The Loved One

What can I say...

you are my life...

unknowing...

I suppose...

you are the whole...

the loved...

the yelping wanting...

cry to love...

need to love...

to be loved...

all the other...

parts engaged...

married gagged...

tied up tied down...

debt wired...

like a time bomb...

set to blow...

vow'd promise'd...

memory'd to...

work place friends...

to photographs...

it never ends...

the one ring evidence...

our derri'ere stamped...

MINE...

not so prime...

that's all fine...

the grind reality...

the story...

there's a better one...

that goes...

the French...

are civilized...

they have their loves...

their lover's...

clandestine...

smile'd understandings...

without words...

no one wants...

to muck it up...

no one wants...

to hurt or harm...

another one...

destroy a house...

a spouse...

bring family down...

yet we hurt...

love is all...

we need...

are never sure...

if there's a place...

for something true...

for you and me...

in me and you...

or ever know...

somehow...

please...

show me...

if you yearn...

for this thing too...
