I’ve met my match

The most confusing man in the game of love and attraction

He has walls that makes me forget mine

Makes me want to  crack it and see what’s inside

I’m terrified 

But he is even more so

I didn’t want to take the lead 

To be the one to chase after someone

But he leaves me no choice

Pride forgotten

I’m risking all the things that matters

When usually I’m the coward 

Running to the other side of the world

When things get too real 

And I’m vulnerable

Is this a trap? 

I threw you the ball

You didn’t even attempt to catch it

You just watched 

As it flew

Straight to the dumpster

I don’t believe in labels

I don’t believe in stereotypes

Restrictions of the mind

It’s the lazy way out

No exploration of the whys and hows 

And the why nots

Instead

You’re stabbing your eyes

Willingly blinding yourself

From the possibilities 

That 

Exist beyond your perception

two magpies

is all I see

one perched on my chest

the other watched me sleep

So

 I’m uncertain

unknowing

yet hopefully

uncaring

floating in calm waters

aloof

but

secretly brazing myself

for the dark clouds

I see up ahead

his touch prickled my skin

and it aroused uncertain desires

…

lightning numbed me from my core

eyes glazed

my lungs shattered

Where would

we be without

war

without terror

horror

and dark desires?

a man with grey eyes

a mouth that seldom smiles

shoulders carrying boulders

and a heart that ignites fire

supersatellite:

It’s almost as though
you fell out of the sky —
and the entire earth
gasped
in exclamation
as you swallowed
my entire soul
without making
a single sound
