naivety

naivety made me think a relationship

is actually carved from my own rib bone
with my flesh fleshing and blood thickening kinship
spicing with dreams and breathing a vision

such sculpture i thought will survive beyond

my demise and grave, that pit
or furnace, where all are eventually eased
leaving the living to fashion an eternity

reality, however, revealed my stupidity

and re-taught, with hard knock on head
that dead figurines are bought and sold in market
with contracts scattered like sperms, or torn

perfect pearl

trapped inside that shell

underneath that ocean bed
i a perfect pearl
wait for a hand that knows

both the craft and the world

of commerce to pick me
to transact a sale
filling wallet and my heart

dance with peace

alone i stand short like that smashed glass
ready to be scattered, to be interred inside
a grave yard with my brokenness
in body, mind, soul, and human ties

but with full of sap, that thick and thin

life affirming and life giving spirit alive
with masks thick and thin discarded
for dance naked with no dress rehearsal

to continue into eternity, a land

absent of ego and confusions
with love reigning and love raining
continuously i shall dance with peace
