Lovely poem … inspiring blog. Definitely worth checking out. Got me started on poetry
~*~
~*~
As if from nowhere…
Suddenly you were there…
You knew me, better than I knew myself…
I recognized you even though you were unknown…
Intoxicating inception…
~*~
Soft sensuous whispers of promising adventures to come…
Laughter…joy…peace…trust…
Excited anticipation to know and be known again…
Seduction by words…
~*~
Reality comes crashing in…
Doubt…fear…uncertainty…
This can not be real…
You are my imagination’s foolish figment…
I realize the truth…
You can not be here….
This can not be real…
~*~
The mind rationalizes the irrational, to protect itself…
Dichotomy in a dream…
~*~
Dare I risk tempestuous temptation?
What if…
A whole plethora of what if’s…
~*~
If I want to live…
If I want to truly experience life…
Then I must accept the terrifying risk…
That when I awake from this desirous dream…
You…disappear…
