Teenage fever dream,
Sexy beyond belief.
Heart palpitations,
Seized in attack.
Charming words,
Brooding looks.
Waves of hair,
Delicate beauty.
Shy and awkward,
Disarmingly diminutive.
Cute smile shining,
Dimples wink coquettishly.
Cats disguised as human,
Sweet sensitive soul.
My mate for life,
My fantasy come true.
Geographic placement,
Shove you in a box.
Tongue reveals truth,
Even while spinning lies.
Socioeconomic status,
Rural-urban class.
Contextual, prejudicial,
Ideologies attached.
Labeled stupid hick,
Intellect assaulted.
But when running for office,
Folksy and so charming.
Double standards prevail,
White men steal who you are.
Celebrated wearing your skin,
Your flesh reviled and detested.
Eyes start to water,
Vision becomes blurry.
Misunderstood image,
Camera obscura.
Longing for clarity,
Yet change might emerge.
Loss within the churn,
Halted by anxiety.
Slowly turn blind,
Paralysis in stasis.
Extraneous eyeballs,
Curse of sight.
Shut the eyelids,
Tears stream down.
Dare not look out,
See a new world.
Tweak and curate,
Controlled to perfection.
Embed emotions in space,
Objectified feelings.
Statically transmit,
Deepest thoughts and desires.
Minds project out,
Beauty hidden within.
Influential power,
Wielded with abandon.
Destructive, constructive,
Blaming the user.
Street lamps glow,
Stained orange landscape.
Glitter rests,
Fluttering and swirling stills.
A breath of magic,
Living in the clouds.
Layered and stacked,
Statuesque proportions.
Stormy in moments,
Tranquil in others.
Pretty pictures deceive,
Lethal exposure.
Foolish thoughts escape,
Tender heart aches acutely.
Blood staining sleeves,
Chest hole gaping.
Proffer my affections,
Spurned quite soundly.
Nursing the hurt,
Return for a pounding.
Stupid courage perhaps,
Plunge blind into battle.
Wounded yet bandaged,
Our unrequited lover.
Aspirin bottle,
Prophetic appearance.
Fifty or sixty,
Last sleep.
Best efforts given,
Futility proven.
Future a void,
Stretching suffering.
Promises of better,
Echo stifled by lies.
Hopes ringing falsely,
Imprisoned in perpetual misery.
Walking corpses,
Envy the resting.
Trudge on a treadmill,
Pulling the plug.
My clearest clues,
You cannot decipher.
Burning feelings,
My heart’s desire.
Absorbed in doubt,
Blind to my eye.
Visions flow freely,
Caged in numb skulls.
Dreams unfulfilled,
Promises broken.
Listless in the closet,
Costume ball draperies.
Cat stalking prey,
Turned back undefended.
Pounce on him with love,
My silly bad guesser.
Warbling voice,
Fluttering heart,
A songbird owns the sky.
Capture my heart,
Keep it caged,
Serenades and melodies divine.
Feed me joy,
Ruffle my feathers,
Love me, now and forever.
Get the most,
Give the least.
Scarce resources protected.
Trapped a paw,
Chew it off.
Survival of the leanest.
Mounting piles grow tall,
Sinking ever deeper.
Love is not a competition.
