I'm grateful for boundaries
walking the tightrope
of satisfaction & wanting more
mastery & frustration
dynamic demarcations
of yes's and no's
a perennial perhaps
curious tongue
savouring umami of unknowns
bittersweet defeats
salty surrender
souring sympathies
spicy speculations
to feel what's alive in the other
gracious respect with their no's
thankfully taking what is given
in fullness of desire
the taker devours for their pleasure
the taken delights in equal measure
utmost joy
to penetrate
be penetrated
seen like never before
a becoming as one walks the line
proleptic reasoning
an earnest enquiry
amidst paucity of light
feeling muddling through
the one who wants
changes the wants one wants
as one gropes in the darkness
of having that which vaguely
draws out one's self
beyond one's shrinking skin
to emerge different
symbol emulated by its referent
boisterous bowers built
to please her satin passerine
yearning to be chosen
be Iet in through her barricades
allowed to lift the Empress's brocade
the greatest reward
for freedom to fail
repeatedly time after time
wrestled down by that which
is always greater
one becomes stronger
better wiser
to move through the immovable
beyond logic
boundaries bend to the beholden.
