Farewell To Sanity
Choice, An Illusion Of The Lonely
It began with a smile,
with little attention to the connection -
it somehow made it worthwhile.
A skip in my step - just a glance - set a feeling in motion-
a moment fleeting - no withdrawals or exchanges.
A simple, slight brush of flesh in passing -
no longing or expectations,
such a tender expression-
in a new direction.
No fear of rejection, just reflection
as I watch myself dive in.
Deep into a notion,
a magical potion.
Covers me like a lotion,
thoroughly, in repetition.
Sets me free-
no competition.
A tingle trickles,
a direct line down my back,
I'm not looking back.
Bags are packed-
It's not adventure I lack.
Just patience.
