options

A Poem by paul

hell is always an option
you can speak to ghosts
but they don't
speak back
you can strangle
the life
out of the night air
but the satisfaction won't last.
hell is always an option
waiting like the end of time
waiting like death
hell is always an option
like when your all alone
and even the words stop
the muse long ago
packed up and left
like your last lover.
and you just sit
even though a whole world
awaits
a lifetime of possibilities
so impossible

you induct spaces - and enter spaces - between walls - and words - that fall like crimson drops pouring from untamed gray skies - hell is always an option - but we can always swing it the other way round!

. you need to worry so much ... else how'll you make it ... valentino rossi worries a lot ... but not even a millionth as beautifully ... and you're right ... waiting hurts like hell ...

my trickster muse comes and goes, mostly goes, I figure she can find more inspiration apart from me than trudging around here in my old shoes

hell is every place, til we learn enough to move on from it, I'm aiming for the other place somehow

you think maybe hell is someplace else?

like when your all alone
and even the words stop

the muse long ago
packed up and left

like your last lover.

and you just sit
even though a whole world
awaits

a lifetime of possibilities
so impossible
why everything all at once gets fixated on just one person..why all junctures of our life seem to have a common focal point...why indeed..perhaps we will never know,never understand.
