Comfortable

I sink back into you
Like a well-worn sofa

How

I walk through this world
Back full of sagging arrows
Feeling the gouged wounds
Pricks all lodged in me

I want to be made of blossoms
Rose petals that swirl
Carried by the wind like music
Light and present in the moment

Opposed

I feel everything all at once
Emotions pouring out of every crack
Drowning in an overflowing cup

Or
I feel
Nothing
At all.

Water

I was a spring
A well
Cool clear water

Sea of amorous musing

Definitely an ocean
Whose salty depths are
Darkness
Pressure

Be Silent

These wounds in my chest
Do all the talking these days

Cold

Calluses form
Softness hardens
Pulls a heavy cloak of
Indifference over me

Safe Bet

I'm glad you chose her
Safe bet
I would never let you
Tame me
