Undefined Passion

Many nights I shared passion they believed to be forever,
In the way “Love” comforts then betrays the heart;
Imagine experiencing such an existential dilemma
While sands of time embed in cracks of hands
Forming canals of chartreuse lies and auburn dreams,
Washing away innocence and desire
From the hearts and minds of sinners and lovers---
Double talk from a surreal being I mirror myself to be,
Wandering the mystic realms of fairytales
Where the hero gets the pretty girl
And the last lines read “Happily Ever After”…
But only when commitment is finally understood
And the bond between lust and happiness is broken,
Because in reality, one does and does not need the other,
To hear a pause between breaths
To feel a sigh between heartbeats
To reminisce before a kiss
To love unconditionally before passion…

Marcel

Outstanding...
There is a perfect agony in the discovery, and what ecstasy in the release.

Keith,

the last line wraps up the poem beautifully,
because if there is no unconditional,
then there was nothing at first
glance.

Well done...thank you.

To some forever means until this moment is gone...because perhaps the next moment they will feel differently...James
