Love Poem: I Shoo Away the Blues

I Shoo Away the Blues

i change like the bacteria under my fingernails
daily

once i'm under the skin
i begin again

why?

it's because you 
metamorphose in every second

the shift in your eyes 
makes me realize
i know nothing
and enough

all

at the same time  ...

so,

i shoo away these bleus
that blew upon me like  
distinctly wrong winds

so that
the all
and
the suddenly
  
all of it all

sparked my mind
to life
again

and now my eyes
work

my jaw started stretching
and now

my mouth
is filled with
new words

for you
