love trek

Post by saw » September 13th, 2010, 6:36 am

her chasm of denial

unspanable
a divide so vast
one would need to
know how to fly
which I didn't yet

to reach the town
of Verisimilitude,
of course I knew
this village was
likely a myth..... in any case

it never stopped me
descending the sheer
canyon walls forgetting
time after time
eventually I would

have to climb back up
to where I started
clinging to roots and crevices
all the way back to the top
cursing all the while

at my willingness
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

He hungered for love as a beggar for food
and climbed to its summit till turtledoves cooed,
yet when he was there
he threw up in dispair
with love lost to sickness at high
al-ti-tude.

yes, sometimes one would have to fly
when the usual footpaths are found
lacking, or slow, or impassable...

nice.
