Afterthought of Regret
I am eager for my voice to transcend space
And find the comforting haven of your ear
I am eager to dissolve
The space between there and here
Your body; rolling white hills and an ivory mind
Your soul; a wish to eagerly find
Staring into your eyes; jewels of thought
Revealing a land; an ocean Devine
Those very depths, as they would quench this flame
Yet I am incomplete; with unfinished frame
Where complexity, indecision and confusion reign
How will I see the day when you and I are the same?
So I bow my head to the afterthought of regret
And my voice traverses no physical plane
If it does, it does so in error and vain
And the transient of you passes me by once again
Yet I simply cannot forget
You’ve already burned into my memory
Cut through my psyche
Every picture of you forever inside me
Eventually Ill scream inside
Trying to unfasten the hooks
You unwillingly, unwittingly, and unsparingly
Thrust in to my mortal fiber; broken the atrium door
Yelling childish reluctancies
Progressively adultish redundancies
Thinking they will resonate and relieve me,
Reverberate for a period of time within me
Then your face in front of mine…
I cannot deny these hooks their residence
From such a being with her inconceivable beauty
Ripping these hooks out would surely kill me
