Topic: Can You Show Me The Way To First Class?

I was home bound
Alone when I met you
Your eyes peering
Into mine seeing thru
The acrylic shelter
I had nested into
Telling myself that
I prefer the confines
And securities of
These walls rather
Than sleep in an
Unknown bed
Taking a journey
Holding many
Uncertainties
Potentially
...Hazardous
.....To my health…

But you held out a
Beckoning hand
Sincere and inviting
As you painted
Picture perfect
Portraits of
You and me
Swimming in tandem
In a turquoise sea
Endlessly calm
And cool …

With hypnotic words
You manufactured
Majestic Mountains
Beckoning
Tempting heights
Never before
Attained
Treasures to
Be found and
Gained in the
Unexplored…

And when you
Gave to me a
Placid glassy ocean
Brilliantly bright
Reflecting a snapshot
Shimmering
Star filled night
Hovering over the
Lights of Seattle
Highlighted in
Warm whispers
Promising I’d be
Safe with you
There was
Nothing more
I’d rather do than
Go on this tendered
Expedition
No matter where
It led …

So I got dressed
In my very best in
Anticipation of this
Long trip we had
Mapped out
Never dreaming it
Would end before
It had even begun …

I had imagined a
Joyful trek up a long
Winding mountain trail
Lushly lined in green
Successfully ascending
Sometimes harsh
Sharply peaked terrain
Descending into
Glorious valleys
Veined in quicksilver
Rivulets chiming music
Sweetly soothing…

Instead I found myself
On a dry dusty path
Leading me …
…nowhere…

With no hesitation you
Brought me to this
Arid
Weed filled
God forsaken
destination
Leaving me to
Stand alone
Choking on regret
Dry mouthed from
The dirt kicked up by
Your sudden defection
Covered with particles
Of abandoned affection
Holding an unclaimed
Trip voucher
to Nirvana…

Mystified
Horrified
Cried out and
Dry eyed
As I mutter …

I knew I
Should have
Found
A different
Travel Agent …

our purported destinations aren't always what they appear or what we envisioned....like a mirage in the desert. Here's to a wonderful write and hoping with time your travels find you in a much more pleasant place.drinker drinker

oh, how we see things with hope, expectation and desire when the world is bright and shiny. too bad there is so much tarnish when reality settles in...

nicely written
