---18---
An island so fresh with waiting fruit
And lost green.
So much life in such a simple place:
The water flows along this beach.
I know I have razors
And I have roses.
I have cut myself with both
And I can't touch myself now,
The skin shaved so sore.
I'm afraid of what I can't know.
But you, you always find
A way to loosen my skin.
You teach me lessons
I've followed only in fiction.
I see the world in your eyes.
I see direction.
---19---
You looked inside and uttered,
Immediately,
A story of a thousand sorrow
Covered fears and
An ocean swollen by
Millions of tears.
A river of blood and sweat,
Of secretions sacred
To this body.
You told a story
And told me I lived happily ever-after.
This is the world I'm in.
---20---
The chants and the stone
Ring from the temple bell.
I smell the rose
And the lavender.
I fall into my home,
A bed of flower petals so ripe
With fragrance I fall to sleep
And dream your arms are wrapped around me.
I can't speak to you,
But i have no need to:
In my sleep you hold only me.
