I penned a new word to represent the intertwined nature of love.
What I said was
don’t touch
go away
leave me be
while inside
I cried out
draw near
stay with me
you are light
you are pure
you are joy
you are free
I am not
I am dark
I am beast
but now I see
like day
needs the night
like shore
defines the sea
like light
needs darkness
there’s only cold
if there’s heat
requires two
different notes
blended for
pure harmony
we can never
be divided
that is a
fool’s fallacy
like the yin
and the yang
of a wise
philosophy
we exist
only together
I’m in you
you’re in me

This has nothing to do with the poem, but if you want to spend an incredible 90 minutes with Joni — I cordially invite you to do so.
