sometimes

sometimes,
just sometimes,
i get so lost
in your eyes

i forget every
other pull upon
my heartstring,
every responsibility

i forget what's next
and what's to follow

i forget
where i come from

damn near
forget my name

sometimes,
yes sometimes,
i hope so much
for what might
never be

i forget where i am
and who i am,

ready and willing
to run as far
and as fast
as necessary

just to be
with you

sometimes,
only sometimes,
i can't help but feel
your smile linger
inside my memory

infiltrating
my every dream

dreams of what could be,
dreams of alternate
you's and me's,

where every rule
we know to be so
disappears

where the dreamer
and the dreamed
remain together

forever

inside some mythical
space time

never ready,
never willing,
never choosing
to awaken

sometimes,
more and more,
i check to see
if now is then
and then is now

wondering
if it's true

if the multiverse
and all its alternate realities
are really only fractions
of inches from here

from now
to whenever

and i wonder

if i found the door
to find the you
of another time

would it be
the you
who would receive me

completely

again

free to choose
without restriction
of any kind

sometimes,
ever so frequently,
it seems to me
that life isn't meant
to be so damn hard

not for you
not for me
not for the us
that almost remembers
itself

maybe the rules
we live by
are not the rules
meant for
you and i

but only for others,
just a moment
out of time

sometimes
never comes
as fast
as i desire

and never
isn't anything
i care to say
or dream

and so it is
that sometimes

i scribble poems
just like this one

just so you know

i am thinking
about you

so much more
than sometimes

Àṣẹ.
