rest anxious heart
these taunts of love
will pass your window by
as night must turn
further from the sun
to reach the light of morning
you lay still and pause
for the rustle of destiny
may be whispered
from the mouth of a child
on a day of whirlwinds
and accident, you must
not shut the door
heavy locks of insecurities
leave no room for possibility
or good intentions
set and fix your eyes above
temporary rings and fast
food for the passion depraved
God knows you live alone
and walk along sunset skies
empty-handed without the kind
scent of a lover's warmth
guiding you home
love him and you will receive
a thousand dreams you could
never have dreamt in regret
