Experience

This yarn is bumpy, and frayed.

Its tinge uninspiring, and gray.

Here, we press the foot pedals.

A wheel turns slowly.

It is coarse.

You might call it ugly.

Press, and guide

And turn.

Spin

It. 

The Words of A Friend.

You're beautiful, you know

I'm telling you so

Look at the laughter in your eyes!

Just a bit more;

Keep going, my love.

Your heart makes me smile

Persist. Persevere. Prevail.

Keep going, my love.

Close your eyes a spell.

I listen carefully for you;

Heartbeat a melody.

Exertion and acceptance marry.

The guests are products,

The church is a library.

But no one will give you away.  

Velveteen rabbits

Time to admit it, 

Time to come clean. 

That look on your face, 

Was meant for me. 

You don't exist,

And neither do I. 

This moment, an ignition,

A reason to try. 

If I clamor here,

And you do your version,

We might be real.

 We might get motion.

Velveteen rabbits,

You and I.

Come, love.

Come love.

We're real in the tension,

Fake in the day.

We're non-existent,

If we don't engage.
