Arcanums Poems | Examples

Blind Trust

i scatter at your feet...

sprinkles of innermost secrets
all my demons laid bare
for your ears alone to absorb
as you unfailingly tuck all i share
       into your backpocket;
             safe from every soul 

you preserve arcanums as keepsakes 
          so they age 
like desiccated leaves 
in your care...
               this i know!
 without misgivings, 
i'd  s  u  r  r  e  n  d  e  r
cumbersome burdens of mine
 for you to carry,
            because you always do.
i'm a crucifix

                             g
           backwards 
with hefty encumbrance of faith
         on my shoulders 
  knowing 
         as sure as mountains 
                  never crumble 
your outstretched arms 
would cushion me mid-air 

i'd do so enough times 
                   to last a lifetime - 
and feel as safe as can be -
each time, my beloved.
      my trust in you...
