The Path To Paradise

As I walk down this obscure path

The two of us, me and my thoughts

I ponder on the future 

of my journey;

Will I walk down this opaque road

in solitude eternally

or will I give in to 

reluctant yearning?

Sometimes I need a strong embrace

some token of assurance to 

remind me that my body does exist

Other days, I find such peace

seeing one set of footsteps

so, when love comes my direction

I resist. 

My life, it seems; a partial map

The states I've been; so clear to see

My destination; blanched and evanesced.

When I look back, my lucid past

Perspicuously lined with change

Has led me to refinement 

with each test...

The lessons I have yet to learn 

Distant in the horizon still

I pray that they will teach me 

what I need...

To share my life with someone else

or choose tranquility sublime...

The latter

likely how

I will 

Proceed.
