Just For A While A momentary lapse high on a breeze of freshness air cooled, yet warm lips to keep me from falling short of memories that echo in a head pounding now... faraway thoughts needed to sword reality to stab the pains, to open the wounds to a healing stage. With just a sliver of moon to greet me, what do I have to lose, I ask this in darkness before the morning rises and blesses me with friendships to window my eyes with choice, massage my neck with hands of memory releasing the tension that plays my body's burden. I dreamt anxiety, featuring deadlines, a tug of war syndrome, every thought shelled, blitzing me with tomorrow's campaign leaving me exhausted, spent when the hours before should have given rise to a peaceful sleep. It's an empty field I walk, wanting that hand to hold, to feel life, to fill the loneliness, to fill the lack of, to leisure me in pleasure just for a while... to stroll in your pace, long strides to step over these days ahead. Can you feel my apprehension? How hard it is to trust my words not to deceive me? How I must masquerade, disguise my fear to even you? I am just window-dressing and not even doing that well as my words spoken are concealed in fear, afraid of misunderstandings, afraid those wrinkles of worry will age me beyond recognition and leave me to walk that field alone. Just for a while, I embraced the sight of you relaxed the worry, in need to share the existence only of someone else, with no regrets, just time and long strides, to lift the weight to distance me from tomorrow's bridge. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |
