Tentative emotions

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)

Each time
when we evoke the mood

Our passions rise,
places few will ever know

Whenever we meet…
it's never often enough

i find myself in tears
when i am away too long

Haunted by the usual fears
we will both …
be stubborn enough to win…
and both lose.

Instead of being humble enough
to choose.

Not to be confused about
What we have in common.

Doing this dance
about each other.

From these fragile emotions.
To the indominable will  

In love and life.

Tentative emotions
