Reinforce carefully

Restore beautifully

don't be afraid to ask

Here the question why is absolute, because without it you may never find what exists beyond it.

Racing thoughts

Neither alive nor dead, 

I am lost in my head.

Trapped among the trees, 

nestled in the weeds.

On a path of earth and rain, 

revisited again and again.

Inside the fog, beneath the sea, 

caught up in their whispered plea. 

I am drifting, shifting.

sands of time, sifting.

I am the pull of the current, 

the cold of the snow.

I am neither where I've been, 

or where I want to go.

A complicated reflection

of this woman that I see, 

welcome to the quiet storm of me.

Love without perfection

Sweet soft reminders of before, 

then comes more...

A rush of emotions blind unseen,

moments surely in-between.

Hearts could beat as one, 

righting every wrong. 

More than then, more than now, 

more than weary question how. 

But can old turn to new, 

and slowly pull them through?

Beyond the weight of six lost years, 

shattered in the wake of fears.

Tears that added two, 

nothing left to do.

What foolish words made bitter still, 

found life by way of heart and will. 

No reason to refrain, 

two hearts in love remain.

Dishonest in their hopeful ache, 

childlike in each found mistake.

More than that and this, 

two hearts, one bucket list.

She is milk and he is wine, 

they are surely by design. 

A perfectly imperfect pair,  

where will they go from here?

Sweet soft reminders of before, 

beyond the threshold of that door.

A broken typewriter key, 

the symbol of what could be.

Awake in stride of eight long years,

as truth of love with voice appears.

This day that woke two hearts, 

no longer worlds apart.

Here, is where they start...

one masterful work of art.

Cryptogram Quote 1 - Solution

"Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

- Albert Einstein

If - just a thought

 If is such a precarious word, it can drag you into the darkness or usher you into the light.

Trust?

Trust is the sweetest pill to swallow, 

lead and I'll follow, 

A whisper in the still of morrow.

Sweat upon the brow, and how!

a silent vow,

facing the winds of now.

Shaped by ripples and storms, 

true to form, 

cool, intentional and warm.

The amalgamation of souls, 

young or old,

brazenly arrogant and bold.

Steadfast in steps till it breaks, 

reality wakes, 

a silhouette of mistakes.

Trust, is a bitter pill to swallow, 

a futility of tomorrow,

twisted in the wreckage of sorrow.
