Your smile suffocated my dreams
building the foundation of love by
rearranging my hopes of today alone
into an asylum of togetherness;

hand crafted imaginings encased in
old wooden crates sitting alone in a
dust filled corridor of undeclared
desires and unfulfilled needs;

I have never allowed anyone to
Venture beyond the superficial
For there is none willing to seek
out the treasures surrounded by pain;

and yet, I can’t see clearly since you
have appeared for my devices have
no effect on one whose recreated the
definition of Webster’s idea of one;

How is it that what was once a
Plan rooted in crystal clear vision
is now blinded by an every day
silouhette etched in my vision;

I watch as you walk the path to me
Gently through sediments of guilt
That ooze libations of memories
Creating slippery, painful paths;

Nothing to hold onto, no light to
Guide and yet you, a traveler of
Faith, continues forward as your
Steps are stabilized by love’s grip;

I didn’t want you to experience so much
of me and yet with every step you walk
Another door is opened and another
Lock is broken to reveal more trust;

Will I ever reclaim my grip on what
I believe should be the best for me
Or shall I continue to allow the doors
To be torn down by this holder of love;

I want find a way to resurrect my
dreams but my strength is stolen
by an addiction to embrace the
configurations of your essence;

so today, i shall just rest in your
arms as my strength to deny is now
reformed into a strength to cover
you in the adoration of my heart...

when "love" becomes "in love"...
