The Butterfly’s Curse (May 24, 2008)

A simple curl caressed your cheek
Drawing my focus in converse
Taunting like words

You saw me in a light few are allowed
Deserving of my trust
Seeing who I am

My eyes brushed your face to see depth
In your inner self glowing outside
Giving me confidence

My hands kept reaching out towards you
To be pulled back in and held close
Tempting life to touch

A thought of kissing you kept recurring
Like the caterpillar wanting
Waiting to be the butterfly

The Strength Within (May 12, 2008)

Watch.
No, listen.
See.
But don’t look.

She took the fight
And he can’t win
His loss is his own
Loss within

Feel.
No, don’t.
Listen
Without hearing.

Now I’ve seen it all
I predicted a demise
A dire straight
Of pain

Ouch.
It hurts.
Witness
Self-infliction.

I thought I knew
Strength beyond bounds
To live through life
Spoiled by ego

She
Has strength
Driving
Through her.

I did my best to show
To let him see ahead
Ignored, I was
By pitiful self-indulgence

Idiot.
Told you.
Don’t
Do it Dummy.

Seeing straight past
Blinded by inner chaos
Out of controls
He spun his web of lies

Ha!
You lose.
Except
It hurts everyone.

You failed yourself
Worse, you failed them
Now they’ll hurt too
Because of your pain

Thanks
For sharing
Nothing
Worth sharing.
