bodyparts 39


mating, relating, the love maze n shit
to get very close
without
feeling bad
from embarrasing hair

to get
in there
tight
between thighs
without feeling
trapped
n just kicking back
or fear
to be kicked
as might be the case

to give all i have
without losing
a thing
specially not
selfrespect

to grow
n the glow
to raise from the low

i've got friends
A                  (from the low)
B                  (start to grow)
n C               (total glow)
who said it can happen
from giving up shit
from looking real deep
from just being there
when the right one
walks in

they say it is love
or a similar
state of mind
as they all flip their hair
n laugh with their eyes
i do trust my friends
n the way that they glow

but i don't trust codes
learning
trix or a way
to figure out how
who n why
doing what
the pure art of guiding
(called strategy)

reading signs
eating spice
flipping sides
turning round
or bow to the moon
doesn't help
i can tell

instead it could be
to see gaps
not dark holes
to slide in
to be there
to feed
the hunger
for real
to drink
every cup
of love that i get
n then pour me some more
please!
fill it up to the rim!

set me free from the trap
of neglect

This is powerful--I'm too polite to venture a guess!

But you poetic voice is quite strong and clear.

there's no need to be too polite
i know it can feel embarrasing when the guessing gets close enough but isn't that what it's all about
getting in there...tight

i thank u for coming over
reading my bits n pieces
