Splash From My Tears

Like an alley cat you crouch,
ready to pounce in an instant.
A touch!
gentle, yet arrogant.

Tendrils of your hair
wrapped around my fragile soul;
I gasp for air
for I can't even feel my sole.

While I left the door to my heart ajar,
you snaked your paw in.
Can't you see you've gone too far?
My breath grows thin.

Deep is the scar you left in my heart;
still, I'll bear the heat.
Your words are poisonous darts.
...you blew me a kiss of deceit.

wow, deep with the poisonous arrow, Olanrewaju, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
