Houston commercial photography

I teeter at this moment
between wanting to touch you
and just walking past by you
not looking back, forget you.

A blanket of cloud hovers
even the sky now teeters
between spreading light to all
or shrouding the earth in dark.

Often I love to linger
choosing quiet solitude
then suddenly I worry
that loneliness might catch me.

I live my life in extremes
blurring emotions into
unclear hues of loves and hates
mirror collage to taunt me.

Oh, I can absolutely understand this . . .
quote:
blurring emotions into
unclear hues of loves and hates
. . . because I have been doing the same most, if not all, of my existence . . .Yep, these two lines grabbed me.
