You picked a memory
from the tree - i had
to warn you     you know
from eating the rotten parts -
offered to cut them out first
but you said "I won't die from it" -
smiled and swallowed.

You picked a day
from the tree - I had
to warn you     you know
from eating those words
thrown in anger,
offered to censor the sour
parts first but you said
"i'll survive," smiled and swallowed.

You picked a dream
from the tree - i had
to warn you     you know
from eating the fear
that festered on the side -
offered to remove it for your peace,
but you said "I'll take the whole
package thanks," smiled and swallowed.

You picked me
from the tree - i had
to warn you     you know
from eating the bitter core -
offered instead myself
a skin delicately coiled
but you said "But I want all of you."

I am chewed, consumed, churned, never
expelled.

Very nice, isn't unconditional love wonderful? Very well stated. Thanks for the read.

Very unique in the way you approached this. I liked this very much!

Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.

That was pretty interesting...wasn't sure where it was going but liked where it ended up!
