Alchemy

 

I’ve been a bit busy getting old,

but that hasn't dulled my words

or soiled the need to share my soul,

for in these words, I find lead

and transform it into gold.

And I want it to pave your streets

through a world

that can sometimes feel so cold.

I’m not a magician or a word alchemist

I’m just a soul that has lived and kissed,

felt the bliss of what it truly means to exist.

And it is this that I want to grant

Like a genie from a lamp

with just one wish to plant in your heart

like a flower, petals shaped

in tender embrace around your soul.

 

I want to gift my touch.

Not with fingers or hands,

but with breathless words

that fly across lands.

I want them to sift through

your thoughts like sand

through a sieve

I want them to shower you with love,

so that you have even more to give.

 

I want to embrace you,

but not with my arms held wide.

I want to be the whole countryside

that you dance through in your mind,

I want to explore your world

to feel ever grain of truth,

I want to taste your words

as they leap from you.

I want the remnants of your pain

to become my pain too,

so that I can truly know you.

 

I’m not here for skin on skin,

I’m here to sink into your brain

and connect with your feelings,

I want to understand everything,

so that when I do speak

it is only to gift you belief

in you and who you truly are within.

Not just the beauty you wear

but the beauty you are

like the light from a distant star.
