Anchor
Innocence in eyes nourished
the love songs your breath
scrawled all over me.
They emit our essence.
In their entirety
we exist.
Other than that we have trucked
to other terrains.
When there is a call
to cherish heartbeats:
I set up
our shop.
Palliative
When options pack it in,
in addled position
mesh with your Maker.
Souse in His spirit:
the reposing will reappear.
The purity of service
is proportionate
to the quality of calm.
Let the sceptics leer.
This isn’t for them.
Correctives follow
the converted.
Speculative triggers don’t
reside in this domain.
This is the burrow of believers.
Antilogy
Some are accoutered
in coarseness:
checks in with excess.
Tune in to spot
erroneousness of ego.
We bum rap others
what we’re most likely
to be censured for.
Along these lines whirls
gilly of worldliness.
