Dandelion Dances
a moonless night mingled
my love of mystery with
the bitterness of mundane
wherein 2am’s ambiguity
rushed days by me
like a speeding locomotive
headed towards an
undisclosed destination
that only I wasn’t privy to
slipping my life
through the threads of time
quickly and carefree
a sudden disappearance
that panicked my heart
within the realization
that our moments of kismet fortune
are truly numbered
and the plethora of “what ifs”
that have always brightened my days
with hopes and dreams
are now too dwindling
and here upon today’s backdrop
looms a certainty that rains my heart
with the reality of time’s truth
and I can’t help but wonder
what happened to those simpler days
wherein an eternity could be spent
lost in the innocence of warm, lazy days
given to dandelion dances
when the hues of my palate were endless
and my brush never ceased
to paint passions true intent
but always there hidden somewhere
beneath a shroud of zealous amore
where whispered love things reside
held tender with baited breath
has been a lovers contingency
silently waiting to be set into motion
yet still we linger
wandering the borders of happiness
with caution and gallantry
denying our hearts desires
for the sake of the cause
sighing dreams and pondering truths
cursing serendipity and circumstance
for their parts too
