Double Edged Sword
Everything you do is double edged sword
cutting a disorienting swathe across my mind
Every meeting brings me unsolicited joy
the circumstances of which leave me in a pleasant humor
Only to lead to disbelief and what has transpired
to be confusing and inexplicable
What do your words mean?
What do your actions mean?
I cannot consult body or mind
without causing a calamitous
push and pull of chagrin and elation
Distance maybe the only cure to what ails me
Because each side of the sword flays me deeply
