It cuts you like water It tires like cold It nests in your vision like fire. Wakes up in the morning, confusingly painful Wired and restlessly wrestling the way through the fold We wished away wishes Of following bliss Yet liars are at least at the tips of the fingers I touch like an angel Softy and gentle Gently softening pain But if fingers are stiff, eyes are diverted Then why must we linger on venom and curses and dissatisfaction And courses of action like rattle snakes caged in their own straddling hold. Haven't I told you lately? That I love you Did I forget to praise you enough? Was it a cause of craving hearts? So you run like the devil you revel and run. Till you heave of fatigue and you burn like the sun And you drip down like water Like glistening ships Sailing down on your body the heat on your skin and the salt Haven't I told you lately? That I love you Did I forget to praise you enough? Was it a cause of craving hearts? Did I not hold you tightly? Or kiss you Was I at fault entirely? A miss Did I not caught you rightly? Was I wrong? Assuming you were A woman of the light
