Picture of 1958 original nude - ©tuttysan, 2010
If you know me well you’ll know
I say what I think and write what I feel
that I never wear my favorite color
that I wear my smile and bury my wounds
that the water is not as shallow or as clear as it looks
and though I indulge in simple pleasures,
I’m not about simple things.
You will know i like people more than ideologies
and silence more than people
that I’d love to have five lives and live them all… simultaneously
that my ego is big and my heart is bigger
that I never forget and always forgive
that I left my soul high up on a mountain
and been looking for it every since
that i left my joy in a bus by Hato Viejo
gazing at grazing cows on a rolling hill
You will know where I want my ashes
and who doesn’t want me to burn
that there are things I like with foam
that my tongue is sharp and my skin thin
that I left my heart on an empty beach
posing for a picture in bikini
that when I close my eyes I see the Bay
from China Camp the Richmond Bridge
You will know I value friendships more than things
and nothing more than peace
that I try to find balance on a mat and rest in a cup of tea
that my cross’s so light it’s sometimes a burden
that I left my love bathing by the sea
close my eyes and see it every morning
