it takes
great courage
to love..
great courage
and timing.
two hearts
must intersect
while they are
at their peaks..
for seamless
intertwining.

there is no knowing
with our head
whether
another’s heart
is at its peak
or at its trough..
except through
leaps of faith
and mystical divining..
because so many
choose to keep
the state
of their own heart
concealed in hiding.

if intersection fails..
then love is tested
by our own capacity
for holding patience.
but then again..
so many hearts
remain forever stuck
in cycles of
desynchronized
attempts..
at building understanding
and communication.
