Drawn Of Equal
Poem by David Strege // art by Thuy Ngo

Drawn of courage,
Drawn of strength.
Drawn of equal passion and desire!
Drawn of patience,
Drawn of steel.
Drawn of equal measure in stature!

Mercy drawn,
Mercy given.
Mercy allowed, unaltered, unspoken!
Mercy had,
Mercy lost.
Mercy forgotten and cluelessly broken!

Passion of lust,
Passion unbound.
Passion beyond thought of control!
Passion in trust,
Passion unscrewed.
Passion behind a friendship renewed!

Friendship begotten,
Friendship not paid.
Friendship standing close to being betrayed!
Friendships disposed,
Friendships' reward.
Friendships now close enough to get laid!

Desire undone,
Desire lost.
Desire not ready enough to be found!
Desire unquenched,
Desire disturbed
Desire just waiting, a voice to be heard!

Equal in justice,
Equal in nature.
Equal to points and cracks in opinions!
Equal to soul,
Equal in harmony.
Equal in eyes that have not seen us equal!
