PREDICAMENT

What lies in the eyes 

that search

in upward enquiry?

A frozen scan 

of stars

predicting the future?

A reading

of favoured alignment

between Jupiter and Mars?

A predilection

wrapped 

in a quandary?

A reverent gaze 

looking past 

captivity that rings

the pulse of life's blood

An expectant glow

glinting off the single gold strand

flowing full of passion 

on wild wings of hidden dreams

Seeking perhaps

an answer

floating in the clouds?

teasingly out of reach

tantalisingly close 

A smile confined

contained 

within natural lines

knows perhaps

that which others do not

The existence somewhere

beyond boundaries

of connections paused

of threads broken

Synapses awaiting

the spasm of euphoria

linked in inky blackness

awaiting discovery

anticipating light

spreading within imagination
