tighter, Still!

 

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!
