No motivation

No sparks

No chemistry

This place is dead on arrival I see

What I cannot do… is unsee

The confounding wreckage dispersed before me

Strewn everywhere like some wild confetti

Like a charlatan disguising itself as some great glory

That should somehow be magnetizing for me

Instead it is repelling me violently

I refuse this blasphemy

I saw you before I came to

I dreamt of you

Every time I closed my eyes

I visualized your silhouette against a backdrop of the darkest depths

My shackles like shadowy darkness in the obsidian night

Left me bound and nearly dead of fright

I felt much pressure

Then the light was flooding me

Wakening me from my dreary reverie

 

The rain has washed the grey clouds away

The birds are chirping on this lovely day

…that has me under sway

I take deep breaths of a refreshed atmosphere

You would swear those grey clouds were never even there

The rain  reminds me of you

How we used to be

Laid up together in harmony

No words needed to be spoken

The chemistry in the air was like such melodic music

It was all we needed to hear

We would laugh until our stomachs hurt

Take afternoon naps

and sometimes we would never leave the bed

We just lay there

With our heads together and our eyes closed

Our hands interlocked

With my heart on your chest

I was sure you could feel it beating

It evoked a passion in me

That became a double-edged dagger for me in the end

Everything is in balance

So damn the suspense

Just relax and release and let things unfold accordingly

The way they were destined to be
