21 June 1981
Sunday AM
Looks exchanged
Curious
yet uninvolved
Time elapsed
at an uncommitting invitation
the journey
into the land of metaphors
begins.
Looks exchanged
change,
holding questions
How are you?
What brings you to this frontier?
The conversation
measured
as our story
unfolds.
Unknowingly
we have traveled
on some of the same roads
not once had we seen each other
see each other.
My story
untold
themed with chapters
of unfulfilled love
Your story
untold
themed with chapters
of betrayed love.
Both stories
untold
incomplete
nourished with realities
bitter fruits.
Both you and I
unrelenting
in our desires to be
completely harmonious.
And yet
we’re still two
independent notes
congruent
in affection and purpose.
Each pitched and strum at the phrase
“Proceed With Caution!”
And two who need no one
need someone
to love.
