You didn’t see the blemishes, You didn’t feel the bumps
The bristles, the lumps
You skim your tongue over me
As if I were made of milk
Lapping at silk
All the parts I hated
Berated over the years
Have disappeared.
Your fingers
Your lips
Are smoothing me over
Like a brand new shape
A perfect sculpture
And I’m beginning to think
I’m not all that bad
I’m beginning to think..

We cling to each other like limpets As wretched storms howl above Hurling light back and forth Havoc outside our beautiful bliss. Angry seas won't take you from me Nor greedy fingers searching for salty mouthfuls Your softness is mine tonight Your ebb and flow The angry mass can come and go But now the winds have calmed And gull cries can be heard again The floating remnants of unfortunate wrecks Will keep us buoyant And though we may feel a chill All around us the water is still.

Today I spilled right out of my skin
My blood ran over and over
Full of wonderful life
I wanted you all to know what it was like
To look at wind the same way as I do
To see the swirling leaves dance especially for me.
I think I entered a wormhole on my own
Because everyone else was quite forlorn
And when I danced in the rain
They put up their umbrellas.

I’m preparing for the next world
My dreams tell me so.
The worlds to which I travel
Unravel me.
Night by night I move closer to the light.
Or is it dark?
Which is better?
I have always preferred dusk.
There are seas of souls floating in misty lakes
People I’ve never met.
Waiting.
I will be a new person soon
I will get another start.
Did I mess up this life I wonder?
Did I sleep through it all ?
Some of us were made to dream
Some to plough soil.
Don’t blame me for the ethereal life
Although I try not to blame myself.
In the next one I won’t.
In the next one I will try to remember my original sin
Do we carry the memories through instinct? Gut feeling?
I hope so.
At least then I might have the inner strength of all the ‘me’s’ before.
Each life I live or have lived will propel me through those mists to the better body
The better life.
I hope I don’t forget my struggles.
I hope I’m kinder.
At least I will get to be a child again.
But I’ll miss this.
I hope your skin on mine will feel the same next time around.

I’m calling for a revolution
And it starts in your own circle
In you own sphere.
With those that you hold dear.
Or did.
Try with them. Try your best
Let old follies and rages rest.
Hold out your hand in peace
Let your own battle cease.
These small wars. These small rages
Blot you life with blackened pages.
But when you look to bigger wars
You can’t understand the cause
It’s hard to see a reason
Why murder and violence mark every season.
But look at your life.
Examine your soul
Let the mending begin at home.
This revolution can be small
And might feel no good at all
But I promise you that if you all take part
The vibes of progress will really start
To spread outwards from its core
And overlap more and more
And soon your circle will be the world
And your tiny voice will have been heard.

My sad eye is pressed up against the wall
I heard the nightingale’s silent call
Out there everything shimmers
You in the middle of a lake that glimmers
Flora and fauna and mossy roads
Faeries and pixies and croaking toads.
Water spouting out your finger
A thousand reasons to let me linger
Staring out at your bright world
Ignoring the fact that I’m being absurd.
Is it better to have a crack
Or does it just highlight what I lack?

Your persistence paid off…
I love you.
Yep that’s it. I do.
You are human after all.
And that is my only requirement.
A semi-decent human and I’ll be yours forever.
That’s why I don’t allow myself to go so easy.
There isn’t enough of me to divide out with you all.
That’s why it took so long.
But once you chip away the shell
I’m all soft inside.
I’m like slime in those kids toys.
Throw me around and I’ll stick to the wall
I’ll stick to you all.
So be careful.
Once I’m covered in fluff
You’ll have enough
