My body is a wonderland (In John Mayer style)
No no body else sang me this song
Nobody else lived long enough to experience that magic
But I loved deep enough and
Long enough to find my way through...
Through every bone of me
Where the cracks were
Quaking their bodies
Across the expanse of me ....
Morning come
My eyes rise
and they emerge
slowly upwards
from the cracks
light . Light. Light
Through every vein of me
where the dirt hills
of all the rotten old memories
lay themselves in the way
of my cold cold blood
Kept flowing
Kept dancing to the tides
of the lunacy in me.
Through the vagina in me
which was the blessed temple
where the goddess resided
who birthed creatures
that turned her into
a figure of stone
Tongue sticking out
and angry eyes,
and the creatures
fucked her in the
name of love
worshipped her
in the name of God.
Through the breasts in me
these mountains and valleys
of a love so unconditional
she feeds her children
And lovers alike
with the same passion
erupting out in opposing forms.
Through the unseen eye in me
that number three
that exists so silently
the other two forget
to look what dwells between them.
That beautiful eye
that lets me see you,
Yes, you!
every crying voice
such as this poem
Deep inside of you
that I wish I could
discover just like this
and yank out
So you discover
the wonderland
that you are.
