Follow Your Bliss

There must be more wisdom

Caressing your tiny white hairs

Than to care who is right or wrong

Or argue about who makes excuses or truths.

 

I'd rather trace the map of your past

On your unshaved face or wrinkled forehead

Than to guess the answers

In your wordplays or wordwars.

 

I think it is better to enjoy your food

Than think about how your belly got bigger.

I still find something **** in your dancing steps,

In your silent smile or whispered words.

 

I would rather imagine your arms around me

Than your absence on my weekends or my tomorrows.

But I also enjoy the safe distance when our eyes meet

Or the dangerous proximity smelling your presence.

 

I got pictures in my head of your romanticized image.

Memorized by my heart beating louder than your colorful watches.

Why should I think about possibilities of regret?

When I can just follow my bliss here with you.
