Poetry Poem: The First Bite
The reassurance of stone walls
Hospital paint reflected in those busy faces
Here I chose the discomfort
Here I chose my birth
That breath which initiated my life
Screamed
For the soul I’d yet to find
Consolation I’d live to search for
Suburban dystopia paralyzed my childhood
City isolation encapsulated my puberty
Emotionally atrophied my soul crawled
Gasping for the gold
Groping for wisdom in my dark I roved
Yet the spring still came, its green sprouting
Populating that barren dusty space
My mind tasted the sweet inspiration of wisdom
It’s nectar like treacle stuck to my pages
Ink diffusing deep into the roots
Fertilizing my insight with an idea
A wonderful thought
A miraculous birth
The alchemical transmutation to love
Burst in the brushing of your lips
An epiphany celestial met me
Felicity touched this first bite
It’s serpentine poison
Which covers the earth
Healing with each new heart beat
In every soul lost lonely in translation
Metamorphosis to the angels wings now
Spreading golden across the dawn.
