thin line
keeping an account
though you do not need
to be kept accountable
my worst vice
yet your release
to the fatigue of
keeping a safe distance
makes no sense
to a man who will
never fall out of love with you
these books allow for
no closing of any account
any and every last bit
of love shared
of dreams long forgotten
holds a meaning in the
web of forever
every word of love
genuinely spoken creates
a context all its own
out of this I claim
what is mine
and no balance sheet
will admit what the
ledger of my loving
will display on demand -
your heart
always paid in full...
