PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the mind

so very much like a ninja

infringes

without warning

upon the intangible wants

in my far too tender heart

vying for the rights to a love

that simply longs to soar free

and nest itself nearest your own

I am crawling to you

when I would much rather be running

quite breathless and without pause

into the open feel of your warm, welcome

embrace

you too seem to sense these same undercurrents

that I , myself try to control

but for just what reason

I, in vain attempt to do so

I simply can not say

my ageless muse

so very much in love now

best speaks for me here

as to me you feel that near

you sense such an unstoppable force

so unpolluted and graceful in its impact

and yet it never violently shakes your

startled spirit's cage

and makes such light work of its bars

each course has been plotted

both ships have set sail

now, each seasoned captain must brave

these troubling but beautiful waters

ahead

as a brilliantly new always challenging

and unbelievably sweet world awaits

yet can not be fully discovered

if the two seekers involved

do not risk either their heart's souls

to the other

so to fully seek

God knows this

now............

so should we?..........
