I watched it all disappear, the lines in his face no longer smiling, the weight upon his shoulders sagging his strength. I watched the seriousness of the times navigate his body and the wickedness of thought rise from mine. I felt the softness slough off, its coat now threadbare, a complete stranger rambling on as I sealed his fate with a kiss of doom. I let shattered dreams rupture a heart that once held pieces of me, word puzzles that never quite fit to completion. I hadn't the courage, the resolution to turn away from an imperfect world, shaping everything into betrayal, put into my place by a silent awakening. The untold still aches, fear stands behind my shadow, tomorrow holds the unknown and I am watching time steal the promises of the night. I am weak, my footing undermined, the why and wherefores lacking reasoning, pleas go unheeded and my dancing has slowed. I escape into the morning light, lifted temporarily beyond the boundaries, lines forgiven as I lose myself in the passion of words. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

~M~ This is so well written, you captured what many have experienced. I especially liked the second half of the poem, tho. beginning was a perfect description of life leading to betrayal. But, the second half, sorry can't remember exact line, really is so heart touching. I think this is one of your best, tho. it'd be hard to pick. Hugs, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |
