When Opportunity Knocks

"WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS"


there are 
only a 
few selected 
times by 
the gods 
that wake 
you up. 

as it 
happens these 
moments are 
the pauses 
on your 
timeline that 
teach you 
something worthy. 

if you’re 
foolish you’ll 
miss it, 
if you’re 
alive you’ll 
catch it. 

I can 
say that 
my moment 
came when 
I made 
the mistake 
to love 
a whore. 

although this 
is noteworthy, 
I can’t 
say that 
it compares 
to the 
moment I 
loved a 
woman. 

the 
gods gave 
me an 
option to 
grab and 
I devoured 
it.
