acquiescence

It's a sunny Sunday and it's time to whirl! The Wordle words over at The Sunday Whirl today are: barrier, detail, diamond, pleat, power, strap, swing, suspend, tough, unit, waterfall, and zip. I like a good conversational poem, and I put this in first person, second person format.

acquiescence

I said,

there seems to be a barrier

between your mind and your soul

with sweet truth hiding like a diamond

inside a tough pleat in the armor

around your heart

you said,

love is in the details

and you can't help it

if I have mood swings

and my tears flow

like silent gushing waterfalls

then, I figure out the power

of your defense again

when you strap the issue

onto me and zip up tight –

suspending

any more inquiry

I said, I guess

you and I are not unified whole

we are separate units –

complete

but part of something

more complex
