sweet daring forever internal enigma

with your brave sad heart held ever so wide

come share with me

your beloved co conspirator

the great secret that traces fear to your

swift enveloping tide

as pride's near perfect pendulum swings

ever as always high

oh so very high

the gales of guilt often begrudge happiness

the sweetness for which it sings

as only one man can know the full extent of

his own life's most guarded lie

oh, so tenderly misguided, breathless

retreating amour

a falsehood of staggering height lingers

on up ahead

where age old deeds need never to be repeated

in thought nor deed

for never too often only further the buoyant

spirit of no more

and in the horrified heart there wages yet

another seemingly unwinnable war

clear cut truth in exchange for possible

rejection to the faith of the wind

while listening for the mute strain of logic

specified in my previous mention

and sleep none too peacefully so once again

in your much too forbidding rambler's abode

haunted as you are from absorbing the

initial shock from settling into your very

own core

a white blustery flustered, pinched willow

sways in the backyard of your ill chattering

morrow's forseeable landscape

trading it all in just to get a step up

but tell me was it and is it still worth

such volatile emotional rape

some would perhaps murmur yes

but not you , I would guess

no, you would scream it

but only to the most deaf of all listeners
