Poem Title:
Poem
The first drop, and each one after, merge in a cluster of blissful storms Flourescent dreams lie in wait for every rising degree of fervour Scattered sunshine ceases to blind compelling faith Smiles prosper like figs And the unremitting truth is rooted to the same spot Artless passions meet like tributaries Conjuring reason from a mingled need, In innocent worlds, unspoken wishes reside First, in natural harmony with denial and pride Then growing ever restless at every count of our heartbeats And the unsettling truth that “together” may sound so sweet, Like rivers, fate is a natural flow But unlike rivers, we insist we know That together, we want a place in the sun, while rivers simply flow into one The mind carves itself an endless wonder, Than despair in splitting emotions like hair Every thought, bringing contentment near Like the inevitable meeting of rivers, Joining all split emotions in us The notion stands two feet from a choking relief At the ultimate guile to slip away and firmly believe That the flimsy cravings of a juvenile conquest Offer little comfort for a sincere request That I must gather the courage to say what I should And turn away from distracting prophesies when no ending could make me feel like she would Questions and answers fade into sincerity but time commutes to foe We count flakes in the early snow And discard intimate petals from budding promises Dreams are now separated by endless seas The resounding waves drowning all screams of despair A gaze back through time or an aimless flow further Cast all unwavering glances wide of a withering star The once prosperous smiles now stretch agonizingly into grimaces Sunsets turn from gold to grey And only mornings still the wailing din inside Comfort swerves abruptly beyond definition Every second word is silent Emerging only in poetry Hardened hearts fend blindly for themselves while minds feverishly stunt distant rapture We lose the man in the moon Heart shapes twist into mangled triangles Fear accompanies love… and all visions of the promise
