Shooting For The Stars.. Poem by Trevor Schulte

Gazing with hopeful intuition
I am boggled with decision
shall I step forth
or remain in this position
Oh so many thoughts
flood my meek mind
as our friendship
continues to intertwine
Bled dry of courage
I mend the piercing wound
relying purely on chance
for visions that swoon
Horrified by the gamble
of expressing my emotion
I shy back in fear
unwilling to release commotion
Why oh why must I
continue to lie
in this state of refrain
with an invisible goodbye
Tearing at my inner heart
I stand unwilling to depart
and start painting life's desire
in an act of art
Can I christen
this unbirthed passion
and further this
limited ration
Restrained I fall back
and accept the inevitable truth
that the nearest chance of a kiss
is a kissing booth
Stricken with doubt
wanting to shout
letting the world know
what love is all about
Must fear be the blockade
that covers possibility
Or dare I maneuver past
with a love of flexibility
Yes, I will take a leap of faith
and shoot for the moon afar
for if I miss on my journey
I'll at least land among the stars
