Soul Unmuted

They say the truth will set us free, but does it?

Let us find out. Let us throw caution to the wind!! I am putting my inhibitions down and freeing myself of any potential consequences of my own being.

Let's take a sneak peek into this mistress of darkness, Nightmare in Red. She is inviting you into the shadows of her soul. A sharing of her secrets that might shock you, if you knew the whole truth. The secret ingredient of stories untold or of ones forgiven and let go.

She is the temptress that lives inside your heart. She is the believer in dreams and wishes on stars. She is sexy in her poetic seduction that wraps you in a moment that feels special and loved.

You become bewitched by her smile and feel embraced by her charm. You become her only desire in any given exchange. Her love holds strong like the powers of addiction in the stare of a vampire.

She wants to be the warmth in your sunlight. She wants to be the reason you smile like you have a secret. She wants to be the light that brings you through the dark. She wants to be the joy that opens your heart to the true meaning of love. She wants to be your guilty pleasures of the night. She wants to free you from your secrets so you can fly!

Mostly, she is the muse in this story. She who is hopelessly addicted to the games of love. She who wants to leave you breathless in the moment and leave you craving more when she is gone. She wants to give you a song that becomes number one on your list of one hit wonders.

A memory you smile upon when you feel alone or perhaps serve as the lesson she is meant to be in your story. She wants to be an inspiration of Hope. She is this version of me that is hiding just beneath the surface of who I am destined to be. A reminder of love long after the song ends.

The world is harsh and judgmental, and I find that unleashing her upon the people would be cruel; not to them, but to her soul. She is here to tell a love story that will far surpass any fairytales of love. She has been full of heartbreak and loss but still believes in a love that defies what we see and know.

How do I bring her to life? Life is hard and defeating when in a constant state between love and war. I say that as every day is a fight for life in this human experience.

She is you, whose dreams have been battered and bruised in this game of life. Whose heart has been caged for too long from the lesson life has thrown your way. She is you whose wings are afraid to spread and fly, bound in time to the rituals of life.

She wants to feel alive and be free from the obligations of life. She wants to be the bringer of sunshine and laughter to your day and wants to be a positive imprint on your heart. She wants to make a difference and be an example of change and to leave the world a better place.

This is who I really am but not always what people see. I am a bringer of chaos and can leave you in a storm of confusion when I shatter the mirrors around me into shards and pieces; and that is without even trying. Is she a curse that I carry inside me?

Things are so complicated here on Earth and it can be hard; but I suppose no harder than I choose it to be. How can I be her when I can be so extreme. Will I ever be this she?

Maybe this love inside me is only a dream

Maybe I'm insane by the expectation of life

Maybe it is a wish only the angels can give

Maybe she is the kind only found in the afterlife

Maybe in Heaven....

Signing off,

It's me, Your Nightmare in Red
