Love is Under Me

Poetry by Ryan Oelke, Screenwriter & Director

The Angels Laughed

I fell
and the angels laughed
while the demons danced.
They held my heart in front of me
mocking its dwarfed soul,
and pulverizing the beams that hold this world together.
I stared into the sun,
praying for it to scorch the pain in my body
and the moon to breathe Love into the ashes that remain.

Love’s Peal Dancing in My Heart

The seasons pass through your eyes
the sun dancing on your lips.
God rang the chime in your heart
long before I had ears to hear
but felt long before I saw my face,
always knowing yours,
calling me back
to where it all began.
