i like your brain

i love when unexpected meetings happen
when life throws you a curve ball
and you have to dig deep, with your strongest shovel 
into the stubborn roots of your soul

to flip that frown upside down
and open your heart, warding off 
soldier after soldier that showed up
fully armed

i have never been more fluent 
in the dancing that unfolds in that space 
in the gap between connect and disconnect

this is not to say that it has become my first language
as it is far from that
and only when i can actually catch myself
flowing it it's dance
can i tell you what i've been told 

in the space that is created when humans 
come together in a space where
one like mind can become nsync with the other

through the electrical currents of brain waves, 
glittering lights, flashing up and down 
a mysterious corridor

where the words 'i like your brain' can be 
uttered into the grey area of a connection
where masks, and armor are truly a sell out
where the heart stamps itself on sleeves 
abiding in vulnerability

it's in this gap where the soul soars high
healing itself through understanding 
sans expections of any return on investment

where "i understand you" is enough 
to bring you to your knees
perhaps forever

it's in this space 
where i have learnt a new language
that i can truly say "i like your brain"
dare me to further say, 
we are riding one single wave
