August 9

Wearing hearts on sleeves
increases out total fears
but summons wonders
to take place without a whim
and may all things re-surface.


Rejected at first
and then we could not stomach
what seems to amaze
us as practices emerge
and new-found knowledge is gained.


We cradle the seeds
to nourish all that's been sought for
and through all the times
we find strength in each other
that lifts us amidst all strife.


The look in one's eyes
brings out the laughter unheard
and further senses
all that glows within our souls
and challenges even so.


We commit to battle
what serves us the least purpose
but they still manage
to provide discoveries
even when all have been found.


Closer to our jewels
is how we treat these moments
with head over feet
and hands in pockets so deep
that thoughts induce surrenders.


And then the days pass
while the objects remain still,
our affections change
and merge into much unknown
'til our horizons complete.


South beyond our specs
are things that pend our visions
and contain our lust
for lovers are illusions
and what remains true is love.


Black crows clawing tight
and scheming their ways up top,
dampening others
and dispensing our tears
as the goodness sweeps away.


Tenderly collide
expired fragments so light
as they wrestle now
and forfeit what clammers sight
into a tunnel mirage.
