“Coming home

I carried her away a long time ago no handprints remain faint scars …now art and poetry

this is not home. It never was Just a place I felt pain in, did time in. Never felt safe in, Never belonged in

Still they deny the Blood on the keys imagination saved me stories and worlds eccentric characters happy endings

We longed for people who loved deeply held tightly laughed loudly cried honestly

I wonder how I ever survived

I tell a new friend ‘the Lesbians saved me , brought me alive’…we laugh let’s face it some of them also nearly killed me !

Wild sistas magic at the margins liberation soup …soul family

Cut my nice girl chains pain swallowed Released With sharped edged labyris fuck this Set me free

They gave me somewhere I belonged

I have travelled so far from here,made many lands home Created spaces safe falling places

She says each tightly coiled family system needs a person to burst its banks

Flow out grow - you were it …I always worried I’d abandoned my younger self that some part of her was left here

Returning she tells me No we left long ago and you, you volcano of magic

Rising from the howling void ‘You saved me …made dreams a reality, built beautiful days ridiculous nights

Watched moons light up oceans, created pathways where there were none a million hopeful sunrises

wove a tapestry of hearts incredible souls forever linked Painted new universes

Permission giving once in a lifetime moments one after the other

You loved her beyond life Stood at deaths edge Steadfast and strong Came back to tell the story

You said everything that was unspoken even if it would never be heard by those who needed to hear

Bravely dancing into unknowns An imperfect magnificence they will never ever see

You came home to yourself a long time ago

This was not a coming home It never was

This is just a place You once survived
