Beneath the surface,
Frustration grows,
Anger mounts.
Self control is grasped
Tenuously.
Remember to prevent
Your weakness is to know,
Yourself.
Engage in the battle of
Will.
Everything will
Eventually be
Behind you.
Leave Nothing To Regret.
***************
Where did your mask go?
When did you leave it behind?
Who will I reveal?
***************
Visions of Green Leprechauns Dancing in my head.
It’s a holiday,
A great excuse to put away your
sorrows.
Celebrate the good,
Save everything else for another
time.
Immerse yourself
Enchanting (ly)
Blissful (ly)
Four leaf clovers,
Guinness flowing,
Jameson poured.
Debauchery all in good nature.
Jig, Laugh, Hug.
Fall over,
Stumble, Occasional (ly).
Cheers, Salute, Be Merry.
*********
Do not think that it’s a mere Fairytale,
Believe it.
Act as if Midnight is quickly,
Approaching.
Waiting for the dream is wasteful,
It cannot, It will not,
Find you.
You must seek it.
It will happen;
Patience is not a virtue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At dawn it begins,
Unknowingly I start,
Anticipation.
~
Lost in the journey,
Challenges posed at each step,
Acceptance of fate.
~
Fearlessly driving,
The outcome is daring you,
Adventure rewards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Predatory, sweeping in from above.
The prey had no chance of survival.
It was not fair,
Natural order can rarely be fair.
The little birds try to put up a fight.
Dive, maneuver, hope for a break;
The end always seems,
Inevitable.
But once and a while nature,
Allows for an opportunity.
Taken.
Just Once.
The possibility.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It starts with a look;
Undeniable feeling,
Lost with its newness.
In between I see;
Another level of joy,
But the end is near.
Closure comes with it;
Unanswered questions but I
Will find you at last.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is it so very different from place to place? Do timezones stand for more than just a change in longitude? Are we a reflection of when the sun rises above us, are we more? Would I love him less if he saw the sun after me each day? What if he believes over love only revolves around time? Can I last without him after giving myself fully to our love?
I shouldn’t focus on this now. I need to focus on the moment. He will be off the plane at any moment. No return flight.

The dream shines at night,
By day it eludes capture,
Only time will tell.
