A Poem of Dedication

Dark hazel eyes unsure of what is to come
In uncertain and sanguine expectancy
Viewing the current situation as cumbersome
Yet find that in her heart she has a vacancy
Black hair a touch frazzled and frayed
Straightforward with authentic virtues
She realizes she cannot let this fade
So with a slightly indecisive purview
With eagerness and insomniac nights
She longingly yearns for the response
Perhaps he might readjust his sights
That the affair might be ensconced
That failure might be an alternative
All too unreasonable for both parties
Imminent success is a virtual imperative
With the necessity to proceed smartly
Moving in precipitance being risky
A deceleration could be warranted
Why travel the billows so quickly
And journey to the abhorrent abyss
Whereby the blunders of the past
Come back to haunt like apparitions?
The consequences of advancing too fast
Could cause unsafe conditions
Perhaps her demeanor is newfangled
As are the ideas in his brain
Perhaps this woven-web will be less tangled

And she and he are actually sane

Near to Something That Actually Exists

Streets lit, glowing lamps shining bright
In uncharted territory now
It seems the end is not within sight
So I don’t know if I’m going down
And with her black hair waving I ask
With a giant smile, “Missy, where too?”
“I don’t know, but I cannot look back
And I need to explain this to you

My life has been turned upside down
With my head buried underground
All my life I searched for this
But it just left me filled with emptiness
So I climbed in this car for warmth
And now my heart is again torn
So excuse me while I make you feel
Like you were ‘this close’ to something real"

I pulled over to the curbside
Putting it in park, I spoke my mind
“I don’t need one in whom to confide
Believe it or not, I was just fine”
Her nerves regressed and she gave a smile
And decided to ask me to date
I said, “I guess it’s been a while”
Maybe it was luck or maybe fate

My life had been turned upside down
With my head buried underground
All my life I searched for this
But it just left me filled with emptiness
So I climbed in this car for warmth
And now my heart was again torn
So excuse me while you make me feel
Like I was ‘this close’ to something real

As we traveled down the street
There was a sign marked “Dead End”
Seeing the journey was complete
We decided not to pretend
The façade that became of it all
Faded as fast as possible
As we opened the doors to both withdraw
We were in a car that we thought was nautical
But thankfully we read the writing on the wall

Our lives have been turned upside down
With our heads buried underground
All our lives we searched for this
But it just left us filled with emptiness
So we climbed out of this car for warmth
But now our hearts aren’t again torn
So excuse us while we can still feel
Like you we’re this close to something real
