How Much

Vastness
is a concept
created to stretch boundaries
of perception and allow for
the unknown to present itself.

Love
is a concept
created to shrink a vastness
down to a bite sized morsel
easy to consume without ever
fully understanding it's size.

You are internally vast,
though your body contains
your reality inside and my
love for you is delicious,
bite sized and made of
perceptions of who we are
when our atoms collide.

Like the universe,
the true size of this love is
unknown and expanding
but I will bring you only
pieces you can fit into your
jean pockets and take with you
so that you never feel scarce.

Rationing out this feeling
so that it may last a life time is
a boundary I am still learning
how to draw each morning
when I wake and attempt to
taste your love for me.

We are expanding into the universe
ot it is expanding into us, either way
we can fill this vast space with a
passion that knows no bounds,

one bite at a time.

Sight Seeing

Internalize

In turn all eyes turn inward
and find only darkness,
what a clever disguise.

Discuss the quality of
the echo of your voice
off of your increasingly
empty ribcage with all
the other present tense
versions of yourself.

Internalize

In turn all eyes
make truth from lies,
like truth is currency,
what a pleasant surprise.

Discuss the quality of
your infinite experience
with your atoms as you drift,
wait for your echoes to bounce.
What have you found
in all that seeking?

Internalize

In turn all eyes go blind
or go blindly into the light
How bright could it be?

Allow for the possibility that
you may never speak to
youself again, in a sense,
turn inward and find yourself
in the glands that hold your
memories at the center of it all.

You are not the center,
you are the universe.

Shut your eyes now, human child
you won't need sight where we're headed.
