Fanciful Meanderings
Memories of illogical unreality saunter past my mind,
Planning expectations of a future with no feelings,
Deja vu days multiply with an intensity so unkind,
Happiness is eroded by endless waves of lapping sadness,
I fall weightlessly to the bottom of life's end,
Regrets dashed upon ragged rock thoughts that scream to confess,
My childhood laughter flows tears of wishful pretend,
As I wait helplessly at the back door of destiny,
Sharing Earth with billions I will never meet,
A poet joining lonely words into meanings of complexity,
I wander through imagination hoping to land on my feet.

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."
