Love's Possibilities
Once again tears of confusion blind my vision
As I stand at the crossroads of my indecision
Which road to take?
Which way to go?
You’d think after all these years I’d already know
Should I hug the curves of familiarity?
Or free fall into a dimension of uncertainty?
My mind and body are weary
My disposition; dreary
Why? Why can’t I learn?
If you play with fire, why be surprised at a burn?
But this flame is so seductive, so captivating and new
My 3rd degree burns show once again how I played the fool
It delights and excites
It blinds and smothers
It reveals and covers
It has neither rhyme nor reason
It can find you at any time; during any season
It’s a dizzying light headed sensation, that leaves the mind reeling
It’s a complicated labyrinth of contradictory feelings
So why do I continue to be drawn by this siren’s call?
Will I gain everything from my experience or nothing at all?
You can fight it, push it or stall
But eventually you too will take the fall
So once again I stand at the crossroads of pain and pleasure
At the crossroads of an unbearably cruel reality and my outlandish fantasies
As I inhale deeply, the winds of change sweep me off my feet
Into the unknown void of unimaginable possibilities
