When It Just Doesn't Work



Swirling around
imperceptible meager whispers
honey upon pouting lips
vanish the sweetness
blindly masking chicanery

blindly with stocked disclosure

pottery of crimson wine
will dull sometimes define
obedience prompt of happiness
a selfie provided untruthful assurances
while blood turns to wine

sanguine fluid into sub-consciousness

that we have bounteous plans
which we postulate to yearn
life in transcendence
patches each fragmented promise
excuses find us straining

dreams hand drawn in the white sand

small details stacked so high
never shall we fail to grip
happiness by pin-the-tail on the moon
sunny days built thunderstorms of the night

riding along the narrow path of choice

whispering life may be good or rotting
from the inside
honey drips from the hive
bees swarm together chanting, chanting
'We only regret the chances we didn't take.'

lamentation sooths only a broken heart

when it just doesn't work
be gracious and carry on
keep looking down the road
for somewhere in the mist of this night
ourselves we shall suddenly find

it was there all along, it was waiting.
