Between Now and Never
Image Credits: Generated by OpenAI’s DALL·E The cycle repeated itself Flared desire and thrill entwined Leaving caution fluttering in the wind A writhing fantasy, raw and urgent Guiding fingers to dance upon screen and flesh The cycle, progressive yet known Mixed with the familiarity of yearning and reality, A deadly tango of the unrequited and inhibition With dreamed gasps rushing into reality Yet slipping away into yesterdays And now, this cycle seems to be at its end But desperation says that it cannot be The need for its repetition to keep the fire alive Like chasing beauty in the pouring rain And forcing eyes open in the bright sun To live in an illusion of a life filled with stardust and him.
