Trick

“if it doesn’t come bursting out of you

in spite of everything,

don’t do it.

unless it comes unasked out of your

heart and your mind and your mouth

and your gut,

don’t do it.”

― Charles Bukowski

Speechless

Dreamless

Bedazzled

Lost in your thoughts

in complete awe of your

demeanor

lost in the reverie

of your shiny visage

taking stock of my emotions

Here I sit alone

in the moment of solitude

getting lost in the translation

of the most archaic feeling

“love”

and feeling completely bewildered

by the hopeless feeling

nestled deep down in

my sanguine heart

and trying fervently

to weave that nefarious plot

that ultimate deception

of tricking myself into

falling out of love.
