THE ANNIVERSARY

THE ANNIVERSARY

A Poem by Southern Cross

                                                         THE ANNIVERSARY
I ran to you and fell into the limbo of my life.
What I thought was my Savior 
Has been my demise.

You tore down my walls,  promising they would 
Turn into a path leading 
Straight to your heart.

I ignored the  signs
The No Exit, Stop, Dead End...
Racing down that one way street.

The crash left me wondering
What is real and what
Is merely a fabrication of the mind.

Are we committed as lovers or
Just romantically connected strangers?
Sometimes neither, sometimes both.

There are times I think you have stolen my youth
Or perhaps gave it  back to me once again.
If nothing else, you make an inspiring muse.

~ you bet... your poetic voice is haunting and captivating... you write as if you're writing words from centuries ago... and they echo... there's so much depth in your poetry that it resounds... it's a war zone out there, sweetheart... between the purists who love love and the cynics who think they can change the definition of love... i'm not proud of the life i live... i need to live much more... but i'm truly proud of the kind of love i love... no cynic can survive its force... no one can rob me of hope... of poetry... of viewing the future as if it was full of possibilities... i relate to your poetry and your poetic voice a lot...
