He was kind

& had sniffles

from a girl that he had kissed...

He was blind

& he was smiling

never knowing what he'd missed...

He found clarity

from our meeting

I don't claim to understand...

But he was sweet

& he was neat;

he said goodbye & shook my hand.

He was whimsical

spontanious

& searched for something lost...

He was searching for an answer

but unwilling to pay the cost...

Though if his smile was real

& if that's how he really feels...

then who am I to question?

But I'm only suspicious -

That boy looked delicious -

Was he lost within his regression?

I may never know...

I may never see him...

I may never find my own answers.

Though Defiant was he...

He rode next to me...

Two rhabdomancers

devining the key;

The key to our hearts

& the key to our souls...

The key we must have

if we are to hold.

- For A.J. -

I hope you truly found/find what you were/are

looking for... & I wish I could have kissed you goodbye;

you are one, very handsome man.
