once over the ice wall
I'll hold my mind
alas alone
truly alone
as my sole own
no interceder
just me and this pen
no more
a captive wife
hostage to a breathing
chamber of silence
my road is loving
my path eying the widening
to come
moral obligation
cringes in sin
a lover held at bay
to disguise the so wanted intrusion
so a friend's face he wears
have I worn the shirt of the infidel
isn't that for but me and God to say
I can smell the sweet aroma of change
so many kitchens now does my door open
to
smiling in hesitating loveliness
I prowl the thoughts of all those new
no game do I play
though to some it may seem
this is a new level of reality
perhaps a little too wary
chasing a dream
but surely Lord
my one true him
is indeed somewhere out there
and with my M.A.K. over eight months
lost likely forever to me now
I have to search
even with half a heart
as I can't let that half die too
for my soul will die
without any such sweet
interaction
as after sex
that is all we truly have..........
