PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

burning at the back of my mind

is the flame of guarded intent

yet, just upon what

I am not so sure nor certain

perhaps forever

but perhaps not

all I know is what it is that I do not know

which is everything

and nothing

all at once

climbing a top the peak of such dilemma and

straddling life's small but indifferent reality

I am faced with little else but my own fretted fear

and gasping hope

both gaining edge force momentum

ready to fight over me at every turn for a chance

to win in the hand of love's sweet freedom

freedom to feel

freedom to touch and drink with my thirsted eyes

of the one whose mouth and love I covet so

freedom to breathe in to my damaged lungs deeply

the scent of my lover's challenge

to think of leaving this only home I've ever truly

known

'Leave It Not Now But Soon!'

cries the near desperate voice from within

for one day his will be the only one I wish to ever

make haste to return to

the only one I will ever care to have and keep

our beloved home, so filled with love and bursting

with 'The Forever Kind Of Promise'

wait, my darling love, for I'll only be

but a moment longer.......................
