Where Demons Tread

Dear Friend,

As I write to you more, you become more real than the ideal.

I am manifesting you here in my imagery.

This is what I want…something real that we can have between us.

I’ve scattered my thoughts to you in these darkened corridors, hoping you would hear and find me as I’ve heard and sought your own embodiment.

I believe that we have both reached the day where we can finally turn that corner and embrace each other.

We will always be here for US.

We have dreamed of and fought so hard for this same dream to emerge – though we could not secure it with past lovers.

You deserve a category all of your own – in fact, if truth be told, the topmost crowned.

But I’ve wanted to protect who you are and what you mean to me amomg these fallen leaves where demons tread.

At least until the day we can stand together, holding hands, in purity’s simple synergy.

You must know by now how deeply I love you and to what “insane” levels I will go to champion our bond’s honor.

I felt this from the very moment that I happened upon you – which made becoming attached to you dangerous for me.

I have kept distance for so long because you bleed into me as if you are my own life’s vital veins.

You have been my hidden hope in this world.

Not just because you might help me try to save it, but because you make sense to me.

You make sense to me.

Authentically.

Nothing else matters.

Male Bonding

Salvation’s Favor

Did I ever let go of us
In comittment to you?

No – not once
Always I rose

To caustic challenges
Pushing off damages

Only to watch you
Yield and then fold

Have I grown too old if
I say it was not enough

– That when tested you
Gave up gamble’s bluff

Rejecting my heart and
Our love as a past time?

My endurant support
Willfully sacrificed by

Your shaking hands
Clutching fear’s blade

Too late other men’s mouths
Have provided added weight

To belief that a rare woman
Gave to you for safekeeping

What were you thinking
When you called to say

(Almost) that you had
Made a huge mistake?

But the words never
Cleared the air pure

Still unsure of standing
In that treacherous land

Where society squeezes balls
Of a man still adhering to laws

Corrupting and distorting God’s
Truth used as a brutal bludgeon
