"Impetus"

by Jeph Johnson

 

I struggle to express
these things inside
because it all feels
so comfortable

see, sometimes I need distress
for my creativity to rise above
the mundane and predictable

so recently when we've embarked
on little rants and skirmishes
it's not so bad
for they get my thoughts to scatter

where even smart remarks
and over-logical observances
that might have made you mad,
now don't seem to matter

our love now seems complete
as I feel in my soul
more fulfillment and trust
than I could ever fathom

for what once
was felt as incomplete
is now flourishing
with my lusts...
proving I still have them
