The way
Your smile leans
Against my heart,
Keeps me
From losing
Faith
*
The way
Your eyes
Wrap around
My words
Reminds me
That I am not
Irretrievable
Even
When
Fragmented
You lift me up
As though
I were whole
As though
I were weightless
*
I fail
Passively,
Defeat
Preceding
Endeavor
Your love
Is free
You are
The hope
That unlaces
My tragedy
The wind
That gathers
Me wild
From a serried
Earth
*
You made me
Believe
That I could be
Myself
Without inoculation
Or shame
You made me
Believe
That I could
Indite this muse
Even though
She scars on
Deliverance
Even though
I am too fragile
To unfold her
Wholly
*

By the way, I like this poem so much I tweeted it. I didn’t know if you have a twitter handle, so didn’t include it in the tweet. Is this your weekly prompt for this week?
