fate
by tom
Fate's good fortune caused you to cross my path. Circumstances and situations that fate laid out, allowed your crossing to be more than a momentary flash. Your Personality and unique being, etched in my memory an impression that will forever, withstand time's endless march forward. Touched in ways that leave heart beats shaken. Shaken to an awakening of emotion that had for so long remained in me like the silent volcano yearning to erupt. New meanings suddenly revealed themselves to me in what life could be or become.
Questions I've ask countless times while alone in the silent darkness of night, I've pondered without the outside world's ridicule. The sensation of having your hand in mine.....the aroma of your hair..........the degree of softness of your skin and what a simple tender touch might reveal.........Would a search into the depth of your eyes lead me to your heart and soul.......... when or if I might ever see your smile again and its ability to warm this lonely heart........?Yet in this darkness without you here, these questions I ponder always remain those things that shall remain unknown.
Left here with only the black cover of night, my dreams call out to me now with all its empty promises, which my eyes all to easily agree to. Slowly I follow the promise of my dreams and begin my journey from this fleeting conscientious to a state of sub-conciseness. Will my dreams reward me and allow you to come to me? Or will tomorrow's sunrise be the harsh reminder, that dreams fuel hope but the sun's morning rising will be the new days guarantee of the reality at hand?...
Too tired now to turn back. Too eager with anticipation in what tonight's dreams will deliver. Toward sleep's gentle urging I go now, knowing still compromises tomorrow await me. In my heart you stay, but the distance between us, keeps us always apart. I cruse fate, yet within minutes I change my mind and become thankful! My fickle feelings for fate, good and bad, I reluctantly accept. My heart's emotion maintains its posture of devotion to you and this fire of hope remains eternal. The contentment I found in you were delivered in portions, that were much too small. I reside myself to my life without you now as, Fate!
