A Blessing or A Curse?

You call me to tell me
that you miss me. And
that you love me. I know
that it is true. But we are
dreaming dreams that
we should have long ago
denied. Hoping
when there is little
left to hope for; that
devious disease of heart
and head.
Cursed cruelty
and obtuse optimism.
When did Desire's dream
escape its tomb...that
god-made-pottery where
Hope was once kept?
Did Pandora open up
her wicked clay again? So to
spew its most evil content
across the earth and
into my life?
Even Time�s blunt blows
and rough doses of reality
do not hinder my malady.
This illness invades
my mind every moment
growing in strength;
As I hope that tomorrow
brings you to my arms.
Tortured and still
tempted to trust...
I reach out to you
and hold hard my cherished
childish delusion;
that someday, somehow
love will suffice.
