May 25: Tired and Raw.

I said no,
I turned away,
I closed the door,
Left the key behind.
I was tired,
I was selfish,
I needed my space,
Stopped by a locked door.

----------

A cup of coffee,
Another page written,
A dab of hair gel,
Another day molded,
A stab in the dark,
Another chance wounded.

----------

It isn't one, it isn't two, it isn't me, it isn't you.

May 12: What If.

what if I said,
I love you,
I miss you,
I need you.
what if I said,
it isn't right,
it isn't time,
it isn't you.
what if it was me?

----------

closed, isn't open,
opportunity, isn't advantage,
mutuality, isn't plurality.
dimensions, unregulated,
opportunities, unknown.

----------

life is mine,
this moment now,
my circle defined,
the actors cast,
the curtain rises,
the audience, invited.

May 2: Challenges.

the predictable swoon,
the unknown dance,
the chance at something,
the opportunity that's new,
the feelings so old.

----------

one, two, three, four,
dimensions unexplored,
definitions unknown,
boundaries undefined.
a couple, or two,
a loose definition,
a boundary blurred.

----------

Love is meant to be challenged. It isn't tangible, it isn't valued until it's challenged. Sure one can analyze, one can question, but only a true challenge can yield answers. Only by not just accepting but by letting another in, letting another have that chance, is love found. From friends to lovers to partners, the truth remains.
A challenge must exist, or love remains blind.
