Your Arms...

Your arms feel like
what safe would be
if you could touch it
and I can breathe deeply
without regret or
second guess
so I fall harder
into your heartbeat
looking for
neverending peace
in a moment I pray
can be made to
last forever
in the imprint
of when my life
took form in the
illustration of
if I had my way
and grew
day by day...

I can't help
when in your arms
feeling like
I fit there
between the
rage and radiance
balancing brilliance
am I centered
by the air
that is
you...

And when
I'm in your arms
I find purpose
beyond my skin
lay bare
all that is too
within
and rest
take slow breaths
find my way back
to my best
my purest...

so I can
get up
again.

Stay & Go

I got two sides
but they equal more like
maybe four to
anybody lacking
2 fish flipping round
inside a body
that looks like
normal like
everyone else
rather I have
oceans inside
who's tides are
controlled by the
moon and too much
wisdom too soon
causing crashing
and retreating
and even in stillness
still beating
making it impossible
to hold all of me
unless you can
stay and go
love me too much
and not let me know
ravish me
then run away
say good-bye
but mean see you later
make never the same
as of course
without being facetious
can one
hold onto two
and even though
it seems impossible
I still gotta
ask you to
because I need you
to love me
for all of me
like I
love
you

or the love
becomes something
all of me
can't do
