Gloze Reveal

There is none to be had

Palliate insensitive

So say it straight

The clues were there

Pointing the way

Yet this explorer missed them

His zeal a lust

For destinations relief

Selfish now loathing

To see nothing

Then the veil lifted

Late.  Too late?

Suddenly aged, suddenly wiser

The not subtle nuance

A retarded soul

Awoken

Slap, the mighty smack

Deserved

I lost your humanity

I lost your dignity

This is not who I am

Disbelief differed deferred in each

Can forgiveness come

Self to self

And most

Selfless to selfish

Succor

Come dear friend

Sleep with me

Find solace in our breath

Temporary though it may be

Protected in each other

Safety as we hold hands

Like otters we never float apart

Be pleased we can trust

In touch we find newness

In breath and reaction

And we can be in solitude

Protected side by side

Humanity and truth

Warmth in age

Man and Man

Woman and Woman

Woman and Man

Spouses espoused

Friends adopted to family

We are as such

In peace in anger

In solitude in magnitude

Pause all

For our real matters

Unpause

Dear Diary

So like I am awake

And all girly

With feelings and such

Like geez

I am a pathetic lonely guy

I am a guy aren’t I?

Yup

So like I saw myself in the mirror

After a horror film night

Battling the demons in my head

And I saw

Einstein!!!!

Cool man, says 14 year old me

You look like Einstein

Time to brush your teeth

But not your hair

Cause you look like Einstein

But your girly side is so lonely

Boy

(I think) I need a pancake

A Giant Apple Pancake

With butter and maple syrup

And lots of strong coffee

Dear Diary

I may be lonely

But my belly is happy

And I look like Einstein

And I am a guy.

I checked

Veracity

Feel no regret

For being ever real

The false has no place

In this heart

Only children can live

In love and in trust

You have proved

The heart of the child

The honest and true

And I love

In you

Never Sit Out

Waffles and falafels she said

The perfect dance of foods

Launch the day to a fools delight

Waffles fat and fluffy

Cream and strawberries

Such a thing will carry you on

Permanently into the night

And dance all the day through the parks

And the streets

Let the reflections and sun dogs

The chill of the air

Kiss frost in those cheeks

And look out day crowds

For it is we who will dance

Twirls and bows

We split you in bowls

And tired we arrive

Falafels, its time

Fat peas and olive oils

Fried to deep goodness

Reenergize for night

As we pirouette to dusk light

We fly to the sky

And fall with the flakes

I am happy I asked

You out on this dance

Had I sat this one out

I would never know this thrill

Swirl through the seasons

Live for all reasons

Take every dance

Take every chance

The Way of Junctures Conduit

The journey is one so improbable

A touch between people

Lines of connection

We burst into the world

Products of culture

From nations far and flung

A settlement to place

Lines in space

Intermingled means

Touch

In the medium

Shards of light shed from joining

We come from below

Head to heart to part

The journey begins

It starts with Faith

Cartography of coincidence

Stirred from the soul of one greater than either

Humbled and grateful

We need only listen

Imbued we are with free will

A message of faith

Across points of time

These intended paths take a fork

Away from a future

Something not right

Yet product so right

How could we have been wrong

And the greater in faith

Is never wrong

It continues in Hope

Breaks in word

In couples

Always knowing something better awaits

Do not lose Hope

For in Hope will be found

The means to express

The conduit to our place

Where again we meet again and again

It comes as Love

A journey long

Rewarded

Labour to this love

For she shall love he forever

And he shall love she forever

Juncture across this vast map

Shards of light in sun and stars

Gather in brightness

Banded never ended

A pair singular in journey

A pair to prophet the journey

Free in will

Filled in faith, in hope

For love

Drift

Futility drives one here

The end

Doubts, self doubts

Echoes

And then you buoy me

Come close dear friend

Let me breathe new life into you

Together we are afloat

Reliant on an uncertainty

Knowing it is there

Through the liquid

Amniotic seas see

The dove so free

Returns beneath the hued arc

The signs, our futures

The foundation in firmament renewed
