Intention

There is a light
Beneath my skin
Permeates tissue and
Cells, that hold the memory
Of every word
Of every breath
Of every touch
Of every soul
Passed through my world.

I am sensual
Because of them.
I can be yours
Because of them.
I can love you
Because of them.

I honor these loves,
I thank them.
I've embraced the joy,
The pain,
The broken hearts
Mine and theirs.
I won't sit in melancholy.
I'll smile instead and
Fill my lungs with happy air.
