Down at the root of inception
in the deep and dark underground
love spirals and sinks and turns
away from the call of intent.

Loud, too loud, the ears shut down
but the hum in the way of all hums
carries the tune of what should be done
along every step of the way.

No skip and jump can clear the hump
of unending procrastination
and love in this slump a blight
on the smooth movement of life.

Intention and deed like spice in a stew;
eat and be satisfied
or suck on a thumb after twiddling is done
and fade into the lost forgotten.

Love spirals and sinks and turns;
one day intent will be heard
and the weapons of soul destruction
will implode with the force of action.

One day, one day; there’s no stew today
because I’m not cooking for you!

Helen~

I REALLY like the zinger of 'suck on a thumb after twiddling is done'

Let's this baby up to the top~

you are indeed deeply moved to write, and you must write...

I think sometime you write like a man feels....
and that's a good thing!!!!!!!!
