STROKE ME!

Stroke me in my mind today,

Take away the chatter that

Cannot switch off,

Collapse my mind into that

Sensitive space

Where the image of you resides

Giving food to this heart

The love that burns without a stop.

As I walk the street today and

become saturated in the glare

Of the present,

Reflections, expectations and

Influences of all kinds

Filter into my head like tiny

Friendly characters,

Teasing all thoughts, leaving

Behind emotions of confusion

Fear and discontent.

So come;

I ask you,

Stroke me in my mind today

Take away the chatter that

Cannot switch off,

Collapse my mind into that

Sensitive place,

Where the image of you resides

Giving food to this heart as love

Burns without a stop.
