Let us go – <br />Not unto the wilderness <br />Or to climb interminability, <br />But on towards the overgrown paths <br />Of random drifts <br />Burning blood that courses thro’ our minds <br /> <br />Perhaps we’ll up and leave atop a cumulus <br />Ha! The fading dawn of lies <br />Betrays the dinosaurian happiness – <br />Yes, we bloomed upon a time <br />Rolling out our possibilities, <br />Naivety the undertones <br /> <br />And as we fall – <br />No need for us to shy away from images <br />Of nakedness caressing inner tones of skin <br />Atop your sheets, calculating rhythms <br />For the climax, coming for the come – <br />You can’t deny <br />We were; <br /> <br />Pray! rejoice the times <br />We bore the senselessness <br />Of circumstantial romance <br />In readiness for marriage in our dreams <br /> <br />Do not fade in curses, <br />Greys, <br />Or any other asymptotes, <br />For I loved you, <br />I truly <br />Did, <br />Do – <br />And ever shall your searching eyes, <br />Limpid in reflection <br /> <br />We fools, <br />Rejected by our fate, <br />Struggle on <br /> <br />But worry not, <br />I have a song <br /> <br />Copyright © Mark R Slaughter 2014<br /><br />Mark R Slaughter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fools-15/
