An Attempt to Regain a Lover (Free verse) by vamos_tuzos
Could I be your man,
could you forgive my history
and accept my future?
Many mistakes have I
and many I will make,
but would they overwhelm
or be subdued by your sincerity?
Missing my voice and missing my courage
losing you in the arrogance of my ways
finally finding light in my mind
and in my heart.
A tracking device you implanted
secretly and so undetected until now
the sound of your voice, your words
written on screen, its activation.
Ignorant and fearing and sort of consistency
running from what is known and of course
the unknown like death is desiring escape
to somewhere else, somewhere as shallow.
Much like my hibernation and awakening,
a yearly event, without escape
for I do not seek it until now.
must history be made before I study it?
Is it not possible to control destiny,
to determine the paths taken
and to be independent of some control?
I ask myself now,
never before, always after.
Fearing the future, forgetting the past
and avoiding the present.
