Peace Calls

Allow me to make this suggestion By all means you can oppose Carefully listen, boldly take these steps with me Dotted lines, that once held our names Easy the journey seemed, tough one it really was Fairy stories, never knocked on our doors Gambling for love, fighting non stop was all we did Here I am, there you are, distant with every ticking clock I hated you with a passion, you couldn't stand my guts Jagged edges were our playground Knots on our heads as we drove each other crazy Love, the one word that never found refuge in our hearts Morning intoxications led to Nightly insanities Organized hurts and cuts Prescriptions couldn't do the trick Quarreling Rumblings Slicing Tearing Ugly words from our ugly hearts Vibrated the compass, covering every corner Wisdom i've sought, now i want us to try Xenoglossy is not my speciality, I hope am clear Younger no more, a fixer I've become Zenning out the bitter past, as we build a peaceful future July 9th 2015
