pit

i am the pit
the hard center of a juicy fruit
red liquid drips from my center
as my flesh is ripped and swallowed

lick your fingers
not quite satisfied
have your fill of me
take me apart piece by piece

i am yours for the taking
i give myself organically to you
selfless, caring far too much.

the cleanse

dripping bark
dewy moss
wet city
like the kisses you gave me
open and ready for the flood.

wash me over
bring out the green in my eyes
challenge my heart to beat faster
love harder, stronger
i want to feel life following through us.

pupils dilate
senses heighten
as we plunge into the unknown
waves crash at all sides
could we ever be strong enough?

clouds part
sun shines
rejuvenated, i stand up
look over, solitude
strength is mine
and mine alone.

the power of a noble heart
the clarity of a noble mind
i take one step forward
smiling and answering, no.
