The Watcher
"The Watcher"
You said, “Never me...”
I said, “Saltwater stings, when cuts slashed deep are bled”.
Somewhere sharks are circling
Swimming black eyes numb
Do sharks have souls?
The crowd cried, “None”.
You said, “Honey, life’s so sweet”.
I said, “Do you think?”
Somewhere, honesty lives in a place,
It’s called, “Not So Neat”.
Through the shallow tidal pools of
saltwater tears, run cracked lives and bare feet
on the bloody shores of
“Betrayal, Life Incomplete”
You said, “Trust me, I’ll catch you when you fall”
I looked in your eyes and said, “Throw the other monkeys that slippery ball”.
The Watcher signed in to watch
The Warrior signed out to blot
spinning on a wheel
cat watches
mouse
life seen through steely bars invisible
a road unsealed
(LadyLabyrinth/2019)

"A tear in my brain
Allows the voices in
They wanna push you off the path
With their frequency wires"
