      <description>Tip of the temple

clear skies

after the storm

etched against the promise

of baby blue

with patches of perfection

Promise

hope chases expectations

cushioning blows

come what may

function

      <description>what it took
 I can't forget
 sometimes we need
 the single space
 to double
 for clarity
 and we called a truce
 only to find
 what we were looking
 for
 slip me your cards
 i'll shuffle them . . .</description>

      <description>concrete copies
of wounds
blatant protest
dug deep in
paths misled
mark this much
with no submission
to truth embedded
in protest
faithful are you
to secrets you prey
upon within
the darkness that
crams . . .</description>

      <description>i called out
for i knew not
what perturbed me more
the dim reminder
of innocence lost
and laughter
 forgotten
the quiet insistence
of a friendship
sworn
and torn
by pride
pulled
 tried
not true
and you . . .</description>
