End...less Joy

by victortouche

Baby,
I don't think,
I can...
understand.
 
Why,
oh why,
we can't bend.
 
You keep tellin' me,
with no bend,
comes an end...less
chasm.
 
A bridgeless,
emotionless,
hopeless,
anchorless us.
 
One last summer.
A retreat.
Long, warm, sunny,
end...less maze.
 
I don't think
we ever thought
those days would
end...less be.
 
Is pride still
a problem o' mine?
Don't even polish it
much anymore.
 
Do I seem stiff?
To you?
Add a bit
to your decision.
 
Lack of flex,
a prolonged physicality
cannot emote
a beautiful simplicity?
 
Emotionless, eh?
I was raised
to hold emotions
at bay.
 
Feelin' again?
Yeah.
I feel like...
dancin'.
 
Again.
Just can't
feel
no grin.
 
Not been
with a smile.
My style.
 
But,
still tryin'
that last mile.
 
Just
a walk,
with
a woman...
 
I love.

My my.
I'm just a man.
With hopes, emotions, dreams,
and foolishness.

Just like everybody else.
