Inescapable

Inescapable

A Poem by willweb

 

Why do I allow myself to do this,

day after day, wishing and waiting,

pacing in a confined space,

tripping on the surface of what I want,

falling head first into what I can not have

 

Scraped knees and elbows

locked at the joints,

bound by corrosion,

hidden beneath denim overlays,

heavy duty to conceal

bolted thoughts

chained to the wall

by my desires

 

 

These iron bars of your memory

surround me at all times

an inescapable cage around my heart -

and I can not find the key

 

nor do I want to

 

but why

it's a Mad Mad Mad Mad love and world that consumes with such a veracious appetite .. lock and key and no escape ... yeow! ... me thinks you need to come on over .. we will spirit the night away with a bottle of good Irish whiskey .. and be damned the 'morrow ... God bless you will! .. you have to want to .. i am an old man and i so relate .. press on... keep the faith... always write ..you will find a place of great strength ..sublime beauty .. ;)
love and peace
