how fragile
the flesh is
constantly renewing itself
cell by cell
every day
until
one day
the process stops
the mortal coil
unsprung
dissolves slowly
back into
the rich waiting soil
that receives it
i am conscious
of my own fragility
as my mind
knits itself
slowly begins
the healing process
where once
there were two
and now
i am alone
i marvel at
the intricate machinery
of my own body
so delicate
this network of
tendons and muscles
and other fleshy matter
covering
the bones
that support
the whole
yes i go back
to the bones
of who i am
who i want to be
my whole self
unaffected
by the coming
and goings
of others
i am back here
alone
with my bones
as i contemplate
life
and the living of it
i live life every day
i choose life every day
knowing
the earth patiently
waits
to receive
my fragile self
one day.

fragile
fragile
the tenuous link
between you & i
the look in your eyes
reaches in
stirring things
long forgotten
in my heart
i try
not to grasp
too hard
the tenuous link
but marvel at it
wonder in my eyes
wonder in my heart
at you
and what you do
to me
the things you do
so romantic
in unexpected ways
the very many ways
you please me
enjoy pleasing me
surprising me
your eyes
the way you look at me
your heart
the way you speak to me
you move me
as i drift away
upon this unknown sea
it’s been so long
since i’ve travelled
fragile
how i feel inside
so easily loved
so easily touched
and yet
but yet
how i hold my breath
not wanting
to take this moment
for granted
fragile, i feel
as i lie here
in your arms.
