Touch Therapy - 2
Was Love wrong about you
when you laid your heart down upon
the steaming ice of shocked innocence,
soaking the violet chakra
of your inner child's consciousness
in the freezing puddles of premature pain
wishing there were a wild way
to punish God for the disgrace of ignorance
that hope and heartache hurry you into,
were the Angels wrong
about the alms of your amazing eyes,
are the roses of youth wrong
about the velvet of your plush pulses,
were teachers wrong about the arithmatic
of your inspired intellect
blooming slow amid the din
of devilish danger,
is your favorite song
a beautiful sabotage of suffering,
wrong about the joy
that your prodigous confidence promised,
maybe you were wrong about being wrong...
