At the crossroads:final draft

by Brennan P   Jul 17, 2008


At the crossroads again I stand

With not a map or compass in hand

Which road to travel left or right

Both are similar in my sight

The journey to this point I recall

Twas unique, yet joined by all

Bright peals of laughter, veils of tears

Points of certain, plagues of gnawing fears

My daytime travails are spent without

The one who's desired lips I dream about

A tantalizing succubi flame of my sleep

Fatigued, weary in grotesque desire so deep

To lay bold and bare my hearts pain

Yet this action would be no more than vain

For whom and what I seek

The willing capture seems so bleak

One road to heaven, one road to hell

One road to paradise, the other just as well

For hell would be heaven sent

If to me your heart were lent

But heaven would be hellish fame

It would be without your love it's the same

Where you are, I fain to be

Alone without you, no colors do I see

No map or compass yet I stand

Your lead I'll take with thy hand

Guide me on to heaven or hell

Paradise is here with you, all is well

Oh fie, the dream is gone

Awake, I stand again alone

Reality crashes in, thunderous grand

At the crossroads still I stand

No decisions right or left

All my desires I need to sift

The bright ones that turned to dross

I will put away and count a loss

So toss the coin heads or tail

Head to the right or left I sail

Up flashes the coin end over end

From my heart you art rend

Flick out my hand to catch

Open my hand a decision to match

Oh look its..........
