Elusive
Hesitation persists
Glazed over hurts, trying to push on
Turn a new page
Eyes open to possibilities uncharted
Waters unsure
But one thing remains
LOVE!
Let it shine through
Radiating in all directions for all to see
Still holding close to the vest
Scared to let go and fully embrace possible hurt
But I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all
Come back to me
Sooner than later
Love like long walks and cups of tea
Meant to be enjoyed and cherished at a languid summer pace
Idyllic moments still cross my mind
Then dissipate into thin, curly q’ wisps
Like honey, long since dried…leaving its residual terrain to be traversed
Finding grooves long since forgotten, dormant and cool to the touch
Oh how to ignite the once scorching hot flame
Dancing chemical foreplay lights up the waning darkness
Luminescent glow forges ahead
Breaking visual boundaries
Knocking down silent barriers along the way
All crystallized in the interplay between my cones and rods
The riddle of perspective rages on…
