It feels like being cut open ever so lightly, ever so precisely
with the edge of a bleeding ribbon
at a thousand different points of your skin
It feels like being kissed lightly
with soft lips that bruise your skin
like blooming purple flowers
or a blushing cloud that adorns the West as the sun bids her farewell
It feels like a thousand secrets being revealed
soft voices murmuring against your skin
talking rapidly -you can barely catch their words
It feels like being tickled at your heart
invisible fingertips within the cavity
trespassing, reaching
reaching that throbbing mass of unwilling life
So much!
Feeling this air weigh against my delicate skin
feeling, feeling,
Oh so much!
Enveloped in life,
taming the rising pulses of Being that threaten to over-pour
Tonight,
as dusk settles the veil of darkness upon the earth
my soul hovering close to the ceiling,
I am drowning in thin air as it fills my reluctant lungs
I am expanding in an eternity till my breath feels palpable…
Tonight,
I am overwhelmed
I am overwhelmed by being human.
