The uncertain world of hope

Could you turn down please

Your smile and full eyes that tease

Are the only world

I make in me

When your glowing defies

My lightness to live in gravity

And your brown skin ignites my white

There is nothing to pretend

It is you I am reaching into

To push back to a freer life

Where if only creates this dream

I am the breath in your parting lips

How the deal then that kiss would be

Somewhere between

Immersion and unreality,

But here the rejecting

The self-delusory road correcting

Slow accepting

What cannot

Those impossibilities so well known

Always, always just want to disown

But then I look again

And you are there 

Your dark eyes and full smile

That please

That ever please
