nor is a diary as tender as I
nor is a diary so willing to cry
tears of such honest loving
over pain thats so clearly read
in your free spilling of words
the regrets in your loneliest moments
the stinging sorrows you've endured
I can feel the depth of your scars
as sure as I hear your lilting voice
in my ears
a pinnacle moment of such sweet
connection offers what one's suffering
most truly fears
Discovery
I have unearthed
such Achilles heel
in one true moment of sweet clarity
I surmise
only a kiss could better explain to you
just now how much for you I feel
ah but don't fret for long my darling
for I've still got your number
its writ in my heart
and as ever the more we are
simpatico.................
