Day of Odd Days
On a day of odd days
When impressions
Misguide sensory perception
We on happenstance
Found surprises in sensitivity
Whose attributes have no gender
From that intriguing beginning
Began a discourse of us
Alike and unlike
Views agreed to disagree
Challenging debates
Pugnacious defenses
Passionate waves of words
Intellectual coalesce
And intimate congruence
Create a sense of understanding
And denial all at once
Of what is true
Four simple letters, L O V E
Have entered despite our intent
And I for one am glad it did
Those simple letters evoke fear
Transmit terror
Encapsulate panic
Except when it is understood
And for once I do
At last I do
