Going Too Far Too Fast
A Poem
daybreak tells us we’ve gone too far —
down the rabbit hole of senses run amok,
down the spiral of another life left unlived
care to make a wager, those words saunter in,
careless in the way they’re tossed out into thin air,
cast in such a fine glow that we might be deceived
bless you and yours, how the sentiments have mingled,
between what is right and what is easy, the soft and the hard,
becoming notions that have told us our histories long beforehand
all those things you said — were they just fragrant lies?
anything and everything may conjoin now in this mist,
aching sorrows left for another soul to mourn this night
bless us, please, may be your lone cry by morning’s call —
but we have so many problems to court and conquer,
better left for days when we are upright and ready for war
coming flames tell us more tales of faded pictures,
careless tossing of memories you would have thrown away,
cautious motions of mine being far too late to make a difference
