[ Valentines 2018 ] V(ibration) Day

  
Yes, I guess you could say
I'm a romantic at Heart  
---somewhat of a Tin Man  
questing from the very start;  
Emerald City or bust  
   
succumbing to rust  
and lack of contrast    
along the way  
   
but never resting  
   
not even to this very day  
   
My choice of shortcut?  
Deliberate because it  
seemed by design  
the avenues of others  
were always ( never failed! )  
less buckled than mine  
   
rerouted further away  
from the life I dreamed    
as if paved with a cruel  
sense of irony  
   
This beaten path leaving me  
bruised upon bruise  
   
Dorothy, Dear  
what brought you here  
dressed to the nines  
in those fancy red shoes?  
   
Oil can in hand  
coloring outside the lines  
with similar visions of green  
out of the clear blue?  
   
A vibrational frequency  
I was somehow tuned into  
despite seized up compass dials    
   
After tribulations testing  
the cowardly and crucified  
scarecrow trials by fire  
   
desire prevailed  
   
And to this very day  
   
Love ensues  
   
Darling  
Always and Forever  
my Yellow Brick Road  
leads back Home to you
