enchantment
a catch
curiously carved out
in the breast pocket
of this thundering pulse
my love grew running shoes
and won medals in races
with unaware opponents
but that was before
all the diseases ruled
then you sprinted in on crutches
and started handing out trophies
with words
that drove big Cadilacs
unapologetically into my head
friendship sprouted from the vines
of solitude
and love became your talisman
forcing the moments to melt and
make light work of our 'Short Lived
Stranger Hood'
and you walk now
with newly awakened grace
through the vast chambers of my
deepest heart
king of all you encounter
while being the happy leaser of my
soul
as a true winner
even you know
that you will never complain
of your post...............
