The END or the BEGINNING?! - Poetry.

I had not written a poem in English in a while but today I overdid myself LOL. I say that because I truly love this one and how much truth there is behind it: truth in my own life, truth for so many women's lives, truth for lovers, truth for divorced couples, truth for new love stories, truth for the past, the present and the future. This one is deep, raw, original and truly from the heart. I mean I always write from the heart but this one writes a story that hits home to me, a story that hits inside my heart. This poetry writes a story that has sad and hard chapters but nevertheless a story that has a happy ending (or is it a beginning)?! I hope you like it. I truly do!


The END or the BEGINNING?!
(Freshly-written, Wednesday May 13th, 10.40 P.M. Eastern Time)

The end or the beginning?!
I am overdue yet living!
As the bread crumbs fall on the ground,
the world crumbles around,
darkness passes the light,
failures and successes collide,
the yesterday and the tomorrow
one a lost memory, the other we hope not a sorrow,
Where I go, where do you go?!
Where I walk and talk, where do I strike?!

The end or the beginning?!
I am coughing, laughing, dying!
As mother nature brings us more fires and hurricanes,
and a world pandemic stirs and shakes within,
boyfriends and girlfriends fall in lust,
what comes next is betrayal and mistrust,
a love story that will soon be forgotten,
emotions that once were, today feel rotten...
Where I go, where do you go?!
Where I fall and bruise again, where I get up to walk again?!

The end or the beginning?!
I am here, I am surviving!
As I am the only one walking in my shoes,
sometimes through the darkest nights, passing through the blues,
passed by some deep dark forests too,
I said a prayer for me, for you...
I offered my heart a warm embrace
when no one else was in sight to give me solace,
when the paths were all steep and long,
when I had to be brave alone, myself strong,
when I was beat up, broken and betrayed,
when I was cold, crossed and inside my own head ...caged,
when I hurt my heart on my way to heal it,
when I entered inside another heart and started to peel it,
when I was naked in front of you and you saw my soul,
as I was ready to jump into love - this deep, big hole...
This hole that can suffocate and choke,
this hole that can make us breathe even through a stroke,
it can do so much in such a little time,
it can chase us into Peter Pan adventures
and turn us into Alice in Wonderland!

The end or the beginning?!
I am here hearing, seeing, feeling, living!
In this beautiful garden hand by hand with you,
as a blue iris turns into a coral peony,
as I understand what it means to love again,
as I re-learn to trust, to savor, to trust my own brain,
...and Paris dreams of love stories come to mind,
midnight summers on a beautiful Mykonos sunset...
Where I go, where do you go?!
Here we are together, you fall, I fall in love...
