THE ENDLESS SAME

Folder: 
JOURNAL #20

rearing up from the lingering mist

fleetingly shimmers

a most memorable experience

sweet yet bitter infliction

suffer no jest

for you are but an all too attractive

addiction in the flesh

and true addicts for the most part

as you know are unable to anti themselves

up to such telling claim

unlucky contributors that they are

(poor sods!)

ah, but I do so thrive best when thoroughly

amid your winner takes all game

why, I've played it nearly all my life

though the wounded braiding that pauses

for such sexual stirrings shared

taunts us all the better in our

undisclosed fears

all quivering and a muck

I ask none too bravely

was it all for me and my fertile

imagination's fair or would you confess

owning rights to 'The Endless Same'

or rather any other willing participant

who volunteered

such scattered scars upon the soul

to you alone I so selflessly bared

as my flagrant naivety

blew off your shocking confessions

with little time or inclination to spare

such depth out of focus is quite difficult

to attain

ah, but for it to be mutual

why that is practically unheard of

in such magnificent mind I've found

a true to the moment friend

in whose heart

a deep abiding spiritual love I thought

I'd lost for my fellow man

and yet alas I was wrong

I am capable of locating my own kind

so thank you I think

as so very terribly enchanted indeed

too, too often becomes the bitter brink

madness

love's own self made potions for those

absolute beginners

we've stolen for ourselves

a myth you know..............
