The Unspoken

10/31/2013

It's the urge in your soul,
When your mouth waters,
Wanting to consume
That which you've only tasted
But to gobble brings guilt
To starve brings stress
And relief brings regret

It's the moment you want to cry
But you can't quite find the topic of your tears
So you just sigh
And softly, silently
Implode

It's the pull you feel
To do things you can't explain
Just yet
And then you realize
You're only dancing
Into the gravity strings of the Universe

It's the goodbye your eyes whisper
To the wee hours
When the magic colors fade
The sun comes up, bringing daylight
And morning
Says a lingering goodnight...

It's the Unspoken...
That which calls your name
From no particular direction
Gives you a kiss
And sends you off to school
To face the bullies of the new day.

...Aftertaste...

I remember when life was simple and pure, when we had but ask and it be given.
It is now a different day, a different time, a different place...

But I was allowed to take with me, the fruit I had bought, to remind me of who I was, and the garden I left... And this is who I have become...

...a modern-day Eve, gifted with grace, resilience, and strength...but still I struggle in the toxic now, bred on the taste of ripened fruit... for bitter or sweet...

Do you feel me?
