2010 - Fall - No Going Back Entry

Allure - 1. Poem

ALLURE

By Bugeye

 



Reach across


A sojourn to nowhere


Alone


A dream of love bare


A lure tempest


Allure possessing


A view of your path


From far


Life is dreams...


But dreams going nowhere


Slowly


There is no going back


To someplace that's never been


But in dream


No love to give an empty void


No losing what was never had


empty


No finding anything there


 


 


This road passes


On air I walked


Once


Now I carry you


Heavy in mind


Beloved burden


This is not new


A slow tear to see you thru


It is a circle of beauty


Dread


I am glad


Glad


You don't love me


Never going there again


I am sad


Sad


You only care for me


Here and ever the end


I am mad


Mad


You claim no part


Mere fever flames


I am bad


Bad


 


 


You assail not


You assess not


You assert not


You assent not


You assign not


You assure not


 


 


These things


Denied


Sever the heart


I am a tad


A tad


Struck down


And


Peer thru broken


Shattered splashes


At shadows


 


 


Are you good at pretending things?


Stuck in random verse, again


So forgive


Myself?


Sometimes it is contrary nature


The one pretense not to have


Thought becomes a verse of delusion


Funny how this was not thought out before


Memory of things unforgotten


The long ago and nevermind


Explain nothing


But unattended suffering


So walk and walk and walk


Leaving it behind


No going back


To that place never found


To that love never bound


I did reach out and touch you


Did I not


No going back but in this dream

The meaning of the poem I'm not sure of.

The effect I am.

It evoked a powerful feelings of sadness and longing.

I don't get many comments, so I often don't look back and I often don't reply if I do. The poem is hopelessly flawed and irrational and emotional, trying to explain a song that can't be sung. But thanks for reading.

Thanks for reading JoAnn. You mention beauty. I don't have the talent to create beauty. I mostly grief after it.
