gullible

gullible

i let Love be

let arrows come

and hit

softness

and fall

limply

to the ground

gullible

open to all mouths

thoughts

ways

as harmless

as joyful

as possible

as helpful

the fool

not knowing anything at all

i open

to see

what is

without understanding

without background

without study

without a future

without reason

and profit

and kickback

and ego boosting

morale

without image monitoring

am i free

light

as a feather

manueverable

ever toward

happiness

though all sense

would teach it is folly

this heavy scroll

is tossed to the wind

ancient commandments

sink slowly

to the bottom of the sea

the ink

dissolving

transparently clouding the water briefly

before clarity returns again

and all evidence

of past prison bars

is vacant

where once the heavy iron

strangled

my lightheartedness

gull ible

free

to fly

home

to myself

and you

and

joy

innocence

prances

again

in mind

and on earth...
