I am lying on my back On a quilted sea Of green and blue. My eyes are closed And I can see me Clearly in my minds eye A swagger in my step, A boy, rising, Full stride. I am raw hide and Warm pelt. My skin is bare and I can feel The fur of a snail trail Beneath my clasped hands Upon my belly. I can smell musk in the air A manliness mixed With the fragrant vulnerability Of nakedness. My eyes are closed And I don’t want to open them. My heart is burgeoning My soul is climbing Evolving I am him. Becoming, Being, And safely rocking on this sea of sweat and dreams spilt. With my eyes closed. Breathing in, Slowly, calmly, For I can feel tears already forming beneath closed lids, I open my eyes And cast a shadowed gaze Downwards And along the lines of what I had been watching Within my minds eye. I cannot lie, Here as I type, I remember that sinking feeling As if I am sinking again now, I don’t know how to describe That ***** feeling Of being stuck inside this skin This skin that lies This skin that hides What is buried deep within me. That which belongs to me, That which is mine. That which has always been and always will be Me. And I cried. My heart surged, it plunged into a scared and hurting blackness. And I felt myself falling Into misery I looked down on the body That was lying On a quilted blue and black see And saw me For what I truly am In the flesh. In those moments I wish I could live my every day Eyes closed And breathing in that which I see inside me I wish I could bury my head inside my heart And depart from the flesh. Hide from this shell This private hell That wears itself outside of me. Eyes open I see me for who I am And I cry And I want only Again For eyes closed. Indisposed, Sickened. I am fit with eyes closed And all I can see Is the man inside me.

I am lying. Eyes closed. Indisposed.
I am lying on my back On a quilted sea Of green and blue. My eyes are closed And I can see me Clearly in my minds eye A swagger in my step, A boy, rising, Full stride. I am raw hide and Warm pelt. My skin is bare and I can feel The fur of a snail trail Beneath my clasped hands Upon my belly. I can smell musk in the air A manliness mixed With the fragrant vulnerability Of nakedness. My eyes are closed And I don’t want to open them. My heart is burgeoning My soul is climbing Evolving I am him. Becoming, Being, And safely rocking on this sea of sweat and dreams spilt. With my eyes closed. Breathing in, Slowly, calmly, For I can feel tears already forming beneath closed lids, I open my eyes And cast a shadowed gaze Downwards And along the lines of what I had been watching Within my minds eye. I cannot lie, Here as I type, I remember that sinking feeling As if I am sinking again now, I don’t know how to describe That ***** feeling Of being stuck inside this skin This skin that lies This skin that hides What is buried deep within me. That which belongs to me, That which is mine. That which has always been and always will be Me. And I cried. My heart surged, it plunged into a scared and hurting blackness. And I felt myself falling Into misery I looked down on the body That was lying On a quilted blue and black see And saw me For what I truly am In the flesh. In those moments I wish I could live my every day Eyes closed And breathing in that which I see inside me I wish I could bury my head inside my heart And depart from the flesh. Hide from this shell This private hell That wears itself outside of me. Eyes open I see me for who I am And I cry And I want only Again For eyes closed. Indisposed, Sickened. I am fit with eyes closed And all I can see Is the man inside me.
