I Missed
The chance
I thought and fought my innate sense.
And stuttered when I moved.
And worried about my actions.
It may be misconstrued.
I emptied my impulses.
Then I missed the chance.
I simpered and surrendered.
Where there may have been romance.
Learning about yearning
Where did I go wrong?
Searching for new places
I am trying to belong.
Senses strike like lightning.
My pulse beats like a drum.
Alchemy of energy
My mind is going numb.
Passion is the fashion
Please slow the motor down.
Please save me from the abyss.
I might drown.
On a hilltop far away
From noise and city lights
I bathe in the innate beauty.
Of nature’s pure delights.
The stars and night and satellites
Gleam through the darkening gloom
And clouds eclipse and confiscate
Glimpses of the moon.
I chance just one more dance.
And move into the night.
To soothe my senses
And changed my mind about the flight.
