too little

TOO MUCH

(I should just do my best and risk losing the security of their cares)

someone once said,
security is a prison which you give up your life for.

does it always last?

that fresh love,
so sweet, so tender

that beyond long years
you shall remember

and even when
you swear you hate

that initial promise
guards the gate

or is it weakened
by gentle time

and recognized
by a look's remind

and laid upon
its partner's breast

when both lovers
sleep their final rest.

is it not in the strands of grass between us
that no matter the traditions we uphold,
there will always be human desire
and hate
and love

It is the mirror we covet, a pane restricted to the contorted visions of society.

Yet the window is endless in its ability to capture the vast outstretch to the world we fold away from.

I have listened to the strumming of your song
and the way your fingers move is something I'm afraid I will never understand

the veins in your hands are flooding like rivers
like when swords are grasped and ****** into battle

you fight the air with your songs
and the water with your melody

and orpheus might turn, again, at you who plays for the pleasure of the gods -
yet it is not for them you play,
but for yourself.

and that is purity.

that song is so beautiful
and the strings make me cry
but I forget that an instrument needs to be taken care of too
in order to sound so wonderful.

it is soothing to see them,
taking care of one another.
