corrugated baltic amber
          -----------------------

destiny must have caught up with us.
somehow two hearts which have been
forever friends and never called more
came to the bedrock realizations
that we can not stand what we have become
or whom we now revolve about
another day

somehow two hearts which have never let
fantasy or is it reality
take full control against our misdirected
courses and put us on a better track
have conceded, given in, consented
to loving one another

and despite the pleasure or not pursued
in our respective respectable or not
lives, we see the voids left in our beings
that we trust that one another can fill
and the special things we give to each
other we can not give to others or ourselves
such as implicit unbounded honesty

so there we have it, bedrock.
now we must unscrew ourselves from the
sockets we have twisted and contorted
ourselves into over time, break free
of the lies we lead, and take one another
by the hands and run for the rainbow
damning the world as we flee

falling in love is a leap of faith.
