WALKING THE SAME OF THE TWO

Folder: 
JOURNAL#10

a passionate interlude

like that of a mental afterthought

every even tiny nerve ending

clambers for sight

if only such glasses for them could indeed be bought

a sad reproduction of a momentary lapse in unnecessary

reserve

fulfilling one gentleman's fantasy

burderns the muddled mind with unflinching desire

to just quietly observe

photographic day dreams slide all the more downwards

in a spiral of before unequaled daze

underlining the very importance for say the inquiry

of just what end price will I alone one day have to pay

for the pleasure of simply peering into such a glittering

fire like blue, gray gaze

very little?

perhaps too much or not a single shard of abused pride

at all

the pending up-hill-down-hill-trek will unlikely prove itself

to be a worthy opponent to love's all too descriptive immortal law

while a street of unmentioned previous meetings runs parallel to

that of the acceptable norm

thunder in the blinded heart strikes almost painfully back  in its fast

dwindling attempt to merely for warn

up ahead at the cross roads of one couple's cruelty

we will one day come to

I alone, in my chilling blood can only hope that we

will inevitably walk the same of the two.........

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this passionate poem was inspired by of all things a series of Harlequin romance novels written about 5 brothers by a woman named Lass Small. I of course was hot for that oldest brother.
