lately, i keep my heart in a cage,
as she's gotten restless and flighty,
where she runs to roost in nests
that are only just warm enough
with hot and promiscuous promises;
but, tonight, when i went to check
the locks, i found the little gate open,
and she, rounded and curled,
nestled in delicate and gentle palms;
she has not run here to roost, but rather,
i think, wishes to see, and savor, a warmth
she's never been given before, but
a thought gums up in my mind:
when did she find her way out, and
since when did you have a key?

always, the end of march still feels like winter,
but april... when april calls on the blooming rose,
always, she ushers in spring's new beginnings,
and this year, she gave me you,
a vernal sun behind clouds,
but still so brightly shining,
melting the last of the bitter winter hour,
a biting frost fallen in the cold walls of this heart,
and illuminating the things thought to be lost,
word by word, piece by piece,
the forgotten poet in me—
you shone brilliantly,
like a clear star dotted in the night sky,
an astral anchor for this lost, hopeless sailor,
once at the whim of nothing but tumultuous sea,
trapped in watery forces...
it was you who dared to shine
like an outstretched hand,
firmly taking in mine, to pull from the depths
a new me, that holds more love for the warmth
of palms as tender as the ones you've shown me;
