The silhouette of your filthy past
It cloaks your reputation as the stars cloak an evening sky
Tales of where and who you’ve been overwhelm
Their conveyors no cleaner than you

Daughter, Son,

The world has an insistence that you should be good at something
That yours should be a path to the known and quantifiable.

The Best Poem Of Tanaka CXX

The Purity Of Imperfection

The silhouette of your filthy past
It cloaks your reputation as the stars cloak an evening sky
Tales of where and who you’ve been overwhelm
Their conveyors no cleaner than you
but still they preach!

Of how you lost it,
countless times I've been told
His name has reached my ears
Polluting the ambiance of the most serene quarters of my mind
Shattering my confidence
Un-patching and staining the very fabric of my faith and trust in you
A faith tailored by your enduring fondness and care
A trust nurtured by the tenderness of your disarming touch
And your drug-like aura
to which I remain eternally subscribed!

But from the embers of ruin,
I emerged,
evermore loving
and yearning for your joyous companionship
For my imperfections were just as glaring
Perhaps even more

Their names have reached your ears.

In my company,
A few have cursed your sight.
Oh the shame!
Of polishing pebbles when in you I always had a gem
How you toiled
As I caressed mules when you knew that I knew that deep inside me I knew but didn't believe
That with a few strokes you could have been my stallion
Should have cared earlier
Would if I were wiser
Youth had me in a daze.

Time has cleansed me tho'
My commitment to you now is pure
I drag the baggage of my past not much unlike a snail hauls it's shell
But I cower not inside it for comfort
Your radiance gives me my warmth
And you are pure in its delivery.
You are sincere in the presentation of your contempt
FIERCE in the company of bed sheets
Naughty in the absence of prying eyes

And as my eyes pierce through your freckles
I see!
