Dazzled, bewitched, betwixt
Your attention is clearly affixed
To fantasy, a dream--a non-reality
This sad thing you see as me
But, I love you as you are
Although, your dreams take you far
Away into the distance
Illusion believed as instance
Beauty decried by the blind
Have regard for those left behind-
Sight intoxicating
Left waiting,
And wanting; more
It's just a door!
But, you adore
A projection
Of a reflection
Of what you can't keep inside
The elephant you cannot hide
But, it's just a door!
A portal into possibility
You're wanting more
And never question what you seek
In this hallway
there are many doors
It's easy to run away
And simply choose one that is 'ours'
But, we must question our periphery
Understand not all is what we see
We must find Love internally
Before professing it eternally;
"To truly love another--first, I must love me"

It's been awhile! Here's another one from my closet of failure-shame. Again, I have no means of pinpointing whence this was a **** on the world but, take a gawk and have a well-deserved laugh at a dad in crocs-n-socks!
This relates a turning point in a considerably long-term-relationship of mine some time ago (dating conventions for your work are very helpful (and! auto-biographical!)). Without regard, it didn't work out but, good friends are nice things to have even when souls do not mate.
Ultimately, this piece possesses that quintessential 'me-vibe' that I had from time unrecorded; the structure is clunky and the prose is ham-******. It so eagerly tries to be meaningful but, get lost in the sauce. I can appreciate it as a rest stop on the journey I pursue.
Thank you for reading <3
