the urge to draw you close to my chest
speak in a clear soft tone of voice
to confess how and all i don’t know
of anything especially
how to survive and still show
love always growing glowing swelling a cleft
into out of my chest for the world
in its wondrous questions
disturbing forever curiosity
even beyond my need to feel normal
safe negotiated pathway through
genuine emotional connection out
of the predicament and into the belief
that my only moral obligation can ever be to show up and live
most me authentically
bugger all the rest
even when we’re terrified
this poem has been playing inside me now for awhile and this morning i read this {a new and terribly overlooked follow for me} at artisticveins.tumblr.com/
the first stanza of her poem titled: There is nothing wrong with me. as quoted below {linked above}, moved and shifted something in me. the rest of the poem made my heart ache and insides cry, and then my poem flowed.
I drift always into
subconscious state mind
every once in a while
with my lower eye lashes
kissing the upper
and my lips releasing a sigh
thanks so sincerely artisticviens - for the words & inspiration. you just never know…in tumblr land. truly awkwardly <3 jillc
