"fantasies and Obsessions"

Intolerable inexperience instilled in indifference,
Suddenly shifting. Such subtle shame,
For fallen fantasies, failing fictional fallacies.
Every exception exceeding expectancies,
Never neglecting notable necessities. 
Coming completely closed,
Removing reality, reflecting rational reduction.
Perfect possibilities pass presently,
Abandoning avarice and addiction,
When we waver with weakness.
Our options, overt obsessions,
Dampen dreams, destroy desires,
Verify vendettas, vilify victories.
We will willingly wait,
Rise, reach, regrow.

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Evan. I will not be reading poetry for a few days as I will be gone from Friday until Monday. I look forward to reading more of your poetry when I return. I wish you a weekend filled with good health, love, and loads of inspiration. Love and Blessings, Carol
