And I was born into hope,
An amniotic thing,
Full up with pride and distinct
smiles.
And you knew nothing of surety,
of compromise,
of the sanity
that true pleasure can bring.
a truth with no ear to bleed.
a note with no melody to sing.
And we melded, blended
Into a wholeness,
Through fits and fights,
We became
lovers above the light.
Where no one could see,
Where your wholeness
could remain.
A beautifully, masculine thing.
And, I floated with you,
As long as the shadows
were born and lived
here.
And, then
The darkness drifted away,
For all to see,
this love from you and me.
In your implore,
Inside your plight,
We were no longer lovers
above the light.
And, you moved away,
toward another
stay.
toward another way.
And, we
Became just two...
People in the light.
No more mornings,
Followed by passion filled
nights.
And, you moved
Toward a missed light,
where you could show
beliefs and misguide.
In the light.
In the fight.
No more love for you,
above the light.
