Held (Free verse) by <~>
Here is a man that I wish would open
and find me, a wellspring, standing by
kindly laughing at his demise,
the Spartan in him melting at my smile
disarmed and made wise
in letting go of why
Holding my hands aside
I know better than to try and pry these cracks,
Having survived some seismic episodes
and swept and mended what was left
Broken, torn, bereft
but given time, can begin
In the dark, when hard is soft
and torn is softly assuaged
with warmth anew,
nothing can be everything
between me and you
