Real Estate

For sale sign lit under the rays of neon lights
soft spoke sales pitch offering its delights,
they spin a spell to make the eyes dance,
surely this time will be different chance.
Maybe for once there is some hope
while a wish lassos the heart like a rope.
It will make that banner so clean and nice
turn into a door that leads to paradise.

But it’s the pain of exclusions that are not spoken
with facts carefully discard like they were broken,
which causes a delusion thought to be a heavenly wind
you think is so powerful it will make your head spin,
before suddenly dragged into a hole where the air is thin.

All the rainbows never touched by a longing hand
are seldom as painful to see some unreachable plan,
as when someone offers you steps on their stand
then pulls it away like it never was there
after you start climbing and are left only with air.

Forlorn fancy is an intense inner fire
so very scorching with the heart of ire,
than the flame felt from unrealized desire
that becomes nothing more than a visionary brier.
For they stairs upon which you sought to climb
that you can never truly ascend at anytime.
