I am a honey bee
I'll give you my sweet nectar
But mess with my honey heart
And I'll sting you stiff
I have flowers in my hair
And no stripes to spare
I buzz around in the air
You have to be clever to catch me

The bottom of my root catches the cement
Each curve gripping it tightly
Curves as unique as I am
My feet dance across the cool pavement
Dancing to the beat of the wind
Whooshing across the floor
As the wind glides in and out
In and out through my fingertips
And the strands of my hair
For a second I close my eyes
I am nowhere
I am everywhere
The only anchor is the wind
Reminding me I am a formless being
My particles connected to the particles of the universe
Barriers cease to exist
The unique curves of my feet
Curves that only belong to me
Now belong to the universe

I am an explorer of souls
My ears and eyes my vessel
The coffee shop my microcosm
Each person has a story created by me
I navigate the terrain of their crooked smiles and baggy eyes
and create the geological history of their heart
Its an arduous task,
being an explorer of souls
Sometimes their sadness leaks inside me,
a vast river of tears
But sometimes their joy radiates everywhere,
the great sun radiating down upon me

I looked across the room
my gaze hazy from the sweet alcohol
and saw you dancing with another girl
Your fluid movements of adoration
clear as crystal among the sea of people
I saw the way you looked at her
The same way you looked at me seven songs ago
I imagined myself dancing underneath the soft lights
our feet lightly dancing with each other
my milky gaze lost in the sea of your beautiful blue eyes
But instead I am drowning in this sea of people, lost and lonely.

Undress me
Underneath these clothes
Underneath this flesh
Is my soul
Caress me with your sweet words of poetry
Make me laugh like you make me moan
Let us dive deep underneath the covers
Where I'll uncover the mystery of your soul
