I Am Open
I am open
not transparent
vulnerable to the wind
caught in an exchange
of dialogues of thought
and loneliness of heart.
I am frail
not hollow
sensitive to the noise
dazzled by misunderstandings
of songs longing to be understood
a language of alien satisfaction.
I am torn
not broken
desire for a longing
but crushed by surreality
of what could be but wasn’t
in life's constant brutality.
I am open
when love calls
caught ablaze without dispute
irrational senseless devotion
rhetorical prosaic hum
a divine instinctive notion.
