arabian nights

can i seem hopelessly aloof,
silently undecided
while within, i weigh impossibilities
pit a chance of a future against
certain loss of the past.

dicing with desire on the one face, damnation on the next
dreaming and divining hopeful things that in this transient moment
stolen from responsibility
seem so tempting, shimmering
like fairy dust that turns to ashes in your hand.
