Vow to release the old, rigid ways
They hinder each step of the journey.
Open to options, to love and forays
Don’t let judgment inhibit the glory.
Eyes wide open
See what is real
Eternal, soul-building, enduring.
Consider, think, choose
How to fit in those scenes
Witness? Player?
Defensive?
Alluring?
Then open up.
Prepared
For the ride of your life.

I dreamed of you
So vividly
Before you breathed life here.
You came to me with firm belief
That you were mine, so dear.
When morning came, I lucidly
Considered your request,
And changed up my life’s plan
Right there,
Upon your righteousness.
Once committed, I prepared
To have you in my life,
Proceeding forth to welcome you
No fear, no doubt, no strife.
When you arrived,
Beloved!
I knew that we’d been right.
We salvaged joy, began new worlds,
Thanks to that fateful night.

As he teetered on the brink
Of this existence
Did he quantify success
Based on
Fast cars and hot women?
~
Any regrets?
~
Did the futile search
For his ideal
Cause concern?
~
Did he measure his own value
In the manner of the world:
Dollars
Cents
Titles
Rents,
And feel remorse?
~
Or did he say,
“Hot Damn!
This was one wild ride!
I’m so flippin’ glad
I lived large ’til I died!”

It did not occur to me
That you might take your leave.
~
You
Not being here
Was never
A part
Of my tidy, well-made plan.
~
But time
Does weather
~Age~
All things
~
And that once tidy plan
Now lays ragged and worn.
~
The frail threads
Making up
The fabric of our love
Can no longer hold it together.
~
Nor can I.

Regarding LOVE. Words from Wikipedia:
“Studies have shown that brain scans of those infatuated by love display a resemblance to those with a mental illness. Love creates activity in the same area of the brain where hunger, thirst, and drug cravings create activity. New love, therefore, could possibly be more physical than emotional.”
Ha!
That explains it.
The Heartache.
Did we not break through?
To intimacy?
I loved you.
Crazy love, mad love, heart-racing glad love.
Smiling at the thought of you.
Butterflies when a text came through.
Sweet goodnights, raucous hellos,
Attraction, passion, bedfellows.
Reckless abandon, a jangle of words.
And limbs
And whims
And nerves.
Fear stepped in.
The end.
I loved you.
I thought you loved me too.
Was it true?
…
Coward!
