BY THE GAGE OF COMPARISON

Folder: 
JOURNAL #20

my weakness versus your strength

your fire versus say my desire

the mutual interest of the moment

versus the apathy of the time

our explosive reaction to each other

seems to so beautifully intertwine

you often revel in

that of which I rather choose to rebel

your lips and your mind

are sassy sires to the highly covetous

sexual sell

my generous give compliments your ravenous

take

where as

what I have come to revere

you only care to forsake

we are two highly developed but contrary

puzzle pieces unknowingly cut

somewhere along the way

so to better flow together

a miraculous misery once lived

has now become a brilliantly satisfying

collaboration

flourishing on a level

that few others could ever dream of achieving

we have alas arrived

at that gloriously golden plateau

where far too few true friends ever get the

expressed joy of reaching

and we've done it together

the essence of you has caressed my soul as

no other

come now

join me in this pinnacle moment of Zen

and let us even further grow

towards who knows where

until who knows when

'By The Gage Of Comparison'

the future for us shall decide............

I've no earthly idea who this is about. Some mythical lover likely.
