Slurred Emotions

A Distance Kiss

1-10-08

So this is the outcome
of too many "what becomes".
There's more to say but I won't,
for I do not like
          feelings of disappoint.
It's not you, it's me...
and it's not me, it's you.
And so it goes...
yeah so it goes.

We could believe in
what we never were apt to achieve.
No sense being bitter,
but what else do I have the sense for?
I should love no one
more than I love myself
and be sure of
something
so much less complicated.

My heart is not an icon.
Love is not a mystery.
Feelings become pervasive
more so than idolatry
         or dentistry.
Explore my mouth
         before
you implore my world.
There's so much more to offer you
besides creativity
or plainness...
my over-saturated girl.
Tell me once you can make it.
Tell me twice you're not faking.
A third time might charm us more
than anything you had before.

Maybe you're more than a dream,
because you're just about
everything
that comes close
to being real to me.
