Love is a Battlefield
An double sided acrostic
How to feel
Once you go.
Pull back the rev,
Else burn on the fire,
Lit with no view of risk.
I felt then at ease.
Fake, fed by code
Tip'd into the cusp.
Undo you as my beau,
Stop as my mind bids.
How did it come to this?
Idle for a time, numb, feel not an iota.
Get up, defy pain , span the gulf
Head held high, I am able.
Because even when romance fails, Hope lifts us high and real Love keeps us safe.

Miniature Mind Musings #8:
Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.
