Romeo and Juliet
vowed their love, when first they met
is there a chance that what they meant
was lust, had proved victoriant?
Turtle and the hare in turn
ran a race a prize to earn
one fast, one slow, they did appear
slow, fast, exchanged when end grew near.
Beware friend of what you see
Things which are sometimes will be
yet other times the things that seem
are simply seen through eyes that dream.
Poem 25: Mercy Triumphs
ReplyDeleteThis day I have failed at so many things
I am responding to consequences and
Forgetting my options
I have loved and lusted
Though not over love today
My friends I have abused
And my heart has broken
I have been stretched thin to be challenged
Growing these days has been a necessary action
But in spots I have become brittle and broken
I want to have such high expectations
My mouth has rattled, and silenced
And rattled again, my hole I dig
Reacting instead of acting I am throwing
My responsibility and reputation away
I am becoming brittle and broken
Christmas food, sugar here
Work, dry tears
Oncoming school, great fear
Comparing, despairing
For what I have lusted is so small
But my shortcoming it reveals is so tall
For what I love I have neglected, not dialected
And pushed away, slowly
This guitar string I pray will not break
I have forgotten
I am getting sick, more than I knew
Without intervention, I will be screwed
My body is weak, brittle and broken
There is mercy, it cuts the night
Remember
Remember
Remember
