed light,
A soft illusion I cling to at night,
Where everything’s perfect, and nothing’s right.
Each love a shadow, a ghost, a tether,
Yet here I remain, lost in forever.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.
