Angel Light

by Tom Kitt — Read all 95 poems by Tom Kitt

In Western culture there are few, if any rites of passage for young people at the onset of puberty. This poem was inspired by a conversation with a young woman.

'Lead them like a flower in shock for they hold the key to freedom's lock'

Angel Light

'I must tell you about my plight
About confusion, rage and fright
About how my body changed your mind
Made me feel a lesser kind.

'I was just a girl of twelve
On my bike - a boy of nerve
I was very much with you
Boys and girls all fit one shoe.

'But when my body made me she
I found out the world was ‘he’
I became a sight to see
He became the force to be.

'When my blood of shame was free
I became the best of me:
A flower's peak of bursting growth
Spiting the Conspirator's mortal yoke.

'Thought I was quite out of mind
Felt so strong this urge to bind
Want to mate, I need my kind
I want the love I left behind.

'How I suffered for this instinct raid
This world's a patriarchal fade
Much forgotten, much is gone
I was used - became confused.

'Killed my child, my gentle way
Used my body, sex to play
Tried so hard to build loves way
But only lost more with each day.

'Now I have a fear-bound mind
Abortions made me change and say
I will measure how I play
I will play my cards to stay.

'My fragile heart I keep at bay
Measuring my love to control my pay
No one prepared me - I hate this!!
Killing love is the price to pay.'

When the Angel flowers to light
The girl has wisdom to ease our fright
A special time, a glorious find
Human potential beyond the mind.

A rite of passage must be found
To reap this harvest, plant new ground
To nurture this most precious gift
To teach the girl the quantum shift.

Nature is a garden of remembrance
Inspired perfection's teasing dance
All humanity is perfect too
Wisdom comes when flowers are true .

Soul serching write and one to be pondered over and to take the right attitude of these young girls and their forbidden love and how the trouble comes to them and they have to get help and live with what they have done.

A fine write Tom, laced with some of the essences of a different culture. Humanity is so multi-faceted and Western culture does very little to enlighten the soul.

Light and Wisdom ...
