“How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d;”
Eloise Abelard - Alexander Pope
Personal reality a world of its own
Univited guests and misery banished from this home
Shivering novelties of frozen stiff bones
Fears of facing the unknown
Far fetched fantasies of lovers at war
Intercepted messages of ghostly ships docked on shore
Hearts healed from shattered claws
Edging on madness that ceases, hopeless no more
The loving hands of time fold away the neat lines
Of acceptance, of creation neither yours nor mine
Buying and borrowing each other until one of us resigns.
Agreeing with nothing and restricting everything
Tense words of a paranoid world, glares and stares nothing less than absurd
Angry expressions are weary of concessions whilst they orchestrate a global recession
Conspiracies and hypocrisy a tragic disconcerted irony
Realist made to look like mentalists –lunatics!
Religious figures blatant fake fundamentalists!
Unjustified persecution, failed retributions and arguments stemming from enforced confusion
Make way for hidden desires and misguided bullet fire
Politically correct, blaming each other for their own ways they agree to transgress.
Becoming apparent that your heart does not favour a reason to depart
Leaving this world disagreeing with kindest regards or selfish remarks
Scurrying back to the first episode where it all made sense and the script starts.
If I cover my eyes, can I see?
If I hold my breath, can I breathe?
If I refuse to exist, can I be?
If I become independent does that mean I cannot need?
If I stumble, can I not get off my grazed knees and onto my feet?
Coz if I choose to not lose at least I can try for my happiness throughout the mess!
They say love is exclusive to the elite
To those you know the truth
Those who call a truce or misuse and abuse the essence of you.
A way of life
A feeling of fear
A nourishment to regain and restrain the need for a reason to adhere, prepare and re appear
in love…….
Decisions made on a whim
Gamblers, cheats and those who don’t think
Waiting for the reaction, a second or a blink
Decisions made on a whim are decisions that may or may not win.
What it’s all about, is not the money.
It’s not about glory or who’s not man enough to say sorry.
It’s basically about the human nature.
Constant, continious behaviour and a confidence to deal with failure.
What it’s all about, is not the reputation.
Or the brand it makes them.
Nor is about choosing favorites or running away from different stations.
It’s about mutual respect for the desire for happiness.
It’s about trying to keep plans blessed and avoiding the upheaval and stress.
It’s about certainty and clarity about needing to know if it is eternity or a temporary sanctuary. It’s about keeping boundaries and knowing what stands firmly between two gates, forgiving mistakes and understanding personal ways.
But above all, it’s about standing beside one another and knowing you will believe in each other no matter what they say and vow stay through even the toughest days!
While you forsake all other’s for once for goodness sake!
