Lonely Mind
Another unplanned weekend approaches
and will I be trapped
in my habits?
the standard affair
allowing this imagination
to experience wondrous things
but also wishing
maybe I could take a brave step
in some new direction
and not always have to conjure
dreams of such affections
and instead
be in the presence
of a living, breathing human
But chances are,
that weekend will pass by
with me in my daze
reviewing some memorable
play by plays
and will I be trapped
in my habits?

and not always have to conjure

But chances are,
that weekend will pass by
with me in my daze
reviewing some memorable
play by plays

I flirt with it on occasion. Attend the odd event, but just can't (or maybe not intrigued enough) to ever get beyond the surface pleasantries. I've become quite comfortable in being single after so long being part of a pair. But I guess I will just follow those moods when they guide me out the door.
There is temptation to consider some past lovers, but probably wouldn't happen and again, the imagination vs the reality would probably win.
I appreciate the thoughtful comments and seemingly understanding what I've expressed here.

It seems to be about finding that right balance. It is good to step from the cage and experience what life has to offer.
I didn't see it as preaching, more encouraging to step out from those comforts and live a little.
Us writers do need need stimulation which inevitably might work its way into a write here and there.

It's natural to reminisce over bygone weekends, especially as you appear only to live for them, from what I've read of yours. I personally don't really live for any day, having not a regular 9 to 5 job. Maybe I live for everyday. I don't know. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. 😊

I don't necessarily live for them, though that work week conveniently forces the issue that with that earned free time, one must capitalize. Every now and again though, unfortunately in that world of comparative thinking, it is easy to hark back to those days when there was much crammed into them to great satisfaction and inebriation in some cases. I could enjoy an unexpected lift, no matter the day. Thanks for commenting. I do see the point that the real confinement comes the constructs of that 9-5 sacrifice.
