to feel good

i’m still learning how to be mine…

fear or love…
are you fear
or are you love,

to be here with you
– thoughts, energy, and companions

it often takes
for someone to invite us to feel it,
but never return it,
and to deprive us of it where it should’ve been,
to cause us to ache for it enough
when it’s nowhere else to be found,
for us to finally seek it within
– the love

and important,
to speak up, and out, and convicted
from the same mouth that tends
to love and cradles lilies

why you’re here spill out of you

what if we don’t ask this

so breath, and romance,
and what we taste like in every
color of love
can be what fills this space

sometimes,
love people easy
like fine, light rain
be there
but with breathing room
and growing space
asking for nothing
but the glow in their skin

i’ve been held
by rough hands…
and i’m still healing.
to let a good man, be a good man,
it takes a new way…
and i’m still learning.
