When fate says hello
My wonderful monkey puzzle
How to express what you want to hear
Do you have a chance, why every chance is a possibility
Why do you want it
Those eyes are their own mystery
It shows on the edges of your mouth, on your cheeks
There is no hiding there, not from these eyes
In a harbor you would dwell
What sacrifices would you make
For your boat to anchor here
You want to grow together
But one shadow is longer than the other
Can you come to that with your intimacy
Giving your heart and mind over
To receive this love
It is boundless
Will you be able to hold it
Safely within you
And still be you
In your youth and perception
Is this where you wish to sail
Into these open arms
That have no other intent
But what is given free
