Dilemma

 

I need to know what we shall be

Shall we be friends, soul-mates or lovers

It could be any one , or none

It’s not within my power to know

 

Nurse J she is my friend

She sees the hurt that no one sees

A word of sympathy, a friendly hug

Even a shoulder to cry on if I need

 

Marie shares the secrets of my soul

The hidden parts behind my face

There’s much the same in her, and

So we share the unspoken words

 

But lovers twine our bodies

Round each other’s lives

The need for needing answered

Mutually embracing skin to skin

So, which is it, I’d like to know

Before I lay my soul quite bare

before skin touch skin

in irrevocable exchange

 

Integrity is calling out

“try please say how this could grow”

for truth allows but one to one

will not allow a one to two

 

In the end it isn’t mine to say

I know my heart and my desires

For friend, for soul-mate and for lover

All wrapped up in one sweet bundle

 

Can I make it, can I hope it

Can I make it come to me?

I only know I like the feel

Of what I know so far to be
