Ponder: everything leads to you

by c. william lucas - Not entered


though i remain quite ambivialent
and measure the stars by the years that
i've grown,
something small opens..... so softly,
your meager whisper might crush it's 
frail softness into fine, white, virginal powder 

and there i would sit, like elderly men do around
elderly tables... (they have seen such days in their age)
possibly trying to abbreviate my youth into
such small, meaningless tales.

perhaps, though, i would like to believe 
that the universe is relative and real,
like your delicate hands - so there, so 
now.  
perhaps, i have been too busy clinging
to the fabric of chance, sewn of swirling threads,
and patterned in chaos. (i pray for restored order sometimes)

permit my foolish heart and
excuse my fumbling attempts to what idon'tknow

for everything is changing so rapidly.  and you being 
such joy and young emerald energy in my chest
surround my every life, collapsingme suckingme tossingme into
the whirlwind of fascination.

and i would pull you close, so that your breath may fog my eyes.

Reason for writing:

    for the simple pleasure of writing.
