The Talk Before the Walk

"The talk before the walk" Love Caution

Make me understand how you are able to break my heart before dating you?

You took my breath away and l know ours beat in sync we are a rhythm constructed by destiny.

I do not have answers and so do you , why let linger for longer knowing you will disappoint?

Love hurts either way but it is worth it ? Are you worth it? Perhaps l am asking for the impossible like looking for a needle in a hay stack  only time can tell what we are.

At the same time like prime time it's getting swarthy the picture we hesitate to paint the image disconnecting from the frame .

If we dive in then let it be damn the consequences life is too short you might win to lose but only if you fail to try .

The paradox to life is the one we all can't escape or begin to comprehend and that's the truth so at the same time we might as walk away before the scratches.

Vile Smart

Sifting for lamb in a wolves pack
Like searching for a needle in a hay stack
Predator's parameter on a scale of gourmet
Lessening time warble with each revolution
Camouflaged in whiskers, shedding off spotlight
Tossed decision in flaunting sides between jekyll or hyde
When fostering quaint concubine, a mistaken desire
A swollen brook will break across the familiar pier
If silent does not mean it isn't there
Contingently awaiting or frolicking on the devil's mare
How lullaby enunciates at the cradled moment
Decides whether put evil to snooze or become more flagrant

Just the Way Love Goes

I guess this is just how the way love goes
Like looking for a raindrop, through every prickly rose
Re-defining, how each moment worth as we blindly try
To record the stillness of the moment, as time gently flies by

Like a needle in a hay stack, we fight on, against all odds
Because it is just how love creates; the story of two peas in a pod
Love songs and love notes, are the true idioms of the heart
A stairway full of dreams with a chest-full of art

Anyone can openly tell us; how this is just the way love goes
But no one can point the way; for God is the only one that knows
Love stories in the movie can only feed our mind to brewed
Whereas the love birds inside a novel can make or break the mood

Time only really matters if you don’t recognize the life you got
When your memories start to turn into worries; tie them into a knot
Instead be the shoulder you can count on and just let your soul; free
With one hand drenched at the sea, while the other, reaching towards me

Forget Your Needle In a Hay Stack

I'm a needle in a haystack
walking about among all
never standing tall.
 A stick in an ever growing field of flowers.
never a stalk, never any power.
just a lone discarded weed, but i feed
on your unknowing, my unshowing.
until an unblossoming of a true form me
and a society forced to see me,
and try to be me,
 the perfect rose.

Tears of a Beautiful Woman

For her exterior is priceless & beautiful. Truly the definition of beauty at its finest.
Precious is she. To find another of her kind, is like finding a needle in a hay stack. For
her make & model; her whole caliber, is cut from a cloth all of ts own.

The interior is nothing like the exterior.
For the inside is battered & bruised, misled, misused & abused.
Her scars running deep & wide as the Mississippi.
The inside is grotesque! From lies, wounds, hurt & pain. Too view the two separately, the
thought would never arise, that they are one.

It takes for width & depth of the Mississippi to flood the roof of her exterior.
And in doing so, she is asked, why such beauty is displaying such pain; She holds her head
up to reply,
"THESE ARE THE TEARS OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN PAIN".
