forgetting mindless expressions of the

hour glass emptying its salty breath

little walks with dog in tow, we talk

but never end the words forced to retreat

the arguments excretion in a variety of

depths, it seems that one of us is accused

of deeds done for loving careless ideals

with emotions of obsessive truths forgotten

let us remain still without purpose, our

voices silent, the only sound the breeze

in the blossoming cherry tree, a feeling

of freedom, but in reality we are aggressive

animals, our dinner now on trays watching

tv our minds memory searching for those

days of joy being with each other longing

for the night to blossom embracing each

other in the newness of life together with

all our might saturated in the ring of loves

tightening grip let us retreat beyond the 

sympathetic eyes with a more natural place,

a place where we share our diminishing

facades, yet know ourselves as one

with each other with no thoughtless

repetitive words between our shared love
