We dance in tandem and see <br />We're out of sync - together/apart <br />As we engage in these endless <br />Exercises in futility <br /> <br />Timing, the discrepancy, <br />Our spirits colliding from the start <br />With a force that enmeshes us <br />In profound joy, pleasure and beauty <br /> <br />Reeling from impact, only <br />To feel pain from being ripped apart <br />Disoriented, helpless - senseless <br />Exercises in futility <br /> <br />I feel you cry out to me <br />And it tears at remnants of my heart <br />For my desire matches yours <br />In power, depth and intensity <br /> <br />We seek each other desperately <br />To claim our hearts from collage-like art <br />As we strive to end these endless <br />Exercises in futility <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1995<br /><br />Alice Vedral Rivera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/endless-exercises-in-futility/
