he believes if he discovers
that one, life will
have meant something
as if that something exists,
he abides in a misconception
dreaming of absolutes
that fullfill desires,
blinded by taboos and reason
he doesn't realize lying quims
and illicit hearts conjure
circumstance resulting in agony
if and only if,
bound and determined
he inserts a lover's name
when she trembles involuntary
when he sinks into the color
of consensual eyes,
avoiding the hassel he's remains
paralyzed
denying the obvious

he is the one to blame

and don't we all...

very thought-provoking piece...I'm finding more and more that we all DO tend to distract ourselves from the real issue with sad substitions...enjoyed this much. I love the thought behinds this.

Serenity, thank you very much for reading,
and your responses.

yes often we deny the obvious, and blame
others for our lack of, when really it's up to us to create our happiness.

Atov....Your poem packs a powerful punch. We do indeed tend to blame others or blame our circumstances for not bringing us happiness. This poem speaks the absolute truth...we must make our own happiness and, perhaps, find the joy of another heart to match our own.  Liked this poem very much.  ***Ivy Rose
