I wince to see my proffered treasure spurned,

as you turn your attention to the baubles with which other

"brotherly" lovers strew your party-going

path, laughing at my artless efforts to woo you.

I view your table through a kitchen window, (a sight

you invited me to see,) and it's spread with all the treats

I'll eat at our private supper; but when I knock

at the locked door, no one comes to open it.

I hope and crave for the unification of identity

that's meant to be (twixt you and me,) enabling

a stable blending of spirit to emerge - as really

whole, and beyond the reach of critical outsiders.

     An eagle couldn't hope to soar the sky,

     unless it dared to take the plunge and fly.
