train tracks churning, splintering trust
within attraction’s spark of impassioned friction
hoarse lungs, grinded-raw against unspoken hurt
rusted hope, poisoning from deep within
raw emotions, framing quivering eyes
difference\'s belated deliverance of aching pulse,
brave eyelashes blink furiously
refusing to drip tears of submissive fears
stubbornness as fierce resonation
refocused eyes glistening in determination
refuting their relationship’s untameable tracks
is surrendered to a Titanic destiny
life’s oars gripped tighter to defy jostling seas
this, a wild ride upon love’s seats
surviving by investing, and
gripping
each other, ever tighter
Still!
