Love Beyond Tribal Ties Poem by John Sensele

Bleach leeches of the switch of the doubt
Your mind nurtures without reason
When in horror I gaze at your lips pout

At moments our hearts in succulent season
Ought to converge on the feasible focus
To shift our liaison lens from the puny prison

That stifles our love in the ludicrous locus
Where our love strictures suffocate
At times traditions of your family caucus

Impede reeds of new millennium etiquette
Cringe at tribal considerations your folks make
Querying conjugal creams you and I insert into the ticket

We believe breathes fresh air into the brand new cake we bake
As we forge ahead beyond tribal barriers to keep our dainty dream awake.
