How would you wrap words around an affair? This is how I did.
The Affair
Contentment safely contained chaos,
Ordered the world
With a gentle and thorough lover
Before another set of eyes
Unsuspectingly became
A swirling vortex of entropy,
Impassioned and unanchored,
Stability ignited into electric dance,
Exquisitely unquenchable obsession
Estranged from steadfast existence
Transported
To myopically misbegotten moments.
My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.-Psalm 62:5-6
