Wayward thoughts

Digg this

unbidden they creep in 

playing tricks on his mind

a friend and a woman 

she is deep inside


for heavens sake 

they are just friends

why this nagging ache 

why this helplessness


but what can he do.. 

he can't help himself

a new feeling grew 

the longing intense


this constant missing 

the need to be together

His mind says one thing 

his heart wants to differ


she drifts into his thoughts 

taking him unawares

consciously he hasn't sought 

still she is there


it's hard to reconcile 

this drift has no base

He doesn't want to lose her 

there is so much at  stake


she means two different things 

both feelings strong

He feels torn in two 

might put a foot wrong 


still it's a lovely feeling he has

doesn't want to let it go

both are precious to him 

he wants to do justice to both


she is just one person 

but filling different needs

He wishes he could tell her 

all the things she means


wayward thoughts 

here and there

like wisps of clouds 

getting tougher to bear..
