An elongated moment at the pond
Of ripples in time and thought,
a solemn and faint melancholy emerged
Oh what beautiful simplicity
Oh what beautiful possibility
Lets wait and see
Wait and experience the poison of electricity
wait and feel the beauty and eccentricity
Of a young mans sensible love
A burning flame grew then within me
Burning almost in the literal as your heat ignited mine
An arm millimeters away from me, from holding what could be rightfully yours
I felt it again, the opening of emotional doors
A shift in weight
And we were there.
The longing wait
The casual stare
Funny the tricks a romantic mind can play on you
For the next shift in weight shattered the illusion
The movement was minimal but held and screamed rejection at its core
A move of the waist and tap of the shoe
A request to leave, all done by you
Of ripples in time and thought
A solemn and faint melancholy emerged
Not within the pond
But at the core of my soul,
caused only by the sudden realization of this truth
To you, and your kind I am nothing more than a game
Oh the simplicity
Oh the possibility
We’ll leave the pond, youll go to sea
We’ll soon forget, you will be free
