And so I sit
In a stunning
But old painting
Perfectly poised
Occasionally admired
But always forgotten

If you sit at a table where
Respect
Love
Compassion
And trust
Are not being served
Politely stand
Collect your plate
And leave

Do not dine
With pigs
Dressed in gentlemen's clothing

Have you ever seen the way
A child looks inside an aquarium?
Or the way a dog
Looks at a new pup
Who has joined the home?
It's that curiosity
That fascination
Bewilderment
That I want my lover to have
When they look at me

I want them to be fascinated by me
For all eternity

I give compassion
Unto the weak
And the meek
But not those who seek
To herald up their deceit

Kindness is giving
Another person your fire
Do not temper with the flame
Or it will go up in rage
A fire
That cannot be tamed

9/6/2019

I do not wish to be
Your whole world
Your everything

Stand on your own soil
Own your foundation
Love your precious world
That makes up
All the imperfectly perfect
Things that are
So incredibly
You

Love yourself
Before you ever love me

My hands cup your face
Like a lily pad catches droplets of water
That fall from the sky
