{late night solace}

early morning regret

• • • • 

even though i think of him 

more than i should say 

i am stuck between letting go 

and caring for another day 

thinking i should let go now 

knowing this is unhealthy 

but the thought of him enticing 

that logic simply evades me 

like a plague i am consumed 

by not only desires within 

but the need to daydream 

of him beneath my skin 

from there i do not dare 

to share one more naked line 

for the thoughts of my soul 

compete with the lust of my mind

A case of lust and logic. Boy, have I been there a few times along this crazy journey.

I want to love this poem, and another part of me feels a little sad. Clearly, the subject of this poem sounds like a character of interest. At the very least, something that catches the eye. Something that pumps the blood a little, to a point it might be frightening. That kind of attraction can be fatal, and I know all too well the dangers of being tied around someone's finger due to their own alluring nature. This sounds like questioning if a situation is good or bad, and a piece of you not caring, so long as the feeling lasts.

Something that I've personally learned is that no matter how enticed you are by someone, you should always hold your heart. Perhaps hand it to those you trust, but it is yours, and yours alone. Truly, nobody can take that from you. No matter how it might feel at times.

Considering I'm about a month late to this, I hope whatever situation this poem suggests to has gone in your favor. At the very least, however the situation played out (or is it ongoing?...) you've added another beautiful poem to the world.

Remember, Lav, you always have a choice in the matter, no matter how many people scream you don't :)

Many years ago I had a similar situation. Reading your words rejuvenates the memories. I can still feel the excitement and desire I had. Some people may think we were wrong...but if I could go back in time...I would be with him again!
