Happier

 
We danced
to the rhythm
of our soul
as he coiled
himself
upon my lean
trunk
absorbing
one another’s light
equally
reflecting it back
onto his salubrious ways
giving him
the very quintessence
of my being
until he extracted my heart
and
shoved it in his back pocket
to ensure I don’t stray 

because

I loved him
more
than he loved me

captivated

I became
a slave
to his
kind
of
nourishing
elated
mystified
but he was
never
unjustified
as we indulged
in the pleasures
of the flesh
in my dreams

until he
intricately 
embedded
his unrivalled desires
into the cavity
of my chest

and our love
had
no boundaries
no borders

none of those
man made
indicators 
as they were
invisible
as our hearts
aligned

knowing & seeing

is experiencing
the
diversity

that lingers
within his
beautiful heart & soul

and I was
happier
with him
strumming
upon my strings
as I was
happier
loving him
until my
heart
felt the sway
of his
Appalachian
dreams
that lingered
within
the distance

and we
loved & lived
knowing
that the soul
knows
deeper
than what
is on
the physical
plane

and I still
crave
the touch & taste
of the muse
that haunts
me
from dusk til dawn.
