Nourishment [poem]

A Poem about two souls.

Red sky’s and blue hearts,
a perfect combination.

As swell as it may be,
it’s paradoxical fiction.

A contradictory space,
like that of Saturn’s ring.

Black Holes of mistrust,
Yet hope for our sins.

Those ordinary actions,
speak blunt in disguise.

Poised with satisfaction,
let it alchemize.

Galaxies and atoms,
Spur neurons to our brains

A pulse of a million waves,
through the vessels of our veins.

Before we go in-depth,
I mean a little too deep.

I want you to pause a minute longer
and tell me, exactly what you see.

Hold on to your precious time,
but don’t forget to breathe.

Take one step back,
to take a few things in.

The touch of your hands,
an instant warmth from within.

Like dew on forbidden lands,
that’s nourish for our skin.
