meandering thoughts go on
meddle while you play
say not what you have
but just what you have to say
where is my heart dear one?
free, in love so lovingly warm
just where do I start?
if I am indeed not done
why at the start of the hooded
storm
he ascended unto my world in a
mystical flutter of clearly
uncomplicated merry
the essence of my unassuming self
was captured by such feelings
so positive yet scary
he brought into my being
breath that had never breathed quite
so well nor so strongly before
he possessed not just one but many
intricate keys that could open fully
my complex heart's stubborn door
at the last of the line
he shone forth like a proudly silent
star
and taught me that I was truly meant
to be what we together only are
happiness personified with no rigid
bluff to fight for nor recall
a couple drawn to mark by two lonely
yet hopeful hearts in an instant so big
yet utterly small
a love's lifetime generous gift to true
believers of each his own worthwhile potential
one heart's perfection outlined in its
significant other's blinded eyes
oh, how indeed mutual trust is most essential
just one piece of advice
always remember the answers while you are
forgetting all the unimportant whys
for we as one are still in some ways two
and so 'do unto others' still somehow applies
as you of course would have done unto you.........
