Brief
Brief...
...Brief is the
Restlessness
Of the thief,
When he's recalling
What he had
Stumbled on
In the dismal dark that
Had proceeded him
In this glade.
Brief...
...Brief are her
Glances that
Penetrate...
...Rousing his love,
And thus
Sealing fate...
Can we absolve our-
selves
From all the
Murky mess we
Made?...
Brief...
...Brief was how
Little time
I'm allowed...
Listen to owls,
And watch
As they crowd
'round me in such
A way to draft
A confession
From out
My screaming soul!
Brief...
...Please take a breath,
Or time will
Deplete...
...Watch as you purr
As I catch your
Heartbeat...
...Tonight, to be loved,
And to love is
My one only goal.
