As I sit here deep in thought, <br />Retracing the path of yesterdays <br />When first this journey began, <br />Still in its infancy.... <br /> <br />Eager to explore each others' mind <br />From every possible perspective, <br />Every wonderful, unknown mystery <br />Unfolding breathlessly, <br /> <br />I couldn't get enough of you - <br />Wanting to taste your every thought, <br />Devour each beat of your heart <br />Savoring your newness; <br /> <br />Transformed by the strength of your power <br />To lift me in spirit, in soul, <br />Enriched by the grace of your knowing - <br />All of my senses so alive; <br /> <br />And in my greed, I smothered you - <br />Ingested your very identity <br />And made it a part of myself, <br />Oblivious to your needs, <br /> <br />And now the excitement has vanished, <br />Along with your passion, your wonder, <br />Leaving me empty and starving <br />For the very essence of you; <br /> <br />And with excitement's demise <br />Spontaneity moves into obligation - <br />The albatross of regret, of indifference <br />Eclipsing our fragile sun. <br /> <br /> <br />11/12/2009<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/second-thoughts-7/
