I’ve so far lived
What may have been,
The in between
Something akin,
To sporadic measures
Of wistful pleasure,
Agleam wouldst seem
Alluding to contentment,
Said be for most
Achieved in but a dream…
Till now were times
I anxious to find,
This world abide,
Shared altruistic life
Might yet be mine…
Hence set behind
A past held fast,
I’d want be blind
To feminine acuity,
Whose wisdom such
Would foster love,
Thru fate’s modality
Beyond the in-between,
A relevant contentment,
