Distortions of Forever

Forever...
One word in blissful simplicity...
Conveys meanings of a thousand instances.

Forever...
Leads another to a world full of possibilities...
Where chances are escaped.

Forever...
Collides feverishly into the heart of many...
While penetrating the dead ends of finality.

Forever...
Offers a glimmer of hope in a distant never ending...
Filled with laughter and love.

Forever...
Is meaningless in its approach...
Fulfilling in its delivery.

Forever...
Captures the memory of the past...
Stumbling upon the gleeful memory of the future.

Forever...
Is where I thought we would begin...
And never end.

Until Then...

Closing a door...
Opening a door...
Only to find...
When one door closes...
Another doesn't always open.


Inspiration is flooded...
Flowing freely in the sea...
Sea of knowledge...
To know what is wrong...
But not enough to have the strength to flee it.


Thoughts rumble in the cabin...
Flashing memories of the gleeful times...
Crashing memories of the morose times...
Colliding somewhere in the middle...
Only to fall gracefully into the depths of the night.


Struggling to continue...
Continue on the path...
Path of not knowing...
Knowing when darkness will bring light...
When light will bring laughter.


Until then...
My heart skips a beat...
At the memory of you...
At the memory of us...
At the memory of what could have been.

Tilted Reality

I saw you...
From a distance.

I felt you...
From afar.

I loved you...
When nearby.

I craved you...
In my heart.

I lusted you...
In my dreams.

I captured you...
In my reality.
