WHEN CHERRY FALLS

Folder: 
2001 Poetry

I saw you there

naked and lying

I touched you

and you awaken



you smiled at me

as though nothing happened

I smiled back

pretending nothing happened



the next time I saw you

you were so silent

I tried to break the ice

but you just kept your silence



I suddenly felt

there’s something in between

an abrupt numbing discernment

but I ignored the feeling



yet the feeling was looming

I knew right away that that was it

I should have known

I should have hearken



I'm a such a naive

to facilely be convinced

by your baneful motives covert mischiefs

you're just like the others

so agog to conquer



u think I will beg

be down on my knees

weep to make you stay

nor threaten to end my grief



you’ve given me a lesson

a first hand lesson

but I will never regret

nor will I ever be scared



for you just strayed someone

who can give you unconditional fervor

and I’ll see to it that the next time we meet

I’ll be back on my feet

renewed and once again complete

This poem made me angry
but then again abuse of
any kind angers me.
I can't say I love this
poem. I can only say that
I empathize with the persona
in the piece, and that I have
felt this piece makes it a
great poem.

You astound me with your honesty! We always think things will be a certain way and they usually aren't are they? The odd thing is we do it again and again and again. You'd think that after thousands of years we would learn, yet we always think, somehow, someway it will be different for us and...it isn't. It can't be. I learned that every time IS special if I make it that way. If I keep it that way no matter if they stay or leave. Anyway, thanks again for sharing. You are a truly special person.
