Trust knows

To not be trusted
Is to be cast
Into a darkness
Where light is never seen
Where the beloved's breathing
Sleeping
Slken skin
Is forever never

Without trust
Time places the me
Beneath covers of awaiting death
Where future is dreamed
Never realized

Those who never know trust
Delude the heart into false motion
Nurturing beats that slowly reverse
Seeking not life
But demise

Trust
Is love's only armor
Impenetrable by arrow
Or lance
Or agenda

Wear it on one's lapel
As you drink in the other's eyes
To blink is not an option

Trust knows
