Perfect Life Equation

Merging into midnight
in the half-glow 
of candle-light
these warm, whispering shadow-selves
of the two people 
or more
I am
when I allow myself to be
in infinite immensity

When I stop replying 
diplomatically
coz the splinters in my soul
just can't take it anymore 
y' know
the stuff the world will dish out
given half a chance 
or less:

Dollops of doubt
cold bowls of scowls
surface smiles
and canned, ready-serve praise
from recycled yesterdays
and the recommended daily dose?
"Take it all
with a pinch o' salt."

But then I run
from friendly walls
I made myself
surrounded with - 

to seek the hand 
of an old friend:
to simply hold
and not to keep
and know the worth
of acquaintances deep

de-tag the roles
in relationship games,
re-build the world
in re-usable clay...
 
 
soft and warm and oh so sweet:
it would be to live and learn, 
weep and trip,
make mistakes and not be whipped
emotionally,
physically 
spiritually
for we could then 
forever have
the power of a wondrous 
re-moldable life-script.

If simply thinking 
of such a thing
could pure serenity bring,
then what cause have I 
to give a thought
to paths not walked,
gifts not given
weight not lost
and love not taken


For all their worth
is well-contained
in this one moment 
of caramelizing milk!


Just top it off with fresh strawberries sliced head to toe
a lump of shugah - and life's purr-fect once more!









Way To Go, Babeh!!
