#alleviated

[howifeltabouthim]

I felt a shadow fall behind me, a burden leave me. And something passed between us . . .

Alleviated

There’s always a risk in letting yourself feel alleviated 

But if you close yourself up to the thrill 

Will you ever feel alive?

.

I grace your hair with flowers or flames

Blooming red or burning tenderness

In the secret garden of my mind

I lick the memories of Spring

.

You have that taste of Spring

I don’t know why

But you’ve always tasted that way

Like thin fresh air on my rosy cheeks on a late morning

Like a calm and dizzy dream, and

.

To the night, we’ve surrendered!

Sanctified our body

Among the cushions and the hangovers

Gave into pleasure

For we are innocent in the eye of the other

.

As if we had never loved 

As if we were teenagers

So shy, so scared, so stupid, so pure 

So sexy, so wild, so lonely, so wide, and

.

Yet as I’m turning my loving into words, I wonder:

Isn’t funny that a person who is so fond of the world of the wordy

Is attracted by the ones who don’t say any?

Released

As if suddenly

The world opened up to you

You let yourself go

Alleviated

Today is lighter With the realization I am whole again
