"4.28 Of 30: Comeback Reason"

"Comeback Reason"

Season of forever
and together.
Time where promises
consist of nevers
that are never said.

Officially unofficial
so it remains superficial.

Months where the cold bed
finds occupants aplenty.
Gently courting fabric and down
until one is swiftly
"locked down"
and taken out of the running.

Running away in due time.
Due favor for labor
once considered appreciated.
We hated what we've become

but found ourselves proud of the reminisces.

The recollection of kisses.
Boundless promises.
Fond acknowledgements
that often sting to remember.

Nights in December
when we would flaunt and frolic;
broadcasting to the world
what they never cared to know.
We would show them every crease
that we neglected to address;
be it my three piece
or your black dress.

Memories of sex
finer than my favorite liquor.
Forgiver of certain transgressions
and forgetter of most lessons
that aim to abstain
from another ride

on the train to perdition:

A selfish mission
filled with hot nights,
rough fights,
dim lights
and the longest days
in a myriad of ways
that turn my stomach as I digest....

.......I digress.....

Season of greed
where the want
overlaps need.
The seed planted among the envious.
Enchantment in the draw
strong enough to hide the flaw
and focus on instantaneous.
Extraneous at the core

but no matter

for in these days.....
.................months,
we want more
and more
and more still.
More thrill.
Less contingency.
More frills.
Less latency.

Season where "wait for me"
is all but nonexistent.
The persistent
insist with earnest
that they've earned this encounter.
Count her among the rest

if that is the best you could hope for.

If so,
what would you waste hope for?
