A Simple Case of Keeping On...

Words are a chariot; they bring us together

Words are a weapon; they drive us apart

Darling, words bind us and oh, words can sever

But never untether the strings of the heart

Tell me with nothing but touch what you’re thinking

Darling, sometimes it seems words miss their mark

Write me a poem that needs no rehearsing

Where wordless whispers are lost to the dark

We’ve been together with eons between us

We’ve been apart in a heart-to-heart dance

Darling, no matter what happens; we’ve been ‘us’

Far too long to give ‘giving up’ a chance
