Endless

"Endless"

Patterns of my youth have emerged

Like a fog light of hope

Breaking through the grey clouds of submission

I had given in to the thoughts of lonely expectations

And was ready to find my inner solitary peace

And then

She erased the droll life before me

Or at least showed me a path to follow

Giving me a chance to realize our dreams may fade

But they never actually go away

They hang there waiting for the right connection

Like the pop of static when two bits of cloth first touch

I try not to rush my Idle moments

Still I want to hear her voice

I cannot deny my smile

Is because of her

I am high school and giddy

Wanting to be her prince or knight

Hoping to sleigh her dragons

And possibly my own

We are each a bit damaged

I with my mistakes and stumbles

And her with some small chips and cracks

But here

In the beginning

The point where she giggles and I laugh

The point where I reveal and she accepts

The point where we both have hope

It makes me feel like it’s just slightly possible

That our splintered hearts and puzzle piece lives

Might come together to form a wonderfully painted canvass

That reveals an adventurous tomorrow within one another’s arms

The possibilities seem endless

And I for one

Cannot wait to see where we are headed
