Scorpio

This mind never shuts down, 
It makes my ears ring.
Sometimes I wear a frown. 
I overthink everything.

I analyze every subtle move,
In search of some motive,
Like I have something to prove,
Making me highly emotive.

I wear my emotions on my sleeve,
Yet I keep a whole world hidden.
Darkness abides in this reprieve,
Where thoughts thrive unbidden.

Look into my eyes, see what I feel.
I will say yes when I mean no.
I'll hide under this dark veil.
I hold grudges, never letting go.

Betray me and know revenge,
Calculating, bold, and cold.
I burn bright enough to singe,
And I'm not afraid to scold.

I know you better than you do.
My feelings make me magnetic,
Stubborn, complex, yet soulful too,
Sensual, wise, and dramatic.

I will be loyal to the death,
And despise the two faced.
I'll love you to my last breath,
Yet kill myself in selfish haste.

I trust so few over the years.
Nurture my love, watch it grow.
Passionate and full of tears.
I'm Powerful.  I am Scorpio.

I've never heard a more rhythmic description of a Scorpio nor one that covers all the subtleties of life.

Nice horoscopic rhyme, not sure if that is a word or not but I used it anyway. :) Really nicely done, a great look into the mind of a Scorpio.

Thank you Chris! Hmmm....... Horiscopic. I like it. Words were meant to be played with. I think I'll have to borrow it. : )
