A Union

Life was alone, no name, no memory. It had hands, but no one to

touch. It had a tongue, but no one to talk to. Life was one, and one was

none.

Then desire drew his bow. The arrow of desire split life down the

middle, and life was two.

When they caught sight of each other, they laughed. When they touched each other,

they laughed again.

loving u is like a revolution

(within me

                          ) a change

i can feel

but i can’t see

a movement

a revival of sorts;

slowly bringing back to life something I thought was dead

or unused for so long that it had closed up

loving you is like a revolution

a spinning around in my head

a new heart

to replace the old one that had hardened

from prolonged exposure to the cold, lies, bullshit, and the lack of appreciation.

and suddenly I’m loving what I used to hate

and hating what I used to love

I don’t care that I’m wearing clothes I don’t like, obviously,

or spending hours with you at the mall

or going to your church

because I’m with you and loving you.

what am I doing,

and who is this person that made this new change?

this is not like me;

what is happening?

I know what it is….

I’m being loved and cherished and appreciated and respected in return!
