A Living paradox

As i
breach the surface
of my dreams

for a momentary
pause

Lean froth
to kiss your lips,

You
move aside

Yes
you are cross

i have not been giving
what you asked

on time

Despite
the creeping doubt

you may not achieve
your goal

i reach inside myself
to give the best i can

Wrapped around
my heart and soul

the truest nature
of my inner man

Not just
the mists and vapors

hoping you
might understand


Yet
you persist
to believe in me

not willing
to accept a loss

while i flounder in the wake
of greater things

afraid

To break the silence
of my thoughts


abruptly
shaken

By
a living paradox

As i watch a slow motion ballet
of a bird in flight

What i’d gladly
give up

As all the fortunes
i’d ever hoped to gain

Lost time and again
From the ashes of defeat

as i begin to rise

What i need most
of you tonight

i could lose it all
based on a whim

Fighting battles
i cannot ever seem to win

why should i ever
take this chance

A steady stream
of echoes issues forth

As notions dance about me
of the cost

As i gaze deeply
in your eyes,

noting You’ve crossed
the threshold of my being

No longer
unsure of my course

my choice to be with you
is not a loss

With our competitive gestures
giving way To performing as a team

A prelude to romance
Endless extended

or is it all Just a crazy dream
In feverish feelings flowing eternally

Rocking back and forth between us
A truth i cannot disguise from you

Of what you really want to know
Does this spark of love

Have the possibility
To grow into forever

If so
Feed me

With
your starlight glow

Tonight

Let us be together

Don’t say

no
