Butt naked

(will this be you and me?)
When first we started...

Our streets were paved with gold

And everything good rained upon us

With potential of the highest degree

Each day filled with endless possibility
we were positive there were no limits
to the place in this world
where we might come to be
there was not anything
worthy of the effort to
produce the necessary focus and drive
with an intensity to fashion a design
no short of amazing
while fulfilling its purpose
with economy, versatility...
Minimal waste,
while maximizing efficiency
little we could envision
our spirit would leave
short of excellent
in every degree
not to find worthy to complete
or leave
lost or broken
for what purposes
of what endless possibilities
we could call to mind,
imagine or perceive
there was no limit to our strategy
or weakness in what we could do together
so strong was our faith and belief
never wasn't ever even
possible
nor fear or failure
entered in our blog of loving life
for us, there was only
calm compassionate verse
even at our worst
we were together in spirit
and deed
we were never further
than the need for loving comfort
even closer than...
Someone dedicated to the purpose
doing something that they love
in our vocabulary
there was no such word as weak
misunderstanding was the greatest thief
to rob us of the best of our intentions
to be loving life together
forever and a day
for the balance of eternity
rather than losing it all
falling from heaven's smiles
and joyful laughter
at our worst mistakes
instead of mired in sorrow
sad and lonely
even when we're together
and leave us only
smoldering in the ashes
overcome with disbelief...
Gazing into the mirror
at our greatest foe
doing our best attempt
at damage control
while feeling helpless
against the tide
while drowning
in our sorrows
lost in the chaos
with senseless echoes
of anguished screams
for a more merciful solution
instead of feeling trapped
a hapless prisoner
of recurrent dreams
of self defeat
