It’s you

I had a very surprising visit a few days ago. Lady Inspiration knocked on my door after many years of silence, serene like nothing ever happened. She smiled, looked me in the eyes and whispered: go on, let it flow! She didn’t even say “Hello”. Then she possessed every fiber of me unveiling the mystery of  my first poem in 9 years. Thought I’ll share it here…it’s called simply: It’s you!

It’s you!

It’s you that I’m bleeding from the wounds of my soul; it’s you that I’m breathing without sense of control; it’s you that I’m dreaming with my eyes opened wide, it’s you that I picture when I close them at night; it’s you that I fear will tear down my whole world; it’s you that I’m drawn to like a ship in a swirl.

It’s you that I sip with insatiable thirst, it’s you that I keep as my last thought and first. It’s you that I taste in a sweet-bitter bite, it’s you that I find when I’m searching inside.

It’s you that I steal from, the hope of one spark; it’s you that I light to scatter my dark; it’s you that I imprison in the dungeon of me, it’s you that I chain and throw down the key.

It’s you that I enjoy when enduring this pain, it’s you that I engrave in my heart with my brain. It’s you that I lust for in unearthly bliss, it’s you that I dive into for the spell of ONE KISS.

It’s you that I see wherever I look, it’s you that I read when I open a book, it’s you that I hear when I listen a song, it’s you that I know you’re the righteous wrong, it’s you that I feel in all moments of doubt, it’s you that I write this poem about.

It’s you that I say yes to; it’s you that says no. It’s you that I have…in the end…to let go.
