Pressing On

Time and opportunity teases
Denying me the peace
Plowing on my vulnerabity
Massaging out my resilience
Tantalizingly stripping me of my will
Deftly stroking my weak spirit
That obligingly yields
Swaying me slightly 
Overshadowing my reason
At times derailing me completely
I helplessly surrender 
To the mild amusement
To the sumptuous temptation 
An onslaught to my true passion
But though a good diversion 
from the pressure of constant disappointment
Laying on this bed 
Of momentous gratification
Never brings that shuddering delight
Of a void filled inside

For the love of this Dream
Chidding myself 
I must struggle out of the murk
And retrace my track
Nudge back the passion
Champion my dismay
Chance and luck may please
And bring forth an ease
But whatever I encounter 
It's time to appease this Desire
To reach for this Dream 
Grasp that last stab of the Pleasure
It will bring...
