Autumn is here,
winter is on its way
some love stays
some fades away
I will wait to bloom again
with my heart on my sleeve
or my throat, thighs or feet
whether you choose to leave
or stay— my love will emanate
in all seasons just the same
come as you are,
be it in october or may
beneath it all my love is just the same
if you only see what you are shown
you may not perceive anything that way
if your heart is frozen and your soul afraid
your vision is cloudy, you are dazed
if you are lost, it’s not about finding your way
it’s about stopping to ask directions
from someone next to you
who knows that landscape
it takes courage to love and be loved
in your most vulnerable state
