Instinctive
a cool breeze
caressing my skin
and then
she plummets into her own mind
deep
deep.. within
digging up old demons
devils who tried to denounce her destiny
friends she took in
as daughters
she demonstrated her dainty and her delicate ways
she has her ways
ways that are no longer destroying her
this dandelion is free
but.. this cool breeze
she made sure she kept some distance from her mind
something new caressing her skin
her dare-devil, melanin mixed with magic skin
skin cut and bruised with fake smiles pinned some where near her jaw line
skin
mysterious and intriguing and glittery skin
but.. this cool breeze
a breeze that penetrates everything beautiful
a free fall of the mind
her safe landing (for my sake)
all instinctive..
