poised

shall we stay among these weightless clouds my dear prepare for a life of utter happiness

each breath you take I'll guard feverishly

each parcel of food I will taste first for poison

each step you take are within my already heavy bootprints

each dawn the angels' present to you I'll have already done recon on

gathering necessary supplies to aid comfort

to capture the weepy heart we stay close

by retro cameras or patronized poetry on pastel cards

either way

time lines are formed from the sharing of dreams

we are made of all that is beautiful

poised

proper

among strange swirling emotions

when I first looked upon you

the boy I was stepped aside

memoirs began writing the future

and within the treasured gaze you returned

a man emerged

open and naked as my name day

not one day since our birth has the silent movie stopped

not one day has passed where your not all I yearn for

this time I came prepared

instead of playing with VCR tapes

I went to hard drive
