Lingering Taste

Arrival

Black mountains lie between now and to be 

A valley, thriving, bright in its diversity, courses a path.

Our hands wisp over sunflowers and lilac, legs are tickled by grasshoppers.

haven't simmered long enough, experience settles the stew.

Blessed be the youth, for they know no better.

Walk your words teacher,

cause pupil now knows --

that you know better.

Yet, as a free mind understands

Unrealistic

Oft-sought after

Faith in unknowing, unattainable,

perfect LOVE,

Which We are born with,

Stripped of by men,

Searching for through out an invisible realm of meaning.

It is not to understand perfect love but to fall in love with our true selves,

Lingering Taste

Wretched, filthy taste

that WILL NOT be suppressed,

nor alleviated.

Stagnant stench,

lingers on my tongue,

rinse with truth,

and repeat with understanding.
