questions

questions,
let them in!
let them into your skin,
let them tingle
every pore,
let them jingle
your nerves,
let them sand your eyes
until they tear,
let them shake up
the ground
where you choose to stand
pretty,
let them dig into you
like splinters
you can feel but not see,
let them rev you up
like that engine
itching to smoke,
let them rest on you
like fragile dragonflies
waiting for the wind
to take their wings,
let them lead you
like the sweet fragrance
of a wildflower
somewhere forgotten,
let them pull you
like that tug on a kite string,
to taste the blue skies,
let them lift you
like dark clouds gathering
around unborn stars,
let them stab you
at your core,
breaking you open
to yourself,
and the pain and joy
wrapped inside your name,
let them smolder
like embers spent
after a raging fire,
and then,
let them linger like a lover
in your dreams,
taking you to places
you'd never dare to go
alone.
