An Antonym Poem

Bewildered.
I've been drowning in your fountain,
But for now I'll leave well enough alone,
Comprehension.

Everyone stop needing,
can’t you see how I try?
Feels like nothing but stress; 
A mask with a wide smile 
slow dancing with darkness;

Everyone stop needing!  
Popping off those demands,
such an abrasive touch!
It’s driving me insane,
always asking so much; 

Everyone stop needing! 
Wild goose is what you chase 
running down a cyclone; 
You’re not there when I ask,
leave well enough alone....

always runs from the truth
can’t leave well enough alone
has no desire to build or create
does more harm with a lie than a knife or gun

never admits to having horns and a tail
filled to the brim with subtext
wants others to do the explaining
will stab you in gest

spends a lifetime trying to prove otherwise
finds it feeble to give an apology
will sleep with just about anything
will bury you for free...

Starless sky
Two fire-flies
Drunk and high
Waltzed while no one watched.

Eye locked and pandering
they just can't stand it,
to leave well enough alone,
situations facing malevolent half-tones.

Skating on ice
in the form of her name
tracing the ups and downs
we fell through again.

I'm alone
Not really; all gone.
Have crayons to write notes,
scribed on the windshields

next to the morning-jar faces....

Tripping, skipping, lipping Lee. I’ve got a wart hog, you’re on my knee!
Spiking, liking, biking me, I’m going to travel, far as you can see.
Hopping, bopping, cropping, key. Fits in a door knob, bigger than me.
Smacking, tracking, fracking, we.  You are a he, I am a she.
Shoving, loving, doving, bee.  From unknown places, now here with thee.
Wondering, thundering, asundering gee.  Leave well enough alone, and I will get you some tea....
