I ask him why it is,
how it came to be this way-
The many lovers and
the passion,intensity
of both his love and sadness.

Being crippled,stifled
when stimulation was required.
The power games..Chess-
but it was dominoes that fell.

His emotions challenged by
the rival belief of
Love as a shopping mall
where expensive packages is all.

Being cornered,besieged,
victim of saline spells
cast to capture attention.

Sitting there without
a word to cast,
he reveals his unwavering faith,
as he throws back his head
and laughs.
