hurting

my soul grazed itself
on you, a combination
of soothing pearls
in my grasp
and tethered nerves
tender with love
to depart

my electricity well
swelled then collapsed
on itself, hot coals
could never have the baring
to slay emotion
i keep the touch

of dewdrop falling
into your hands, cupped light
open my curtains
to a monotonous fuzzy day
indifferent to the wind
the world over
sensing the feat of
prophecy defying
self-defeat

my wind washed my face
to trees that are breathing
it caressed my red face
and says love graze yourself
on razor-sharp edge
we seek the underneath
but find amongst shadows
the things and emotions
that make us so
complete
