Delayed Too Late Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Can we get together and consumate this?
Since I've stopped dismissing my past wishes,
Missed!
And my needs and wants I can no longer resist.

I felt out of place.
A distant misfit.
I can now admit desires...
With a burning yearning now on fire,
Inside.
Perhaps I smothered this with too much pride.
Perhaps I fought a searching sought.
And delayed too late...
What now baits my weaknesses.

I sing a new song I wish with you to share.
I wish for us to sing!
Are you still there?
Caring.
Is that time you had willing then...
Available for us to start all over again.
To begin again,
What ended then!

Can we get together and consumate this?
Since I've stopped dismissing my past wishes,
Missed!
And my needs and wants I can no longer resist.

Or am I someone you have chosen to forget?
