Soul Love

 

Soul Love

 

Those who habitually wear worn down shoes,

reckon there’s still some life in the old uppers yet,

here’s a lick of black polish to cover any perish

and those aren’t holes, they’re lived in soles.

I hear you; I still believe, I am one of those

reluctant to let go, but she loves me, you know?

She replaces older dreams, like changing channels

or interrupting you at least, coalescing from static

into potential, kinetic, something like charismatic,

her smile is only soul love. And the truth is, dear,

you changed your shoes long before I thought

to stop window shopping. You let me fall long ago,

cut cobbled stitches and let love’s true soul grow.
