original sin

What he will give is the incipient  bare minimum of his heartbeat He’ll reveal just  the washed out clamoring of his  horded desire all because there would be nothing left in his own perception of a universe that may reduce his secret lust to nothing. implode like terrorists on the fantasy of his greatness yet to come… although we are born magnificent;  which then gets blinded out by all the hearsay of our original sin he won’t go too far with a notion of blissful ‘otherness’ nor squeeze too many lemons he’s got no room for confidence sugar stored on his empty shelf *however negative space can be a good thing* (he has heard) he’s dumbfounded when he wants more from someone and expects the best of their yet to be born mind reading abilities to: just understand who he is or “be gone I say!” …(hehehe) -writer could not help it- scathed in baby blisters by his choices so far... it was of course! all the: Psycho babble of growing up in his _Family of origin_/original sin where he learned to swim so comfortably in precious Aloneness -----  -Aloofness- and  there he became more real than ever ---Ahh well...it’s the grand excuse for most of his life until he feels the scratch of his riotous ‘settling for’ is bleeding bloody murder and then one day he looks in the mirror and a ghost like stroke (not yet manifested) spotlights his over bearing mind to feel what it has ~done did~ disconnected with deeds of the heart and foresight/manipulation for naught he then finds out his heart needed more than a cup of tea and a scone (mid 40's) he finds out his emotional impasse was so damn false  (almost 50) and that his lack of allowing others in was truly a waste of mental constructs (Solid 51) this I know like my own dry eyed nodding I was him (the now pleasure of hindsight... 55) but all the 'do right' stuff is cohesively on time all the contrast that created a calling for again and again   this leaning to love Linaji 2011
