what if i stopped reprimanding myself
catching cliches as they slide into my mind
like osmosis
uncontrolable
and fine?
what if
the cliches were true
and i let myself
believe so, know so
and really, really
fall in love like no other time
like never again, like forever on this side of eternity?
and my guard comes down
and my erudite pride
my defenses
my shields
what keeps me from dreaming so big,
so limitlessly,
that when i come to the end of my trying and striving
all my energy gone, my control, my bulwarks against hope
what if i find
not one who runs
but flies?
Please tell me what you think
