Delineated Desire

So, I went to this place, where everyone had a familiar face But at the moment of connection, I experienced an abrupt correction So, I turned and walked away Oh, they smiled and played, til I got in their way They grimaced at my informed premise That LOVE was welcome to stay ....in a room I moved with a glide, to see all the people inside A reality of familiar lies, that the majority buys With ease and great pleasure Every time I drew near to intently hear Reason, no matter what growth season I longed to know and treasure ...LOVE was pushed out of the room But I came to the final straw, when spring arrived to thaw Coagulated desire, that only needed a roaring fire To rekindled my "old ways" lack After I tried to engage, on an uncomfortable stage I moved to privacy with covers, to lay down with my lovers But saw a rat, and took a step back ...to see my people From the bottom of my soul, a cry out, healed the hole Created by half-baked lies, offered to divide Self from acceptable practice A bright light shone through, the space between belief and do Revealing framed gaps, where injured chaps Walked thin wooden lattice ....to avoid linear people NO, logic is no friend, to those who choose to bend Obvious truth to color and suit The agenda of every climbing member Don't they know that height will never make right The lazy desire they've accept just to avoid being rejected By the majority that will maim and dismember ....the people at the top The fall is greater from the top...and oh, how the mighty have fallen Written by Trudy Schrader on 03-07-2019
