How Desperate the Moment

How Desperate the Moment How desperate the moment Or so I feel I yearn to know What cost me, this silence I sit alone A keyboard stroke Ever so distant And not so far My mind it creases Folds in time A request made mentioned Heard and not heeded I catapult my thoughts In new dimensions Fantasy’s solace Reality’s scar I tremble within A galaxy ripped Doors stuck open A promise kept A trust held tightly But toyed with loosely A jovial gesture A jaded anger Oh, the great cost of these moments, now shared The desire for smiles almost forgotten Woe the emotions caught in the moil Dangerous the dreams caught in the middle To tell or say, to write or bay To confess and shout or cry aloud Whether it matter? The bourdon be shared? Cursed be to the lust that burns Ignorance to the love inside Thoughts and feelings, what use have they When logic and reason cannot explain them away How desperate the moment Or so I feel Yearning to know Should I pay this cost? A memory riddled with guilt and shame in a moment of trial I castrated myself with fear a temper lost not withheld an understanding needed instead trampled over a love so pure only a fool could know a freindship so rich it is worth heaven's price a soul cast to darkness a figure in time a mind cast to the shadows the light inside to dim to shine This is a poem I wrote... mostly for S&G... if you'd like to view others written by me please feel free to view them on Poems-and-Quotes.com.
