Chasing Unicorns and Chimera
by Christopher ShinDoes it make you sad to
know that you are lucky?
Are you bitter cause love
was not a fruit that was
appealing to your lips?
Does your heart still burn
with flames that lick each
vessel that sails in your
blood stream?
Does Cupid's blessing and
Venus's good fortune make
you curse them and shake
your fist in despair?
I tell you are the luck
one to feel to be desired.
I am but a fool amongst dreamers
and deadend romantics who
desires what is obviously
not given to a doomed person.
Does love make you dance the
night away in his eyes?
Does it soften the burning
coldness of our reality?
I bare with it each day you
see the madness and the mundane.
The head screaming and destructive
nature of the world.
Does love make you sigh and swoon?
And you are lucky cause it
makes me pore my hearts blood
into the bitter salty sea.
Each drop no differ then
a drop of salt water.
Does love make you remembered?
For I will be forgotten like the
next fool and my bones shall
be the toy of a mongrel dog.
My images will be nothing
but allies to the dust.
Love such a trivial thing,
but a curse among my lips.
And a thing that can never
be obtained. 10/10/2003 Posted on 10/10/2003
