Desire
Once resolved, twice kept, thrice shattered
Clentching to visions of perfection
held deep within that I can't capture.
All confidence in full is worn and battered.
My breath is but an afterthought to my privation.
Resting my eyes 107 minutes
only to wake with inescapable desire
that I prepensly immerse myself in
anticipating fortuity that I might
behold this pure beauty that haunts
my every thought in present verity.
May the fervid sun's heat light my way,
the greenery exude it's stimulating aroma,
the morning birds cry out their song,
all working to compliment the ever existant fervor waiting patiently in my chest.
May the contingency of your advent keep my dreams alive.

I realize I'm super late to the party (like almost five years late), so it's a real possibility that you will never get this comment. But the first time I read this, it rocked my world for a second. And then I read it again...and again. And I keep on coming back to it. This is beautiful. I've written a poem or two and feel wholly inadequate just reading this. The flow, the way the usage of larger words add a sense of formality to a sense of daily life. I just can't wrap my head around the way this seems to grow and breathe every time I read it. There's always something new in it, something that strikes me differently. When I'm not speechless, this has me rambling trying to find adequate words to describe it. You amaze me.
