Tread Lightly For Rose Bushes Have Thorns
I remember every poem
Mental pencils scribble
Out in your honour as if they’re
Written on real not mental
Paper like the marks your
Eyes leave on my soul
Moments spent lost
In thought writing endless
Lines caging in words to
Mask any feeling
Still scribbling in my mind
My mental scrap book filled
With unfinished pieces
Complimenting your smile
Or those just meant to say HI
Writing chronicling pain
Of relived evils
Unleashing caged in
Masks of feelings
Trace lightly over my scars
Step high over walls
Erected to keep those out
Razor wire fences cut deep
Where there is intrusion in
To my psyche’s wondering
Space predator lying
Awaiting the moment to
Devour my facial sequences
Demons haunting mental states
Of reasoning
Tell me why your eyes
Insist on teasing mine
While I flee your gaze
Inventing clouds to
Haze lines of sight
Increasing the width
Of paths to plight
Tread lightly
For rose bushes
Have thorns
