Almost made it this time around.
Came so close I could smell the danger,
Feel the hunger, taste the heat,
See the adrenaline coursing through veins.
Every step a bold new adventure,
Every turn a new part of the maze,
Every sip a new taste sensation
Taking me farther away from the pain.
Golden euphoria rests on the precipice
Guarding her treasures for any so bold,
Waiting for anyone to take her measure,
Willing to give, ready to share.
All I need do is to go past impossible,
Reach beyond Heaven to capture a star.
Carry the day from here to forever,
Stalwart and onward, living the dare.
And I almost made it,
Crashed the boards.
Stopped just short
Of Heaven’s reward.
