Poem
It’s unfortunate that I fall for your type Because it always means there’s more than one A decision to make, moments of weakness Where my mind flutters like a butterfly in the sun. I try to remain strong But, succumbing to my weakness, I fail Fluttering aimlessly, I don’t consider the Consequences my actions will entail. Now we’re here, same bed but Facing in different directions So we see the same situation differently. I see weakness, you see failure in my imperfections. In the vein of love, I look deep in your eyes And gaze at your heart with the purest smile But, in the vein of weakness, I look into eyes, Not yours, as temptation beguiles. In the vein of love, I caress your Soul with my being, all of me. In the vein of weakness, I caress the body Of another, not yours, then becometh of the fall of me. Love for you, lust for another. Some say it’s the weakness of man. We make love and there’s the deepest connection While I embrace you, tight as though I just can’t lose you. I treat you like the most fragile glass, handling you Gently as I softly gaze through you. I see all of you. Where you need to be touched And where you need to be kissed, Ensuring, as I negotiate every one of your curves There’s no area missed. I ensure to look straight into your eyes, the Windows to your deepest emotion So you can look straight into mine and only See tender devotion. The admiration of your perfection But there’s a weakness of man. The love and drive for one can easily Become the lust for another. Don’t act as though you don’t understand. I believe we ALL have that situation where we consider a lover. The stand-in, the partner that Covers that invented 20 percent Like in reality, I break from the rhyme form To cover the 20 percent. For it’s a wandering from, Not a wandering to. I know breaking away doesn’t find the twenty. In fact, of percentage, it doesn’t find any But it’s never the truth when confronted, in weakness, Often induced by the Henny. Have you noticed I called this The Weakness of Man? In your search for the 20 Percent, at the bottom of The bottle, you’ll find about 8 Percent volume Total emptiness as you discover you don’t know What you’ve got til it’s gone. Then the 20 Percent is over and you realize Taking 8 Percent from 100 is wrong. Did you catch the math? The weakness of man. For those that don’t get it, I mean mankind The human species, that’s all of us And the weakness is ourselves. We can only ever go before the fall of us. Love, lust. The battle will never cease. While there is life, the weakness of man will ever be But where there is weakness, there is strength to be gained So, never lust but love, love we strive to see.
