A Poem About the Single-Taken Equilibrium

If I gave away it all

At once

The palm holding with a tight grasp

The world and nothing but physicality

A beating heart, my livelihood, my passions

My time

About my fist the size of,

They could either drop her or hold her forever

Pa(ra) siempre is a long time

Too long a time to bring warmth and hugs, smiles

Brightening excitement

The rush of first glance, oh my

Gosh I think they’re looking at me

Flutters

The sweet empty comments in a connection that lasts in streaks

Days or weeks only a few

To someone else or others in facts

Shackles of beings perhaps

The warmth pulls my attention

Flutters away as it came

My desperations not as strong anymore

In waves it comes, sneaking

Up on me on usually the coldest gloomiest of days

Or when the cramps

Pinches and body aches

Learning yearning wishing

I had held onto you for just a bit

Longer

But tomorrow

Free I’m,

Spitting verse, dressing like a young girl in a closet of her dreams

Statement making, laughing, grinning, loving

Everything I’m left with

I am full

Yet the thirst can’t be quenched forever
