compromise

we play nice and continue
for harmony’s sake
since promises are kept
including those one never intended to make

but when it’s time to put away the distractions
to take rest and sleep,
it’s a lonely night for any
that try to halfway meet

orbit

our orbits are coming back into transit

and i’m so happy we’re crossing paths again.

 

distances between hearts measure far greater

than between planets in the silent expanse beyond.
