A Container For Something
I don't hate myself.
It's just easier than loving you,
beautiful mystery.

My skin longs caress
with the simplest sweetness like
everlasting candy.

I can't savor love;
not easily defined, fleeting temptress
I see undress.

I don't hate you,
in silence contemplating turbulence
by this open sea.

I don't hate,
sparkling, a container full of redeeming wine;
a dusty bottle

I don't hate myself.
Temperate in the dark, stowed on shelf,
waiting discovery.

Sorry, if I'm not looking for you.
