Poems
Illusion?
Moving between light and shadow
Where we have always been.
I long
for a refutation of sighs,
and the depth of your eyes
Speak
To me with unforked tongue
ironically
In the language of love.
A world in which I can trust.
Or experience unbearable betrayal;
The choice is yours.
I know I've never ever meant to harm you.
This I hope you know
while you stand in the dusk,
My back against the wall:
You stall the truth with indecision
so indirect it seems beguiling.
I feel overcome
The need to hold you,
The urge to scold you
for your disregard of general principles
known to all except you,
apparently
Contradictions abound.
There's a boat you've missed,
This you may some day rue.
Yet there is no way I can diss
All you mean to me.
I stand upon my shore of dreams
As you speed towards the straits
To a home far away from me,
Claiming allegiance to illusions
That have always been between us.
But you decide which is right.
God speed.
