PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Pt 1.

Sometimes I visualize something I love

Not as often as I used to

But sometimes

All I know is that it is a yearning

That seems a lost cause

A battle I've had to deal with before

It is a yearning behind the trials

Of daily life

Another item on the shelf

And though I yearn for this

I've also become ambivalent

And that might be scarier

And deeper than wanting

Without recieving.

Pt 2.

Spare me pictures of love

A man and a woman intertwined

Always so handsome and beautiful

Always a reminder of what I don't have

It is strange to have sprung myself

From a love-less cage

Only to find myself in a cage of love

Without us intertwined.

Pt 3.

It isn't loneliness that engulfs me

It is the tightly woven envelope

That conceals me

The space between togetherness

The emptiness between contentment

As though we are merely standing...

Pt 4.

What is that fluid dance again

The kind that leaves a tremble

And is not halted throughout

What is that craving, that essence

Where is the want

What has become of it truly

For I feel so dry and actionless

I do not know how to get mine back

What it would take to free me

From this now neutral place.
