talking to you
leaves me open
- its more than i can bear.
its easier when i look away
with my eyes
and with my soul
and with every me
in between.
we have found a place
- our impasse -
we cohabit with warm detachment
this frigid air is comfort
you remind me daily
that time is precious
and life is short
i put my books away
and step on stage
but how do i show you
my resolve
to seize each moment
to waste no single day
to put a new smile
on your face
every chance
that life presents me
this is not
a new cycle
every moment is new
every emotion is a seed
nurtured by affection
realisation
held tightly
by my resolution
to never let this die
open is pleasant
open is pain
open is feeling
feeling is a rainbow cocktail
open is a high
and a low
open is feeling
feeling is a game of dice
open is a rollercoaster
open is often
more than i can bear
open is the sacrifice
i am making
open is the penance
i am paying
to you

Your writing is so profoundly raw in its intent. Ii draws me in and makes me believe i am your intended.
Pray tell, are you in love? i ask because i believe i am falling in love with a stranger just because his writing appeals to me. I feel as though i know you even though i don't :)
but i want to - know you that is :)
Wow anon is hooked!! talented talented, loved this poetry, but you know lawunmi, I've always thought you were always open, not inaccessible.
