How Could We?




How Could We

I desired to unravel the mystery of you
along with other forbidden thoughts unspoken at the moment,
could we have tasted that almost unattainable fire
stepped into the flame and survived
known by those who enjoy and bespeak

Had I met you before those watershed events
what would our legend be?
Before your life treasures and possessions had consequence
could we have made it to this day

the promise awaits, still
sweeping along midnight's hushed wishes
yet, how could you abandon your now
relinquish all ties
renounce all commitments
surrender to me, alone
impossible

yet, impossible is all I hear
unreasonable attempted disasters,
complex
vexation's delight
double cross where none should exist
debilitate the obvious,
emotional molester with a twist...

Dream Lands




maybe we didn't have to end up like this
hopelessly waiting on opposite ends
maybe if we gotten past the unbroken bridge
or crossed over the landing
we'd see

the agony of the ecstacy
leads from within
screaming for another attempt,
but why

strolling among yesterday's scenes
we stumble,
unable to discern
between those from another time
and this day
left back against some distant hillside
along side a forgotten road

we hiccup,
suddenly aware
it's cold out here and the weather is quite dreary
where did the sunshine run to
where are those singing birds in spring?
did we forget it's still winter

the hypothetical looks most attractive now
leading in points next to reality,
placing a distant third

we loved and laughed or thought we did
the lies were smaller then
now, the landscape lies bittersweet
between fruitcakes and marmalade ...
