Soul and Body

the soul
rose above
the lust of the body

the fingertips
learned braille
breathless yet shy
curves craving for
a study 

the soul
is neither
masculine nor feminine

they all
love the spiritual violin

the mind
eyed them both
with a grin
never underestimate
the powers of
a good spin 

you need logic 
you need magic

the self
hissed I don't belong
to the patience shelf

the conscious
shrugged shoulders
blamed the subconscious

peace by fusion 
a momentary confusion
tasting eternal
feeling infernal 

if it's explicit
it's gotta be parental

a gig of voices
clouding the temple

walked away
the lonely heart 
i was nothing but a chew
right from the start
