Caressing The Plus

Caressing the solitude of being lost in one's thoughts    
starved for a receptive partner eager to explore    
the bite of Winter's chill    
deposits a freeze thraw on body and mind    

Discard the psychoanalytical babble    
break down the hierarchy of needs    
the human isn't ment to be denied    
the strongest of biological needs  
  
Barriers and walls present obstacles    
inner desolation paired with external depressors    
this is prime muiltifactoral analysis?    
pass on the five hundred dollar shrink  

Rage, frustration, and denial    
wreck the path that brings peace of mind    
in knowing that someone can relate    
the last unicorn doesn't morph into a Minotaur  
  
The hammer is bloodied with fresh stains    
routninely at this time of year    
artificial highs erode away at time which won't be replaced    
a key is lost in darknesses grasp    
   
Gestures of kindness    
the sharing of that which can't be repaid    
of declaring someone else matters    
brightens the soul    
   
The increments build up to coat of protection    
of value in loving those around us    
even absent Eros's breath    
pockets hope where a seed might grow...
