Forfeit

Forfeit

I wish I didn't wish
sweet as it is poisonous
I am the fool incognito
in your head
in mine
things are left unsaid
who are we?
forgive me,
I've already said too much

not knowing
what we seek is so close
eyes open to the dark
closed to the light
tongue pressed
held silence,
heart stressed
emotional pestilence

mind over misconception
adjust my perception
theres something
lost in the blur as it circles round
I've yet to find, what was never found
This romancing of the heart
the ever fleeting perfect moment
so well known, spoken for
"its beautiful"
to its contrast, offered in its agony
another head hangs lower
where was I mistaken?
are we forsaken?
to part take in a thirty second commercial

Two worlds
are the words that speak
for dreams
for reality
Between theory and experiment
can't ever meet on their own terms
The dream will accept nothing less than its dream
all while reality laughs at its absurdity
how does it feel?
to have dream reach out and meet reality halfway
do they embrace?
or do they fight?
'there can only be one victor'
the dream slays reality
dooming it to transient thoughts
or does reality slay dream?
destroying action with inspiration

I'm forfeit
the battle wages on
