Poem 4

We've stared into the infinite
And its only natural to be concerned
tedious tendencies follow a certain path
only to quickly lose their way
left are shallow and tiny steps
treading in the right direction
do you dream of another way to go?
not so fast but not too slow

Others are quick to point out natural flaws
inherent in all of us
but why are they on the outside
of this complicated contraption
a step back in evolution
its easier to say no
when you can only dream of forward
as the way to go

We've outlived ourselves
months candied over with gasping breaths
grasping at straws
You found me in a haystack
Without a metal detector to assist
we collided over many wires
fiber optically inclined
fate charged and meant to intertwine
with your phone we praise the gods
while i looked into the infinite sky
the chances are slim
but we will succeed
do you know what we need?

You think its not right
when fake warning signs lay abound
trivial possibilities
then you kiss me
and we like to forget all the rest
sometimes when there's nothing bad
people like to ignore the good
Have you seen ripples on the ocean?
Sometimes you can build barriers to ebb the tide
but you can't ignore a natural flow
thats why we're going this fast
and why you didn't want to go this slow

Barefoot we keep walking
while masked faces insist on talking
they told you we wouldnt last
if two souls were going this fast
yet here we are
still using fiber optics to keep ourselves connected
five days a week do we persist
while two we indulge
and sometimes its fine to overdo
because life would never get enough of me and you

What if paint chips on the walls
And our pictures cover with dust
can we prevent all the rust?
what if one day they are right
would they say they told you so
when you just refused to let go
It's ironic those with flaws are telling you
about ours are , and its crazy their flaws
are trying to mimic our own
what if they told you, they wanted what you have
what if their arms envied what lay in mine

Do you see the fault in their plan
because they are all fucked up
and ashamed they lost their turn
Do you blame them?
It would be terrible to know such fate was wasted
so lets not be hasty stopping this machine
when well oiled parts deliver
just because too much of you is never too much
and my flaws let these strengths shine
can you tell them to go fuck themselves?
The path is solid, and your forever mine.
