Future Unwritten

          Part the First


A glance
Like a lightening bolt across the room.
Lying on the kitchen floor, against the fridge, gazing up
Cheap vodka coursing through
Peach tea's in the fridge...
...in the way, here comes a drunk boy
and...

!watch the f*****g door!

He laughs...
   what a sound!
So drunk, but he laughs.

Following...
By the car, first kiss
And he walks away...
I
Still
Won.

Despite the I-chase-you-you-chase-me-if-you-want-it games

the talking in circles

games
That don't last more
Than ten hours.

Steal a car?
Steal another kiss?

And another...
      and another....
           and another....

Tastes like cheap vodka
and                      beer
and
whatever else
rests
on lips.

Goodbye for now.

Two words.
All
Yours.

     Part the Second


     Insecurity.
Blinding insecurity like a hot light shining right in your
Face!

Every glance, every word, every touch
   Mistrust.
Like cruel paranoia
It knows how to hurt you
   wants to ruin you
Makes you miserable

...strength prevails and
it
doesn't
win.

     Part the Third


   Unsure
It's there. Trust has been found...such deep trust.
But it
Hurts
It's so hard
but
So beautiful
So necessary
So
   Wanted.

In love.
Like falling ten feet to land right on your face

SMACK!

on your face.
In love.

Ten hours.
Is all
it took
From the first look
   to
Between your sheets
  then
In love.

Ten days.

       Part the Fourth


So in love..
It's like
Wow
Like
Fire, burning, seething
Fire that never dies.
So
in
Love.

Could never want more...
Than your arms....
Kisses
Warmth.

Happiness.
Beyond.
Belief.

never let go.

Reviews

[Travis Lawrence]

Really good at transitioning your emotions in this piece, from a drunken encounter to something really real. My favorite part:

"So in love..
It's like
Wow
Like
Fire, burning, seething
Fire that never dies.
So
in
Love."

Love the line breaks here, it makes you focus more on each word and pause while reading it. Even though each line is brief, the impact is long. Really good write!

Have a nice day!

That's so real, and fresh. Wow. Literally like tapping into the vein of my past. Thank you for sharing that, a great artistic peek into your brain.

great piece of writing -- loved this entire piece and how you broke each section down -- great flow and emotions

[Sara Muschweck]

Loved the way the poem just seemed to lead you down the path, like in life becoming unsure where it will lead. The emotions coming fast, the realization of the love and new relationship that was forming from a chance encounter with the person, how time has nothing to do with the heart falling for someone, and the future is just that, unknown. Living in the moment. Wonderful write, I enjoyed it very much. Glad to see you back again.
