Love is like a
Firefly that we capture
With the hearts net
And that unlike those
In the wild never
Stop flickering until at
Last we eventually do
But they are released
Back into the wild
Flickering again until caught
Illuminating someone else’s heart
There is only one
Thing in the world
Which can never be
Submerged or buried forever
It’s called the truth
It’s either offered freely
Or answered when asked
Or ferments and rots
When attempting to hide
Appearing like a rash
Or like erupting boils
Sometimes like tree stumps
Or potholes which halt
Even the deepest hope
The thing about truth
Is that it is
Like water sent to
Cleanse erode or crack
The best built walls
I have no regrets
Because there are no
Mistakes everything has its
Purpose whether good or
Bad everything only ever
Does one simple thing
Getting you from here
To there and absolutely
Everywhere else in between
Some people want to
Keep you back there
Back there where the
Back is gone the
Only ones that can
See the back are
Those behind you and
Never those in front
You can have anything
You want from life
You can’t have everything
You want from life
Stop wasting your time
Chasing your every things
And capture those any
Things because the any
Things eventually will add
Up to your everything
