a living paradox

I breach the surface of my dreams

…for a momentary pause

Lean froth to kiss your lips,

You move aside …yes, you are cross

I have not been giving what you asked …on time

Despite the creeping doubt

…you may not achieve your goal

I reach inside myself

 …to give you the best I can

Wrapped around my heart and soul

…the truest nature of my inner man

Not just the mists and vapors

…hoping you might understand

Yet you persist to believe

…not willing to accept a loss

To break the silence of my thoughts

…abruptly shaken

By a living paradox

As I watch a slow motion ballet

…of a bird in flight

What I’d gladly give up

As all the fortunes I’d ever hoped to gain

Lost time and again

From the ashes of defeat

…as I begin to rise

What I need most of you tonight

…I could lose it all based on a whim

Fighting battles I cannot ever seem to win

…why should I ever take this chance

A steady stream of echoes issues forth

As notions dance about me of the cost

As I gaze deeply in your eyes, noting

You’ve crossed the threshold of my being

No longer unsure of my course

…my choice to be with you is not a loss

With our competitive gestures giving way

…To performing as a team

A prelude to romance, endless extended

…or is it all , just a crazy dream

In feverish feelings flowing eternally

Rocking back and forth between us

A truth I cannot disguise from you

…of what you really want to know

Does this spark of love

Have the possibility

To grow into forever

If so, feed me

With

your starlight

glow

Tonight…

Let us be together

Don’t say no
