and it has come to pass
that yet more silence
reigns on
no fire fall
no fabrication removed
just perfect nothingness
grown still
right now
between us
leaving
love so uncertain
and battle weary
your last words haunt me
maybe help me
even give me
hope in their own way
is so hard to really say
I need what I give
where as you
give what you think is needed
before you
I am unable to hide
and you are better
at hiding less
from me than you did before
we are the stillness inside
that speaks to us
you feel me with you
I know
even when I'm not there
and your confessions give me
much courage
but this hiding of your house of flesh
from me
scares me by your holding back
your most precious gift
that substance through which that alone
you can truly tangibly take a hold of me
and make me know that you are
truly real
why love me a fourth of the way
when you can at least live up to
us
and meet me half the way
in the path of your intent your
commitment and your faith
in this beauty that has sculpted
what we have together
this marvelous entity
aptly enough called
us..................................
