On Sale For Thee (+2)

Playing in the front window

of your affection

 

My love became a storefront

for all to see

 

Displaying what my heart

had kept well hidden

 

Priced to sell, and tagged

—on sale for thee

A Conflict Sure

 

As a walker,

I like pavement

 

As a traveler,

open space

 

As a thinker,

I prefer logic

 

As a mystic,

only grace

 

A conflict sure,

all age foretells

 

My soul,

this state decries

 

The answer dearest

to the one

 

To the other

—always lies

A First Beginning

 

 Granting myself permission,

I advanced into the sun

 

The rays now scorching by me,

this journey zero-sum

 

Racing toward the present,

all chains come flying off

 

Into a first beginning

—my dreams and wishes caught
