Stef's 31/31

Sooooo... I've decided that I'm going to do a 30/30 (30 poems in 30 days) challenge for myself. And, of course, I wouldn't be me if I didn't take the rules and bend them to my liking. So here I present the 1st of my 31 (yes, 31) poems. Enjoy! (or don't whatever, lol) Hopefully by day 15 or so, they'll actually be good poems.

Not Always, But...

Its not always about what I want
Sometimes its about the reality of the situation
Being honest about where I stand ... Or don't

Its not always about me, and my desires
Can't touch when I want
Where I want
All the time

What I want, isn't always the most important piece of the puzzle
My wishes are not always the cornerstone in the bridge between then & soon
Time stands still for me, rarely
Most times it keeps going
Flowing from the mountains of possibility,
To the sea of absolute reality

It aint really about me
My thoughts of romantic home cooked meals
Long evenings spent watching the tug boats pass in the twilight
Longer days spent glancing up, guessing the age of the Sun
Not really

It isn't always about what I want
What I want is your hand
In my hand
Walking through the pages of this story
Leaving ink-stained footprints,
Jumping together in pools of anecdotes,
Dodging the drizzle of shared memories...

But sometimes it is
Bring your boots & umbrella
We have a story to tell
