'Your Lonesome Caught Spark'

now look back and take a gander

at that blaze

bonfires of vanities

would be ever too envious

not that I'd care for only our love

in my heart is the rage

your wee morning blues

so tattered and abused

I take out now for a sunny afternoon

and stitch new seams to their sleeves

you are a walk up the side of Mount Everest

a rock slide in reverse

beauty in tender repose

sweet melancholy

threatening no one

just nudging the heart

towards what is important

depth

without fracture

kindness

without ridicule

peace cradled

in the arms of compromise

which means

you accepting this flawed yet

articulate woman

in the place of an  ideally perfect

dream love

that you have always longed for

cry me a river and

you can bathe in my ocean

until our days are

no more

of this earth................................
