Removing The Denial
at that time
before love was professed
there was already a hint
of the hands
which closed and took the form
of a fist
and the eyes which looked away
from the intended
focus of the
imagined bonding or that wish
for a
more serious togetherness that
promise
of forever i shall be with you
that time shall bless us
when we become one
but no
the eyes of reality are awake
there is no such love
no such state
but only an illusion of you loving
me and i was too stupid to
believe that i have wings to fly
that i have this lightness
to reside on the clouds
i stopped looking
i breathed deeply summoning all the powers
of the wind inside my lungs
and i took all the courage to tell you
this is not right
and we must quit
and there there was this certain
quite that i have learned
slowly to spell
correctly
i remove boldly with my bare feet
that filth of denial.
