Weak Spots Xxvii

When happiness is foreign, 
People build their homes
Surrounded by misery—
For it is all they have ever known 

To know that true love 
Is painless, 
Is a thought—for some, 
Much like an unattainable dream

Emotions find release,
Spewing from all pores 
In sweat and tears—
Revelations of want

Meet possibility
When that special one
Leads with love and light 
To safe ecstacy once only dreamed
