Perhaps



No worries, philosophy free of drama.
We aim, we strive, we hope and crave,
We revolve and rotate. Aching.
We need to spend time together,
It’s a given no one else truly sees.
We want and you promise—
Promises being the only thing that guarantees I’ll wait.

A lion, strong and tall you stand
Dark mane to your shoulders,
Eyes. Eyes that upon the occasion have looked at me
And seen through. With you, I am not bulletproof.
I’m not the cocky madam who’s witty and sly,
Knocking men down like surprised flies
Who allow me a comfort palace,
They smile and want to please—
No, with you, I am most quiet.
I am demure yet open.

With others, almost nothing but one act
Can shut my mind silent.
Everything else is loud and in my head, broken.
They see the fun, they see the wild,
They entertain the girl with her hair let down.
You nourish the heart.
You twine like two knotted pinkies around my soul.
I always come back,
Invisible ties calling me home.

For you I would run
For you I would give up
I’d change the drama,
Embrace with open arms, opportunity—
The kind both of us have always dreamed.
Two peas whose love story
Has been hard, always.
Whose feelings, hidden,
Come easy.
Lost souls where one is often giving birth to faith
In the other. Now we are both teetering,
Perhaps it’s time? Take hands—
Hold tight, grab on to happiness with fight,
We’ll take flight.

We need to be in this together,
Not fall back on being lone rangers.
No worries, problems will be taken on,
Saddle the burdens as one,
White light surround us.
What do you say? Carry on, make this present turn to future—
And be ours?
