tempered is this moment's breath
when I knew you first as love
your hand it held no rose nor death
but bandages aching to span such before
hopeless tread
the mantra of your woe
beautiful mimicry in my head
come
may this moments realization
to tomorrow's past
cement bliss in insanity's own garden
as we are alas my love
'Revitalized'
nary anything at all
to just any most casual observer
but overwhelmed in each other's eyes........
