Catch These Feelings

Lately, I’ve been

loving me exclusively

I mean I’ve been lovely

to my mind, body, and soul.

I’ve been walking by mirrors,

giving myself goo-goo eyes

and goosebumps while

blowing forehead kisses.

Falling head over heels

for my own heels;

Adoring my sophistication,

wisdom, intelligence,

natural beauty, witty,

humorous, and free spirit self.

I mean I’ve been really

close to these feelings.

We’ve been holding

on securely

with being secure

for a long time now.

I mean real close

and personal.

All in my feelings

as I catch these feelings.

Aware of my do’s and don’ts,
My yes’s and no’s.

Feeling quite holy

and wholesome more;

Less fragmented;

Less dissatisfied;

No broken vows

or promises;

No lies on top of lies;

No alibis;

No disputable

commitments

to face.

No confusions.

No maybes or what ifs;

No validations;

No waiting;

No casual dealings;

No situation-ships;

Nothing phony about it;

Nothing fake either;

Just a serious truce

between my fears

and my faith as

my heart listens

and vibe to a higher

frequency of my

spiritual and physical

intimacy with

sweet love as priority;

Fully full

off self-inspiration,

confirmation and devotion

until I encounter 

another lover

strong enough to 

share these mutual feelings.

Ricochet

I

never wanted

you to be wrapped

around my finger.

Your

heart wasn’t

stable or vital

enough.

In

your favor,

the polygamy

of its lifeline

had no vacancy

for monogamy.

There,

I let the idea

of your heart go

without taking

liability for

the ricochet.
