Eve

fear and feelings
things that I should work on
in the coming year
I reveal too much
I over think
and it backfires
this is not the time for sadness
but this sadness lingers a bit
an answer I require
or just knowing that what I said
really wasn't too much
to drive you away

something happened

a while ago
something happened to me
that changed my life
I could have been killed
many times over
this last time
I asked, "God, what am I?
What do you want me to do?
What is my purpose?"
months later
I'm on a different path
towards progress and
helping fellows
other than myself
a journey that I've been reaching for
since the day I was born.

the conduit

transmitted through your eyes
a light is turned on inside
warming my blood and opening my eyes
to the way this connection works
without knowing why
I'm sure it's there
beautiful in lightness of being
my blood is boiling
waiting for the cool touch of your hand
light on the skin
tight in my muscles
caught in this moment that hasn't happened
but I am happy
to be in your presence
