Laces And Soulful Paces

like opposite shoe sides, tightly secured together
meeting each other’s needful strides, two different species 
making sure-footed, secure bow-ties – though truth seldom in
mating’s many polished, too often only briefly
                                  vowed male and feminine lies~
                    
                         wide-open 
complicit eyes – love’s poetic tries endearingly 
written and playfully recited-spoken -- 
both faux and pure leather, cured, laced
though not always eternal, for the breeding moment
fashionably unbroken

or one night we stand lie down together
as the house-glass and stone

sometimes no greater evil~ just the separation of alone
