My Lady Ophelia

My Lady Ophelia

  I’ve been thinking about the old days. Ya know, when the world turned 360 and Ophelia was putting in one hell of a fight.  She took a pretty good beat down on that last one.  Every so often I catch a glimpse of her, quiet, alone.  The thought of approaching her paralyzes me.   

 I loved her once, her spirit, her fire, her inevitable surrender.  Then, she shattered her truth with obsessive precision and bled on the fragments of her reflection.  The betrayal of hope is unyielding.

 Is it my need to be desired by another human being?  Is it the lingering fall out of our first moment? Is it the paralyzing fear that this is my very last chance to open my heart and accept the possibility of happiness? 

 She quelled the turbulent contemplations between doubt and desire

 her resolve to surrender for the promise of and quietude.
