There was no light to be seen at dawn’s break

No tenderness left to combat this boldly lingering ache.

I could not see past what was left in my hands:

Invisibility at its best, a yearning I could not shake.

Beneath the secrets ran the lies among polyps of truth,

The breath of ambivalence lost within the soul’s quake.

And where there was loss, there was a bloom of

Banter and peaking curiosity, shielded and opaque.

While my hope-punctured daydreams sifted through,

We collided between fragments and angles of love to make.
