UNTITLED (Anticipation)

::Anticipation::


What is it about you 
That keeps my mind 
From straying too far 
From the sound of your voice for long? 

What is it about your voice 
That calms and excites me 
Both soothes and ignites within me 
A passion too frightening to explore 
While my fear subsides 
Whenever I choose to rest near 
Intuitive truth 

I am afraid to let my imagination run wild 
For fear of disappointment 
Yet more afraid of the possibility 
That my mind’s eye could be exceeded only by reality 

But are you real? 

I'm wondering while wandering if I am 
Already residing in a place of no return 
Unless I allow what is meant 
To unfold 
To be 
To manifest 
Fully 
And incorporate it’s self 
Into some fold or facet of destiny 
To merge with me 
And render us seamless 

What compelled me to even begin? 
Was it inevitable? 
Or did I just will it; will YOU into existence 
Setting into motion 
Unfolding events to match my erratic, yet 
Unwavering desires? 

Do you know me, us, infinitely? 
Or am I, in my wanting of satiation 
So transparent 
That you can slip into my fantasy, 
As easily as I slip into a negligee to fulfill yours? 

Your words caress my intellect 
And the far reaching parts of me 
As if you’ve been reading my journals 
Since the age of innocence 
As if you’ve anticipated 
Prepared and rehearsed for me 
Forever 

And try as I may 
I can’t seem to run, or turn, or pause, or hide, or decelerate, 
Or move – beyond this place 
And I must know what the ending will be…
