I want to maul inside this history of treasured memories 

And linger near the unspoken promise we both knew 

But dared not speak

Out loud 

Why did we dance around the obvious 

When others plainly saw 

The genuine from the freeze frame 

Silly games 

Catch and let the heart grow

Your hair was darker then 

I see your eyes, they're still kind and I? 

Wonder how the scene might end 

Had we remained 

And pressed through friends 

Right on to the other side that beckoned 

We knew it then, we know it now 

But that step, we will not take 

Although it begs 

These nights are colder here 

Tho safe - in this realm of everything but

The one my soul craves 

I find myself observing 

Random scenes from these same memories 

Could there be another way 

To come alive 

To really try with something steadfast, 

more than simply saying we believe? 

Believe in what, when theories claim 

The bounty of the guessing game, 

Safe from interacting mishaps 

Far from messy make ups and disconcerting quips 

When drinking from the open keg 

For days and nights on end ...

~~ ohhhhh... this is beautiful... it unravelled perfectly... ~~ far too many times, we play it safe... and we don't take the chances we need to take... ~~ i like the last six lines especially...

A very clever title Alisa :) - oh wait I just saw that there is an 'untitled' poem in the wings - so perhaps Im seeing things that arent there (again!!)

The opening is a killer.

Very much frustrated with the over-cautious 'other' but not (yet) giving up is what I got from this. Down but not out! The open keg... and now the hangover sets in !
Cool write dear friend. :)

god, the what ifs....

sometimes it is right there in front of us, and we refuse to take the chance...
and that leads to a chance of great regrets...doesn't it?

so many relationships start on that belief...there is never a definitive answer that something will work...we just have to explore, if we are brave enough.

I know! I know!😱. If only......

You never really know until you take the plunge and press on that open door....😃

Thank you for your comment and time.
