Like words never wholly kissed
We played our words for keeps
Aware fully of how ephemeral
They make vowels these days
Sheep, that flood the ether
The best gestures o f
The brain went unread
And the most talented beauty
Were paragraphs unpublished
I think there is no parenthesis, love
Alphabets are ruined by the internet
Poetry lives on trapped
In the syntax of the human heart
Who will never wholly kiss you
Or find the meaning behind
The trapped sentences of our lives
And these thoughts that do repeat
We played our words for keeps
Bitter for not having more
Beauty to offer, and to share
Love made our eyelids all aflutter
But innocence died
While the spring of the world
Invented a more holistic verb
To express not what was lost
But what was gained by
The new verge, enchanted vocabulary.
Beautiful poetry Wuji!
