In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust

In perfect love and perfect trust

We go where feelings stray

The antithesis of love is lust

Our love is built on cosmic dust

We fade not all away

In perfect love and perfect trust

Our fading love is on the cusp

In plain sight our feelings lay

The antithesis of love is lust

But martyr’d men and women must

For the good of each other say

The antithesis of love is lust

In perfect love and perfect trust

Antonio's Struggle

Hiding in plain sight

With no spies to fell me

Who would ever suspect

This pathetic shell

Not good enough

For anyone to notice

Antonio’s Struggle

Is mine as well

Not that I’m smart

Or pretty or talented

Or any such qualifier

That marks me as great

When everyone notices

Actions that get taken

But never the person

That’s making the waves

Calms seas are coming

The skies will grow blue

After the storm comes

The rainbow shows through
