Eomtions brimming over like boiling water
Your bags are packed, yet your heart is not
Eyes focussed on the glow of the city
Yet your mind has not left the side of your love
Thoughts pace back and forth
Everything is pressing down as if you were Atlas
The days slip away as do the words
Like a toy soldier your smile is painted on
Feeling so very alone
Giving everything up for a through of the dice
Has your luck run out, or just begun
The buzzing of a miilion ideas will not disapear
A balancing act with out a wire commences
Not finding your balance, even though solid ground is beneath you
The ravens words echo inside
You realize this to be true
The love that you once held so high
Will be nevermore
Though these happenings occur
It still feels like a movie and everything will work out
Praying that this dream is true
The planes engines begin to rev
Your eyes become wide
Everything crashes down like a house of cards
You know those faces you leave behind will never be the same

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

You mispelled "Emotions" on the top of the page.  Poems like this are flat dry and feel dead in a material reality.  Maybe its just the manor in whicn its perceived.

Giving everything up for a throw of the dice ...

Sometimes when situations stagnate this can be an act of courage.

You wonder and make the reader wonder too.

Love,
