ebb_and_flow
Moirai Continually aching changes character.
There is a normal ebb and flow.

Sometimes there is just the right amount
of love, closeness, and time with you
and then there is not enough.

There’s a constant ebb and flow.

Sometimes there is just the right amount
of apathy, distance, and space from you
and then there is not enough.

Emotional storms distract
from spacious calm
as your memory washes over.

We steal glances from one another
but perhaps I see what I want to see.
When there’s a constant ebb and flow.

A certain look flickers across face.
Do my instincts tell me the truth?
Smiles that lingered as they pull back.

There was a time when you wanted me.
I saw it in your eyes, felt it in your touch
and I wanted you even though I shouldn’t.
Cover it up, push through, and be strong.

Push and pullpull and push - Push and pull.
I’m desperately trying to keep pace with you.
A whisper, a glance, physical contact.
I’m desperately trying to understand my role.
Push and pullpull and push - Push and pull.

There’s a constant ebb and flow
of feelings.
You love me, you don’t.
You want to kiss me, you don’t.
You want to be with me, you don’t.
And then when it’s gone
such a cold and distant wave you’ve become.

But I do not fear those "bad" feelings.
I do not feel the pressing need
to transmute them into something more comfortable.
For society, for friends, and those that judge.

I will not talk myself out of what I feel
just because you fail to understand.
It’s importance I will never diminish.

I am not ashamed of this so called "weakness".

Oh, but my flaw has escaped.
Quick hide
for the instant that others sense it
opinions begin to arise.
Repress, deny, or transmute it.
But this is who I am.
Do not fight, resist, try to explain it away.
This is how I feel.
No matter what they may be
my emotions are acceptable.

As long as I have breath in body
and have life in my being
emotions shall come as a natural part.

This is my natural ebb and flow.

all because
you changed
your mind
all because
you changed
your heart

But affection is not the enemy.
A quandary to destroy before it destroys.

For in an endless stream of never-ending waves
there’s a constant ebb and flow.

mahayana there's a monotonous
ebb and flow
on the artery

down: bête noire{self} - {life}anathema
up: clemency - irrefutable enthusiasm
riding after-effects

navigating rogue waves
of delirious traffic
in the conception
of inner harmony

up: acceptance - concurrence
down: {self}dejection - withdrawal{life}
riding chain reactions

paddling through
accident reports
and
other conveyances

down: cessation{self} - {life}felo de se
up: be in clover - in the cards
riding waves

strong current
runs counter
to the primary direction
of travel

inner peace
outer action

dynamic state of contentment
up and down down and up
in the course of time
i will come to a full stop
in the ever changing flow of traffic
