we must make choices
it's the natural order of things
but what if you can't . . .
I have used up all my love
years ago
told you there was no such thing as love
I told you once, thrice
times
you have proven me wrong
I'm over my head in love with you
you love me back
with dire complications
dirtying up the viewfinder
maybe I can see better
if I close my eyes
no
that won't help
closing my eyes to what we have wrought
eh, we are but flesh
yes, but there is a spiritual element at play here
borne not of flesh
but of cosmic shooting stars
we ride on the comet's tail
whiplash sometimes
stuns us into submission
blinding us of reality and/or fantasy
unable to articulate to the other
the true meaning
of what the comet is telling us
as the dark consumes

"unable to articulate to the other

You are wrong, Jerry
Your poem proves that you can articulate
the comets true meaning.

It tells its meaning through your words...:-)

Ah yes, there you go again.  Yo make
it seem so easy to express your
feelings in many different ways, this is
the proof of it!
Enjoyed the read and the flight
of the comet.
