A Cautionary tale
trail and error
Wasted years of
Needless drama
ups and downs
Failed attempts at
Reversing damage done
Do
What you must
As long as
You know what
You are doing..
Which can and
Cannot be known..
A Cautionary tale...
Passions are a slowly burning fire
Keep them steady and certain
But once excited, stand guard
The blaze will engulf.
A cautionary tale
From a not-so cautionary male.
Trust
true, unwavering
confident certain absolute
belief shattered, changing views
Strength
Ditsy blonde mother of Red Riding Hood
Sent her little girl alone to the wood…
Once upon a present time
That would be a heinous crime,
Mom and grandma for neglect would be sued.

Syllables count: 10 and 7
My brilliance is finite
Like my will to live,
I’m running out of light
as sand falls through a sieve.
And as a life i fail,
My wicked blood runs black,
A cautionary tale
In a second hand stack.
My cries will cause a flood,
Giving proof to my old fear,
That between the cracks seeps blood;
Even mad ones don’t come near.
For a shattered self repels
And a sorry self denies,
Mirrors show no parallels
And none reflect my cries.
One may land in hot water
skating where the ice is thin
or end up in a jam
going out on a limb
and hoping to reach a goal
by swimming upstream
could prove no more than a wish
perhaps purely a pipe dream
investing the least
wanting the lion's share
the end result
might induce a scare
woolgathering head in the clouds
unaware of what's around
sounds like fun but more's accomplished
with both feet on solid ground
