kneel before the world

surrender will set you free

Heron waits calmly

less travelled,
a loop.
I’ve been here before,
With You,
and You,
and You
and You too.

Goodbye
is best said on mute,
so cowards think.
but Lovers,
bold and foolish,
welcome Hurt-
Old, or New,
and
embrace farewells,
secure in the wise
callowness of youth.

Fare thee well.

and

next time,

Bring some little ruckus to your heart.

close every door
shut.
no one will enter,
and you are free.

you board the windows,
and stuff the cracks…
you are safe,
and alone.

all of a sudden a
Tinkling in the attic-
And you know
It is
too late.

She steps
down
to you
with a smile.

With a smile.

Your heart soars,
even as it becomes
a slave chained
to itself.

And she smiles.
As you unshutter the windows,
She smiles.

And together,
You walk out
that door.
And together
You smile.
and continue,
Interrupted
for all
Eternity.

Interrupted,
for all to see.
