SWEET INTENT

Folder: 
JOURNAL#17

into the complex web

of the pending flame

we fly

two untamed carcinogenic

who know no other way

than to embrace life openly

leading shamelessly with

the fullness of spirit

feeble would be the attempt

to fight any further self damning

such as the hold of a long

since deadened love

so we each must call upon some

untapped strength

to somehow shrug the cloak of

emotional remorse

and allow patience her tender gentle

time

to repair our tattered heart's wings

for new horizons ahead

fearlessly our hopes shall ascend to

the clouds of unbridled possibilities

mercurial will be our path of such

sweet trespass

she all but now steadies our carefully

preset course

we shall look back and laugh

for what awaits

shimmers brighter than that of any sunset

the wanting heart paces now so anxiously

caged

as the readiness its known all along

is coming soon

so very soon

the conclusion to this

'leading up to events' is inescapable

spiritually

we take deep breaths

yet feign ignorance in each

to the obvious turning of the tide

our ecstasy is about to arrive

ah sweet once so very shadowy haunter

of my soul's happiness

prepare yourself

as your calm, tranquil world

is about to be most lovingly rocked

by a most insistent, unstoppable force

named aptly enough
