Engagements

The day of two superpowers
     Passing white clouds amidst blue skies
Heaven's sprinkling blesseth showers
     Turquoise blue lagoon compromise
Surface inviting raindrop scours
     Lush influence by butterflies
Delicate petals of flowers
     Redolent coercion complies

Engagement

not a dim voice in the back of your head
not wisdom and words from those who are dead
not just some long forgotten equation

My breath catching,
I saw you sitting there.
