Ok let me tell you of the
relief

head is under
warm wet silence fills the crevice
my body feels complete

water
warm water
weightless
wonder

ok let me tell you of the
grief

the part before the warm relief

unrelentless madness
burns behind my eyes
like someone
like me
scratching with their
uncontrolled pen
retelling a story
i can not bend
my eyes the canvas
the unknown writers best friend

ok let me tell you of the
joy

a rare beautiful
captured invisibly in my jar
heart
light filled with complete
a desperate plea
for a consistent flow
beams!
light!
joy!
melody!

oh float, sing and float
with me my friend

know my heart
please come in
know the make up
from within

ok let me tell you of the
regret

Walls come up
enough is said
too many
judging
eyes on me
deflect you
apologies
empty smiles
run a fucking mile

ok anger follows

its not quite formed
armed with reactive
emotions
stop
muscles tense
resistance flops
sharp
edged
fire

ok let me tell my
love

fresh squeezed lime
the curved embrace
fingers traced
within
my warmth
heart
beating
pumping
touching
easy breathing
cooking
a cotton cloud

a warm relief
i seek
