Ethereal Existence

by Ian Costello   Feb 16, 2006


In other worlds I roam while sitting,
Walking across galaxies in a single footstep,
Wandering mindscapes, whirling shrouds of enigma,
I can't discern the truth from fantasy
My second home.

The only thing I am sure of is you,
You said so yourself that you were real,
But even when I am with you my mind wanders,
The ether I inhabit is full:
hopeless wishes
hollow promises
harsh reality
I can't have you the way I want to.

You somehow intrigue me beyond the carnal lust,
I am able to put aside the primal urge and be affectionate
Although it is so hard to control myself,
I wish I could love innocent like you do,
Your relationship seems pure and deep,
If only I could cast away testosterone,
What makes us so different? and why
did you get my better half? Yet I speak
Of myself as a beast--when I am scared,
I long to kiss you one hundred fold every minute
And I can't even build the courage to do it once.

I confuse myself over you, in love,
Others will never understand how I feel,
Not even I can comprehend, the feelings
That you bring, But I adore them, may they
Never leave my head,
I am forever yours,
My
Mind
Body
Soul
Heart
Faith
and Love
