One Day or Day One

When reality hits and love bites

An observing poem with supporting visuals by a global citizen from Amsterdam.

About a lover getting in the way of feelings by suppressing intuition.

Me
You
One day or day One
My day One
Irrespective of outcome
Rightfully so
Sees and raises
Your One day

One day or day One
Something's got to give
Something's got to go
Bar none
Your Indefinite indecisiveness
Folds the definite hand
Holding yours

Focus
One day or day One
A desiring hawk
Indefinitely protective
Your occupation

One day or day One
Never have you ever
Met someone like
Me
From day One
Ain't none
But One
Being that One

One day or day One
Do something about it
Time is of the essence
One day
Half in
Half out
Equals none
Where I don't wait
Around
Or stay
Stake lost
Toying with distractions
Having folded me
By not getting
Out of your own way
A losing hand
By lack of direction
At what cost?

Instant gratification

Too high

A price

Too rich

For your blood

My stake
Dealt from
The house of Love
Affirming

In language from
Day One
Always wins

Even when

Facing delay
Going forward

Surrendering to
Its call
To action

Towards

Ultimate

Satisfaction

Ain’t

Necessarily so

With you

Bouncin’ and Behavin’ Poems

Something. Else. In holding water I find what leaves me there. The ambiguity of language and getting lost in its translation. A terminal case of the 'Why'.
