Bodies of Light
December7
Devouring tasty light
Savouring every molecule
I lick the light off my lips
Expert wall builders
A word hits us sideways
And we throw up a steel wall
I’m practicing to
Tear down that wall!
Right after I throw one up.
I don’t want to live in
Those lonely, dark shadows
Of my own walls anymore
Forgetting is easy
When words hit you like light
Just keep your rose-colored lenses on
People’s fears reek like death
You are punished for your fear
By those that love you
They will hold up mirrors
Until you take off
Your ugly mask
The most feared among us
Just wants to bask
In love’s sunshine
Next to the rest of us
On the shores
Of heaven’s ocean
Some get fed by people
Some get fed by nature
But all can taste the silvery liquid
Of love’s grace.
