Dancing Within The Shadows (Off the Wall)

Dreamt I met you for the first time
my instinct should have been
but my curiosity took me there.

Black and teal covered me
even though eyes scaled the shades
and penetrated deeper
into the warmth of me.

I struggled for composure,
untitled my feelings
and carried them
returning miles
from the thought of you.

You had danced your words
and I had been puppeted,
something new to me.

But then, I was a petal, you were a thorn
and caught me hanging there...
it was a re quest over and over...
what seemed like fate had been forced,
the Gods having lost control
and my eyes blending you
into poetic words to covet me
far beyond time's need.

Each move locked me
into the burden of you
tangled in your weavings
edged to fall, the consequences of
a glimpse of love, tarnished
by emptiness, prayers never answered,
and time wearing thin.

You were my field of dreams
but darkness followed, I could not
change your world
nor you mine, no matter how selfish
my promises.

I will always be haunted
by the lingering thoughts
pained by the inevitable,
a wallflowered mistake
chosen by empty arms
to dance within the shadows...
of you.

**yes, a bit off the wall today...squeezing in the thoughts before they leave me this weekend~~~

perhaps then it is time to stop struggling and see if the ropes that bind do not fall free of themselves..

A good way to get rid of dark thoughts is to write them down....you do so with such style that they reflect light within shadow....Now the brightness which is you can shine forth for the weekend....Stunning...
