foibles

i know thy thoughts
beyond such eyes can see
where the heart would.
trained
to spot quivers
and slips

walls

invisible yet are
felt
with a thud
muffled replies
on crevices torn
shut

aletheia

sugar coated thoughts
with pleasurable realities
dire needs, wanting
guarded motions
skeptic
but
believer
anxiety overload

warmth unfold

symphony

3 quarters of a strain
different strokes
of staccato entrances
and ritard goodbyes
on hold
this one
of a different melody
the discord
fading
into the background
glorious swell
of an
unfinished piece.
