(In just less than three parts)

The Gap-

I play victim.

I am fake - I lie

I am the worst to take

Into your arms- into your team

Am I no part of your dream?

For my best was never

good enough to the class

that you bring. I am tough,

I know, but tender inside

like the crab legs you eat.

So let this be a confession

of all that is true, Let us not

forget my truth is a lie, is it?

A truth construed…?

From Ice Bars to Wet ones

Have I not come through?

Broke like a scandal,

I’ve done little for you...

I glorified peeps and the like

I felt it human- till I saw light

of my only angel- only real flight

in the arms of my beloved’s night.

I do what I ought to do,

it is no longer in my control.

Long ago, I sold my soul

to a figure of my imagination.

And though words are played

with and tinkered. These words

I speak forward are as pure as day.

So without further delay…

The Bond-

Two perfect strangers come together

Among three immortal gators and

a Christmas tree with no lights.

Brightest of nights in darkest times.

She is a living replica of Violent lee

Happier times as she wore a black and

Frailed coat. Standing patiently as wind

passed her by. In glance, we shared stance.

Cupid freezing neath the bushes aims.

Frost dissolves in my cappuccino breathe.

I lean to cover her neck in silken rapture

of woven delights blocking hard winds.

Truth be told- this day would I never

have known would be the time of her

arrival. She is waiting under moonlit

skies and sees the same sky as I...

Two winters later, I still inhale

the same air at the same moment

as she. Our loves begotten tight

as a rope of unrivaled density…

The Purpose

What is less than three they ask?

It is a symbol, a sign. Above

the comma, beside the four.

And it means so much more.

It is an unparallel struggle

of two distinct shapes- one

sharp edges and piercing drive.

The other conserved and strong.

For once embraced they belong

in unison of love entwined and

admiration for the like of two

curious creatures of a love divine.
