Minds

Our minds have grown,
into edifices of slips that turn to 
pride...
and eject a lifelong withering pulse,
to reveal you.

The grueling drips have dragged,
a common understanding of 
our enduring limits
into empty nights,
and inside a creeping smile...
that again reveals you.

Inside us lies
a sown up compassion
for intricate devotion screaming for space...
yet conflates all seasons into one.

Awaiting our trust,
a wilting journey compelled by minds,
concealed from vivid and storied 
acclaim..
declares defeat...
