CAPTIVITY AND THE INVISIBLE WALK.

Within the apple of my eye,
the watchful fire bow bents me
into an elusive unforgettable desire.
Captivity and the invisible walk,
clothed into the notion of a new-found love,
all within a paradox that will become a runneth
because I've had more than enough
that I can actually bear.
Am I scared?
Adamantly so,
but as I am, I do declare within these words;
I am me when I read between your lines,
and as such we will pull ourselves together
in throughout the other side of that fragility that
still remains.
Yet gratefully we asunder the parted ways of beauty,
the parted subject from the paradox that unfolds
as I probably forgot that I did mention it before.

Would you right me if I'm wrong?
It is that a yes or it is that a no?

AN ANGEL OR TWO AND AN ALLEGED CRISIS OF FAITH

I shifted aside the fruition of
my thoughts once I decided to make
room on my working table for an angel or two.
There I pursued in unclothed uncertainty
the reinvention to restart everything from scratch.
Yes,
from the absolution once betrayed,
I gave in into my self-inflicted wound
the passing chance opportunity
to set the record straight.
Yes,
that is a fact,
and the angels will dance to a memory almost full,
eloquently undone,
though they still stand side by side behind me
whispering literary clot into my brain,
into the night,
into not knowing if this is a prank or
an ordinary crisis of faith.

We reap from certain rewards,
we twist and turn in touch
with our surroundings
not knowing the matter
that runs invisible to the eye
of an ill-mannered
beholder.

We touch and go.
