There is only one entrance. There is only one door. There is only one pathway You were meant to explore. There is only one body. There is only one blood. There is only you, Only good. There is only one instant. (Wait, my brother… Look, I see another way to rise) There is only one place. (Though it bends before it ascends and crests.) There is only one message (Leads me through the bramble to the blue where I) You were meant to embrace (Am certain we’ll be meeting again.) We exist in one body. (Here, my brother… Here, we may uncover all our eyes) We subsist on one blood. (To ensnare the whispers you wear.) There is only you, Only good. There is only one daughter. (Wait, my sister… Come, let us resist her. We shall find) There is only one wife. (Where they meet and ever discreetly climb) There is only one answer. (Along the ridge, with briar to the bridge, where I’ve) There is only one life. (Found a fading path to refine.) There is only one body. (There, my sister! There, should we persist, her self abides) There is only one blood (In the gloam - a body, a home). There is only you, Only good.

I wasn’t looking for Another open door When you breezed through one. I’d set a stolid stare Upon the window’s glare And I’d be damned ‘fore I’d have any fun. But you brought the joy Like the ethereal train from your dancing gown. Yes, you brought the joy. Pools of holy water reflecting that angelic sound. Off to another place With neither scent nor trace Of whim or wonder. I hid myself away To spend an awful day Indexing all I’d been made to endure. Remaining taciturn As I’d so often learn Was simply wasting. Whatever strength I’d been dealt. No reason, sadly, I felt To fight a battle I’d be sadder to win. But you brought the joy Like the ethereal train from your dancing gown. Yes, you brought the joy. Pools of holy water reflecting that angelic sound. Yes, you brought the joy. Lower me down, (You took that awful feeling…) Holy clown. (And hung it from the ceiling). Glory bound. (Not subtle yet appealing…) …tacit proposition from you. Can’t imagine what else I could do. I may still stomp and glare Blissfully unaware Of all it cost you Setting the stars to spin, All the while holding in The fear that joy alone won’t see you through. Let me recount the ways Your ghost diverts my gaze. Don’t interrupt, please. No clever, cryptic locks No depth of cinder blocks Could keep a door from welcoming that breeze. ‘Cause it brings the joy… Can’t imagine what else I could do. Knowing you would do the same thing too.
