Poem # 21

Crossroad

if I could simply press on
Such splendid impulses
nothing could surpass
the raw hunger buried, protesting
In me, along with weakness
If I could tell it's wrong
covering up, look away, think twice
If only I could write the contract
so much never was told
Who deserves my heart
Nowhere to be seen
Who listens to her soul
Yearning for never felt pleasure
and romanticized contact
Would I act to be discovered
If I could stay protected

Letter to Lost Half

One Last thing before I go

Remind me to remember you

Ask me to never look back

One gets lost

if one stays on track

Are you true

Are you mine
With whom do I contend
surely you placed me
in this predicament
Should you be my alibi
If you claim to be
my only guiding light
