The Petals

dripping flower petals fall

to the earth and continue their trek down

into the arms of a man, a man who knows

nothing of worship or sin, and contiues to be impressed

by all who see what is beneath.



and i come forward with my sword, pluck

a flower, and it follows me home.

it’s so unlike me to have such things, yet this

inspires me more so than what other dregs have brought,

and i’ll continue with this until the next sun rises, and the

moon becomes

whole



and forever i will wait for you

to never follow what is believed,

and never to allow you deeper than you get, because i lock

myself

in a cage,

a self built cage.



please don’t open it, for the mothers

and fathers

do not know my secrets

and nor shall you, because i already

don’t like you, or maybe i love you,

i am never sure of

myself.

but i am with this, you are my

only love

forever to be

my only love



where are you going, walking out

the door?

i frighten you

i frighten so many.

please just stay…or do i

frighten myself.

well in fact i do, in fact that is why you

are leaving,

ah

never mind,

it was not a true hope anyway,

it was something that was never

to be

like you

like me.

like flower petals that fall along the world,

its something that i want more

than this,

something more

that what you offer.

let me go,

i shall also drip clearness like a petal.
