enlightenment by love

I had a kinfe across my chest,

In a dark room

by myself

I didn't know what to do

the rats of my

self unrespect

were eating me

my heart was consumed

I didn't let any light

In

any light, even the light of my own,

I wanted to die

I felt usseless

and unloved

lonely

dead.

Somewhere, somehow

the light burst into my room

a lady walked in

circled with an aurea

of gracefulness

retrived the knife from my chest

wept the blood

killed the rats

rose me up
huged me while
I was in tears
said the words
of enlightenment
after
a moment of pause
and a kiss of love

The windows
the walls
the doors 

all broke

and light infested

every corner

of me.
