SOUL LAUNDRY - Joy Chime
(worthy of mention)
1.
Sometimes I forget you exist,
And when I re-call you with the suddenness of thunder out rain-swollen
clouds,
I want to drink all of you in one big gulp, then retreat into myself like a
collapsed tent so I can
Envelope you fully,
Digest you slowly,
Absorb you completely...
Till I see you in the mirror.
2.
So let the rain
Wash my soul
With its persistent water-song
Wash my soul
So I can be born again for you
Wash my soul
So I can be first touched,
Only touched by you
Wash my soul
So I can be whole again with you
Wash my soul
So my first kiss would be with you
Wash my soul
So that when you pull my shirt to the side to kiss my bare shoulder,
It would be a first
Wash my soul
So you can imprint all over me with each kiss to my forehead,
Each long bear hug when I don't even like you,
Each caress of the small of my back so I shiver like I’m cold,
Each tickle when you're feeling naughty just so you can watch my eyes light
up in my outrage,
