without quick response
puzzles of life
so much can push
wrong pieces in a good place

spew sweet perfumed words
when we listen
do we fear
hearing of poisoned love?

and color poured out
to share this simple joy
now each man sees
every beat of my heart

your hand slipping from mine
I chose a lost kitten
love healed our two souls
now we are three

sees so few footprints
its bricks steady

I have waited twenty years
I need to live
these dreams are shadows
a lament before death's arms

his untimely blindfold
conjures a crown of thorns
