beseechingly noble
why
when I make love
I prefer to make love that matters
whether to man or page
I was never really one to fully
appreciate
the believed greatness of
necessity's change
as my life
I have never truly ventured to
somehow validate it or
drastically rearrange
now my thoughts
those are another story
entirely
and yet this beat up bag of
embodied years
gone too long now fully
unclaimed
precedes me in my every even smallest
gain
so you must tell me truthfully then
at this late not so great stage in the
game
what man of any true substance would
really have me
not too many
yet still
I must exit
this latest
spiritual like burial ground
my flesh
longs for some freer movement
my eyes a new exciting view in which
to focus on
my thoughts
some brighter ideas
for a greater core
connection
conceived
between
we as vital human vessels
or release unto one's spiritual
growth
the playing field just now
became wider.................
