Gingerly Full Poem
Such a strange and delicate secret
A careful presence, gingerly making its way
As it cautiously tailored its weakest
Piece of a memory, in a dim, candlelit grave

The dull robbery of a defenseless compassion
A breakable charity turned into regret
A wild night sight of a poor man’s fashion
A purple heart , all stained in red

One gentle theft of one gentle heart
Without consideration of time or dependence
The roundabouts of a restless mind
With a jealous riddle and a slanted vengeance

A glance was stolen, a soul amazed
Gingerly paving its wildfire trace
A monster of hearts, too artful and sly
Gingerly prowling a gentleman’s eye

Carrying the winds of a misconceived time
In the foolish darkness, all truth is slant
Open the window to sneak in the sky
Carry the creature to another man’s land
