Laces And Soulful Paces

like opposite shoe sides, tightly secured together
meeting each other’s needful strides, two different species 
making sure-footed, secure bow-ties – though truth seldom in
mating’s many polished, too often only briefly
                                  vowed male and feminine lies~
                    
                         wide-open 
complicit eyes – love’s poetic tries endearingly 
written and playfully recited-spoken -- 
both faux and pure leather, cured, laced
though not always eternal, for the breeding moment
fashionably unbroken

or one night we stand lie down together
as the house-glass and stone

sometimes no greater evil~ just the separation of alone

Hilda Greenhough Date: 5/8/2024 8:37:00 AM So many outside influences can tear two people apart. I've found that it isn't just two, but that there is often a third person involved. I like this poem with it's timely metaphors and mystery of love.

Vijay Pandit Date: 5/7/2024 10:27:00 AM A splendid write Joe--wooing for love, reaching out to each other--these lines paint the story of pursuit: wide-open complicit eyes – love’s poetic tries endearingly written and playfully recited-spoken ---not always eternal, true--but blessing nonetheless-- lovely depiction, my friend.
Ink Empress Date: 5/7/2024 10:13:00 AM Just the separation of alone! What a powerful line to end this with!
