Spoken Emotion: Reasonable Doubt

Reasonable Doubt

My intent is clear

Like a beacon shining light

Obviously to oblivion

Like Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

I am lost in an altered reality

Where what I want and seek

Are the search for

Monty Python’s holy grail

Without the side splitting comedy

I want you

In love with you

Need you permanently with me

Then I look at the

Empirical evidence

See the disparity

I hear what you say

Support like a lunar eclipse rotation

Backed up by actions

Of a limited creation

Amid this doubt

Still I stayed

Gave hope a try anyway

I am left

In wonderment

Doubting words and actions

Cascading within a bottle of

Balatore and Guinness stout

I hang my head

Laugh at myself

Be prepared

Lead from the front

Mean what you say

None ever

Prepared me for

Obvious and not so obvious

Doubt
