what!

what!

A Poem by MandarinOranges
"

yeah-i don't know...crap in my head that i don't know what to do with

"

Sweetest dreams

quickly evolving, 

twisting, turning

into nightmares

of the worst kind.

 

A longing so debiliating

even breathing

is hard to do,

churing a tide

to swallow you whole.

 

Is it love?

Is it lust?

Is it the simple longing

for what you can never have?

Or is it just me?

It has the feel of a lust for a love you can never have. There is just something about the concept of dreams turning to nightmares, being the maddening and somber realization that the love lusted after was the wrong love once more - failing to compare on so many levels and finding yourself stuck with yet another pale shadow of what your heart so desires. Love catches your breath, holds it captive, watching with innocent eyes as the very life of you drains away slowly - as you still long for it - that love born in the abyss of conceptualized reality - "Yes, this is what I should want...." before it sucks that last moment of life from your shattered body. Yes, fairy tale love - the kind of tale told to kids to get them to eat all their peas....
