Demise or Compromise


Just like the morning breeze;
He comes and goes leaving me to maybe’s.
It’s so easy to keep telling one to try;
But I’m done asking in vain with your lies.
Can’t wait no more as I am out of patience;
Quit the games; it’s all or nothing!
There is no room for compromise!
Who said love means to endure demise?
And why should I be a prisoner of my own devise?
I have no regrets so I stand and defy.
Now that I’m closing this chapter to have peace;
I’m not ashamed to admit that I was once on my knees
I thought love knew no rank or taboo; 
but that was just my way.
“Trust in tomorrow, live in today”, that was your advice.
Even though the past plucks my present as you are my vice;
I roll with life so I have no time to fantasize! !
That’s just to let you know that others won’t suffice;
Still made my choice;
And that is to get by.
We are all but candles destined to melt;
Whether we choose to let go or rationalize.
The truth is ever a lie no matter the misery or dismay.
So don’t bother thyself to chastise;
So called lovers whom love wasn’t enough to realize;
Togetherness; that is one’s joy with another’s promise to stay! ! !

Poetry is a form of passionate expression kindled by an impression unbound by public conviction. I write mainly from two genres : impressionism and symbolism. Choose me or leave me, I'm not a backup plan and definitely not a second choice! Not everyone likes me but then again not everyone matters. What matters is peace and the feeling of being content. Every person is a book, this is just the place to share some pages from my book. Peace!
