My hands can gently hold.
Also ball into fists.
I refuse to lift my hands to hit.
I refuse that kind of anguish to sit,
...
Wind and sea,
Leaves me adrift.
With this warmth...
Sitting in my heart so grounded.
...
A spell within repeating.
Unseated in my grief.
Shadows lift from me.
Unwind I do from needing.
...
You're trying to clutch onto time,
Like you are smuggling family heirlooms.
Better give that notion up!
The only thing that seems not to age,
...
If you are not prepared...
And ready to leave,
By the time I arrive...
You will be left behind!
...
The streets are full with aging teenagers.
And those who believe they are ageless!
Irresponsible and socializing their whims.
Those who can not get enough of 'happy hour'...
...
If I was not anywhere at all,
I'd be there with you on my mind.
Attempting to define it.
And why I insisted,
...
Arrows and bows...
And chocolate proposals.
Shared candied hearts,
With notes of love and kisses.
...
Tender?
I can surrender,
A tenderness.
I can become seduced...
...
