REMISS

Remiss

By james a. galgano

I dwell on the edge of someone else's tomorrow

While sinking in the mire of my own ill-defined past

Time crawls into the tunnel of oncoming light

Leaving us alone without divining rod aghast

Never in one's drifting drug induced dreams could we believe

Our paths would have crossed eye into each other's view

You are dwelling on the outskirts of some storybook inner delight

While I found myself stumbling upon sweet angel smile askew

There was no even ill-conceived way this fleeting romance could ever be

Not in any book written till this most memorable day gone by

How would someone such as me ever hope to find such a sweet dream as you

Longing for your loving embrace while a captive of your angel eyes

Within your midst I breathe in all heavenly hope unforeseen

I forget all my timely faults and obvious imperfections

While longing for one moment of bliss to last a lifetime

Absolving my boundless love and desire for you and indiscretions

I peer over the ledge of unenviable sorrow where this path certainly leads

While ignoring all the warning signs flashing along each embrace

There life and love found me within the web of a dream come true

Lost within the eternal dream of the fleeting chance to taste your lips kiss your face

Here is where each memory meets forever upon a glimpse of tomorrow

Clinging to a hope you will pull me from my fleeting dreams afar

Unto the place where ine day dreams may impossibly come true

That is where my love awaits a slim hope to be affixed upon your elusive star

So here is where the cookie crumbles upon life's elusive page

While my dreams are cast asunder clinging to your intimate thought or desire

I am found wandering through what might have been or in my hopes will be

That is where I will forever be aflame lost upon your eternal fire
