Your affection is the dream

Your affection is the dream

That I never want to end

Reciprocity used to live in the clouds

Untouchable

Like a dragon protected by the Gods

But here you are in front of me,

Your heartbeat fills the silence

As I fight to control the fire

Spreading rapidly in my abdomen

I wasn't drawn to the competition

Or the feeling of claiming someone

Yet I desired to become yours

And I wanted you to become mine

In ways that solidify my imagination

A mutual responsibility

As two souls forming their own universe

I found the stream of gold that burns

The reservoir breaks open

Revealing a stream of gold that burns

I surrendered to the collapse

I surrendered to the safety net that I found myself clinging to afraid to see what lives under the depths of the ocean

I thought that I was stepping into the spotlight

With every aspect of my soul

Glowing like thousands of lightning bugs in the night

But I let the ego pull me along

Limiting myself to the space

Where the chains could reach

Not knowing about the flickering flame

Carrying the desire of liberation

It's supposed to be messy,

Because it's deeply rooted inside me

Like a plant that never budges

Even when a drought comes

I thought being in the fog was safe

But I couldn't see the burning flame

That quietly whispered to me

Your darkness is the medicine
