Always be direct

For you are so,

with velvet glove

and in direct,

come straight home

and see me, eye to eye...

in this, one sees love

there is direct, softly

there is direct,

like a Mack Truck

and one feels the tread

and consumed by dread

to be sidestepped, as

well as one might

there is direct, cruel.
And that, is not you.

Oh yes, one thanks the stars
and moon that there has been this gift
of find
calm comes then to one’s mind
to thank you, for you

fate steps in
having heard the creak of heartwrench
and did not turn away in its finding
but grasped its gasp
knowing
knowing

then taking up

the velvet glove of direct

There are ways to be direct without being cruel in doing so. So often we forget the beginnings of a relationship when feelings held more value and were treated with kindness.
