Why is everybody naked?
Not out of self-love, alone and in awe.
Not with a partner wit whom you entrust your life.
Not to make a midnight snack in a heatwave.

But. For entertainment.

A science show with naked hosts, not very educational?
To advertise clothing or cars, as if we're still neanderthals.
Our nakedness is owned by everybody else.
So many hands in the ***, we don't know 'how' to be naked.

What if I told you to get out of your head?
If I said humans don't love for methodical reasons.
Your husband is not won by quadratic formulas.
Put down your glossy magazines, they're rewriting who you are.

take off your clothes and be naked, be one with everything you are.
I'm not saying that everybody is beautiful. Of course, they're not!
The multi-billion dollar beauty industry wouldn't allow for that.
I'm saying everybody id here, and human, and present.

No anti-ageing cream can do that!

So shake off your insecurities about the world, for they're manufactured too!

Turns out you were right!
You always liked to have the last word.


....I am too good for you...

You are so heavenly, so divine.
Your existence makes me question my devout atheism.

Zephyrs stirred the warm salty air around my softly sleeping soul.
Orange danced with pinks and reds, the sky ablaze as the sun lays down to rest.
Optograms of you whirl around my head, my feeble raft floats, fearlessly falling.
Macrobian is this? Though guarded, I wistfully wonder,
as mabsoot I am.

Ocean arms envelop me in a coolness so bittersweet, I live and die a thousand deaths swimming in thoughts of you.
Underneath a velvet black sky, I sink, infinite celestial bodies gather to say goodbye.
T**ime may leave my immortal body behind,  
so I will love you enough to last eternity while were here!
Zephyrs = a gentle breeze
Optogram = images burned on the retina
Macrobian = long-lived
Mabsoot = Happy

Thoughts of you linger, time with you is instantaneous.
Alone was a whose beauty only I could ponder.
Loneliness, an elephant in the corner of my mind.
Loneliness, a ferocious beast keeping them out.
Keeping me in.
