Golden retriever energy
Golden retriever energy
from a human marshmallow
Squidgy, and layers of softness
So sickly, it’s yellow
Push me and shape me
Gelatine-free
and never fully set
I long for warmth and comfort
Never opaque
Vulnerable, in my mellow
My eyes, a book to be read
Transparent, in my lack of mystery
Terrified by streams of novels
On each day’s invisible stage
If they could see my elements
As I transmit, and they’d point out,
my pain
Nobody’s epic saga, though, is inflicted
on those, incapable of celebrated absorption
Scared of those who, once, raged
You, never meant for those who wouldn’t care for your story
Investing in self-love and true gentleness
No meaningless turnings, and takings,
Grabbing and gripping to ‘their’ belonging
an, uncredited, next page
Not transparent, but translucent
Your dawn comes in wonder
Pillow soft, with tears, in heavy
You dazzle of curious acceptance
Sadness and joy met with divine
in their eyes
‘I want to know you’
Spillages, shipwrecks and mallow pieces
never kicked and spit out
Connection, that wants to see you thrive
Because, the real, and beautiful,
want every stage
In it, for the full picture
Not for your booster, bolstering up, to cushion unreceptive hearts
A you, jellied, into desirable concoctions
that split - and fall apart
In meeting souls
that only want you, to be, you
and when light breaks and
you rise in wonder
It’s cherished by those,
who never doubted
You enter game changing, unapologetic
Cushioned by your insides
and those that always knew
