No Colonization for me (For Adults) |
She Will Never Know
There was something I wanted to say to her for some time...
To and ‘fro I would pine over my yearning to reveal
This thing I felt she needed to know for sure
Anxiously intrigued as to how she'd handle truth's light
Dismounting from my see-sawed deliberation I chose to tell her
And attempt to I did but found I lacked the resolve
A serendipitous hindsight had cascaded before me
Showing me in earnest that my failed attempts were for the best
As if creating music from motion I'd envision us dancing
A slow paced Viennese performed a-capella
feet bare so they may meander about the thick cotton soft grass
Peacefully entranced in a seemingly endless midsummer's night
A pointless dream by anyone's measure of that I'm certain
Pointless to say now to you how dear she is to me
Or to admit she only saw my admiration for I hid my adoration
Became pointless for I've come to accept this truth unabashedly
I allowed myself to become drunk on disingenuous hope. A difficult truth to digest
Reality's rather direct embrace is a sobering one I must say
You know, once upon a random "ago" I'd have found that notion unsettling
Truth's clarity finds that today's "me" is largely unfazed
Present or future tense, I now know her and I can never be
What Goddess would dare mingle with a pauper hmm?
It would be most beautiful but some facets of life cannot be changed
....Damn

| It's very good. On some level I ended up detached while reading it. I'm not sure what that's a reflection on, but usually I'm really drawn into your writing. Maybe pacing, its solidity, or maybe it's me. Regardless of that, your associations and vocabulary speak of your caliber. How you pulled it together and articulated yourself, also to the same standard. I also love how you ended it, which is a highlight to me. |

| It's great, Doug, but it could really use punctuation to make it more fluent.
Example: "And attempt to I did(,) but found I lacked the resolve(.)"
Proper punctuation isn't only the demesnes of prose, and it'll make your poems even better. |
