"Crossroads"
  by Beautiful Soul
  - This Poem is a response to the poem I say it today by Beautiful Soul


A Song For You - Donny Hathaway

From that day…

Dreams have been embraced through adoration
Entangling each other in a soulful hug
The way we kiss,
A beautiful prelude to life

Privately we speak
Systematically…we assume

Fear has us running towards each other
Consoling our gloom,
For stained fingers is what we have in common
Touching our fate, together

Hands held tightly gently admitting forever
Stepping forward in unison in a path paved
For visions of green

You looked ahead first,
I remember

Fundamentally we scoped the range
Mainly leading to victory,
Successfully, we reached the end

All that was said and done,
Met us in the name of destiny
Tugging one from the other’s grip
Casting doubt, triggering truths to be hit
Causing confusion to bleed through tongues bitten

Swollen what was actually spoken,
My only regret

But yet

Finding ourselves at the crossroads
Our path finished to many roads beginning

Still tightly engrossed, wrapped up in emotions
Engaged in a meaningful conversation in silence
Translating pain through glares

Begging for the other not to unleash…us
In hopes that the road to be chosen
Would be simultaneously preferred
By both
Wishing you could just read my mind
Or guess the path I was going
When I said I loved you

this seems like a personalized version of the sentiment of two roads diverged in the wood...as would be translated pertaining to a relationship...I am really diggin it....much love...

m m m.. beating a path -however imperfect - to.. perfection... flawed n all... luved it.. especially the part about the swollen tongue and words spoken being the only regret... it's crazy cause people are always saying "communication is the key to keeping things together".. but we fuck up alot by just opening our mouths... it's the stuff said in silence sometimes that keeps the two in synche... great piece lovey
