Long Overzealous Poems

"Cocoon"

He knows he acts like a dumbass
sometimes
An overzealous hopeless romantic
But this is a little much
Even for him
Luckily, he's got a partner in crime

To a tapestry of color and cool embracing feel.
To the rooster crow so, family can feast their eyes.

a seed transforms into vines
your very branches tread fine lines. 

Cut off the ones that offend you. 
Watch as the ivy desecrates the character you never were. 
Hearsay convoluted, convictions flawed.

Deep beneath the seabed where betrayed men fell under your spell
From the love your forked tongue, does tell
From your cold heart where it remains an imprisoned cell

Her mother should….
His dad should….
Those parents should….

She was full of advice
Old lady on the hill.

he had burned blood,
with sinews blown swollen,
with effort,
