Blind

A shortcut to navigate a soul
I touch your smile with my lips
I crawl the mouth slowly
upper and lower
back and forth  
Edge to edge
I Read the messages like braille
Between the parentheses
of your cheeks
that frames your mouth
For the blind like me to comprehend
I never badly needed someone
as I do you, to help me feel.

-----

lost between grids
I confess to all that I’ve done
Wandering around here
Carrying scary thoughts
I’m never the same
It was not in the plan

-----

I head back to square one
Needing guidance
on this stretched distance
To navigate you
To save hallucinating thought  
For my eyes to see
how you make me feel
touching your warm smile
with cold fingertips.
