damn our damned pride
that devours us inside
rote anxiety and fear
our self mutilated tears
consequences defied,
dulled and then denied
“truth” full of affectation
then shun all correction.
A glimmer or a gleam
a simple twinkle in a dream
a change in composition
then transforms damnation.
the simple gleaning that we see
sighs longingly for beauty
my affections! affectations!
begin to bear all relation
to light to love to learn
nothing else of any concern
Placing all that we must purge
for these profound reminders
will never leave us and will stay to embolden, to reassure, and to love you, no matter where you go.
