I don’t know what to say
I have never felt this way before
I don’t know what to feel
like a mute, blind, deaf man
cast overboard at sea
I washed up on your shore
naked, hungry, wanting more
uncharted
.
I lay hazy on my back
gazing at the bright stars
thinking I should hide my scars
I don’t want to hide them anymore
I lay here naked needing something more
uncharted
.
this all feels so very new
like that first ride at the park on the corkscrew
dizzy laughing all around
children jumping falling down
.
together in the murky warm blanket of night
buried in my arms your body feels so right
I so want this to be real
even though I don’t know how to feel
uncharted
Uncharted (a poem)
