Armies are made up mostly of the young,
the reasons why are multiple.
But when the young point to their peaceful idealism,
old and staid society does not want to know.
I will travel through the silkiest parts
of his loving heart, feel the sleek strings
to his guitar, strum them with my fingers,
and listen to his soothing voice as he takes me
further away into his striking islands of delight.
I was the sun god
the radiance
the dance of dust
they said don’t look
directly at me
I will burn your eyes
they said don’t name me
I will burn your soul
you were the brave one
never one to believe
the words of the ancients
you entered my realm naked
green eyes wide open
ready for whatever came
you looked right at me
called me love
and now you stand
next to me
and they tell the next
generation to never
look directly at them
swallow all
my words

whole

like pills
release their

magic

into you
let them

flow

through all
your deep

parts

let them
break your

resistance

and turn
you into a

feeling
