and perhaps, a whisper of enchantment…
Should I have been so bold or am I left with more to wonder?
If one were wanting to prefer to enquire, awe,
but should I reveal
it,
what has left so many perplexed, would it be ever
so cruel if I were not to.
what consequences will arise I may suffer having my misspoke,
and I regret having done so, regarding what
should not have begun as
a mystery…
A piercing blue, the coloring of one’s eyes.
and I left clinging onto the
remembrance.
Awe, but to have seen her, my heart’s desire, never
have I been so out of
breath.
So utterly unforgettable, she, revealing the coloring of her eyes,
and that ever-present coy smile of hers,
as she casually walked
slowly by….
oft-times they reappear unannounced and are never summoned
as I lie in bed tossing and turning while
fitfully sleeping
and fully aware of my disquieted dreams, I find quite upsetting.
So much so at all hours of the night, I find myself
desperately reaching and grasping
nothing,
but another illustrious illustration I prefer not to have chosen.
And left wondering if there is anyone
who can relate to
this.
Step right up, ladies and gents, there is literally nothing to be
frightened of, excepting, of course, those ever-present
monsters that prefer to hide
under one’s
bed.
And revealing themselves when
Isn’t that the way it always is, and complicated as it always is,
but that is the way it
goes.
Should I be shocked, should I be disappointed, am I to feel it
entirely reprehensible, what may describe as
unheard of.
Class, class, don’t everyone raise their hand up all at once.
What’s the matter, what’s the fuss, is there not a one
among us so bold enough to
stand up?
Jack and Jill went up the hill,
Jack fell down and Jill
came tumbling
after…
Who of you remembers that nursery rhyme, anyone, anyone?
I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, things seemed to have run amuck. Oh no, boys and girls, moms and dads, ladies and gents, friends
and relatives, I seem to have been
seduced by the dark
side…
Is there not a pill, a medicine, or perhaps a prescription
one can possibly prescribe, or am I left
to my own device.
Is there not a cure, I seem to have been infected with a disease…
Is it not a wonder. Is it not a fact. Or is it purely coincidental
that we are all gathered here together? Step right up to
one and all, welcome to our medicine
show,
grab your elixir, grab your tea, stand up, sit down, or belly up
to the bar. Have a shot of whiskey and enjoy the show.
