Consumers and Tasters

knowing you
i know myself
as i get to know you
i get to know myself
that is the only true
process that is possible

without you 
i can not start to discover
but that discovery
is not you but me
it has to be that way

likewise my dear one
if the alignment be mutual
you too will discover
not me but you

this is the nature of relationships
this is how we are to be 
seen, heard, touch and fragranced
but if i consume you
and you consume i
then indeed we are just consumers and tasters

From My Thorn To My Rose

i know you
from my nemesis
to my soul
from my birth 
to my death
from my hell
to my heaven
from my lord
to my demon
from my nothing
to my everything
i didn't want to have
this choice of choices
who gets life and death
who gets hell and heaven
who forgets and remembers

why do i know you
like this
from my thorn to my rose
