stalker of my mind
gentle questioneer
so aggitatedly concerned
who's thoughts are not always
so abundantly clear
render me forgiven and understood
as from this petty conflict
we both could learn
my joy shutters
only to then settle upon
the lifting mist
of all that again could be
between us so good
such gladness
takes refuge
in your calmed though hesitant
re-entrance into my life
you return to me
what I surely thought
to be
forever lost
(your good opinion)
these gentle bonds
I weaved together
with the aid of your own
willingness to know me
better
there was to be no winter
at all
rather just the hint
of what could have been
a pending frost
but luckily
the rays of even our
divided sunlight
staved off such sad
and so unnecessary
mental devastation
and we were able to regroup
Happier and stronger
for realizing
what such silly pettiness
on both our parts
could have cost
the simple but priceless joy
of our getting to better
know each other
with pride set aside
God, surely must have smiled broadly
at our burgeoning
Closeness Restored.....
