is there ignorance in bliss?
or is there bliss in not letting
one define the other

Intimate in sleep
elicits sweet response
from that birthright place
of undefended Here I Am !
No need of  armor shell
that's worn by serious day
pretending to disdain
your softness...
  proof of worthy man

moved all day
satisfied
with fragrant daffodil bouquet
cooked with honey
loved his wrist
after dinner goodnight kissed
but night is silent
I want more
not to do
but feel
satisfied
doesn't last

i used to taste like finger nails,
ragged stumps refreshing
against my lips, like a sip
slaking thirst.

i proved my jaws powerful enemies
and de-clawed myself
to languish in
the burn of the quick.

when blood pumped to the furthest
reaches of my body,
my torn nails throbbed to the beat,
craving kisses.

my teeth were soft and
so was everything about me.
but strong enough
to be compared to steel.

i was powerful
when i made myself weak
because the universe
is hardly ever subtle.

now i taste like cigarettes,
the cheapest mint, and medicine
but my keys can open
thicker skins.

I could sit in the sand, and forever stare at the ocean,
Counting the grains before they wash into the sea.
But I’ll choose to stay ahead of the tide,
So the waves will never catch up with me.

I can’t drown if I never set foot in the water,
I can’t shine unless I’m in the dark.
I can’t miss you if I never let you go,
And I can’t mend an unbroken heart.

I can’t turn back time to get you back,
I can’t pretend that nothing is wrong.
I can’t act like losing you was easy,
And I can’t accept that you’re gone.

One day I’ll see you again,
One day we’ll be together.
One day I will get you back, never let you go.
And one day we will start forever.

I could go on forever realizing what I can’t do,
Or I could pass the time with joyful things,
And count down the time until I see you.
