Distorted perceptions of who I am.. My mind always changing.. This way.. No.. that way.. Maybe no way Is the best way. ~What do you want? I don't know.. ~What is love.. I am not sure.. ~Who loves you.. No one I think.. ~How am I to know? My distorted perceptions.. ~I think.. I am moving up.. Getting over.. Trying hard.. ~To find I am Falling down.. Going fast.. Nothing lasts Hit by the reality Of the delusion I created.. With my distorted perceptions.. Of this life.. I am debating.. Can’t believe my own eyes. Cannot trust my own heart So confused.. Torn apart. It is death.. I have courted.. Wondering why.. Hope was aborted.. S p o n t a n e o u s l y It seems... I am coming apart at the seams.. Enclosed in the dark Yet I feel the warmth of light.. ~How am I to know.. To sit To fight.. ~Am I to guess.. What’s wrong.. What’s right.. Distorted perceptions.. Makes me wonder.. Keeps me guessing.. As I figure out the truth.. In this life filled With misconceptions. Of these My distorted perceptions.
Hi Erica, this was excellent beyond measure, I really enjoyed this piece so much.

Allen

Well, uh, I started out reading FAST as heck, but it crossed my eyes. So I went back and began reading it half-fast and I found that it was just making me hungry for LIFE, so I returned to the top and read it my own plodding, old man way, and whatdoyouknow, huh? I liked it. I really, really did like it. I missed liking it on the first two reads. Sorry to try all this levity in reference to a very good, serious, poem. It was damn good.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
