All I know is Now


My desire is cold,
calculated fantasies,
restrained spontaneity,
grounded freedom.
---------
My heart is open,
unbiased,
shared freely
with all who need it.
---------
My body is guarded,
in conscious isolation,
aware of the dangers
of openness.
---------
My soul is free,
wondering through your dreams,
pleasing your desires,
open to your fantasies,
---------
roaming in your body,
waking your hidden longings,
inciting emotion,
freeing your feelings.
----------
All I know is now...
----------
if my soul should rise and fall
I'll never know,
if I should succeed or fail in my attempts
I'll never know,
----------
I cannot tell the difference
between winning and losing,
between high and low,
Between success and failure.
----------
For I live in the clouds,
I thrive in the now,
I live for today,
I give it away,
----------
I spend it all now,
no feelings get saved,
no frustration remains,
I give it away,
----------
I express my desires,
I pray for nourishment,
I take what I need,
I sustain my hunger,
----------
For soul food,
For love,
For wisdom,
For purpose.
----------
Why be one idea
when we can be two worlds
in one universe?
-----------
Why accept and conform
When we can inspire growth
Through doubt and difference?
----------
Your opposing qualities
draw me closer,
to grow from your flaws,
to learn from your vices,
----------
to become stronger
in the light of your qualities,
To love you for love,
To accept you for you.
----------
To rise or to fall,
to love or to fight,
to break or to marry,
these ideas don't concern me.
----------
All I know is now...
