We dream....hope...and then wake to reality.....aching for the return of what could be...

Paradise Declined

Ohhh the hands
the arms the knees
Stop, don't stop
just feeling...Please!!!

The mind has frozen
nothing left but I feel
Discomfort, pleasure, confusion
not knowing what is real.

Running for the end
with every sense flowing free
With every cry of life and desire
grasping for eternity.

Almost to nirvana
Halted by a reality-like violence
I wake to only a fading dream and cry Cry CRy CRY
to emptiness, loneliness, and decibels of screaming silence....
