listen

what are we doing,

with blindfolds over our eyes?

believing everything we hear.

but listen,

listen close,

in-between those pretty, 

made-up words.

if

if her hair smells like smoke,

and her hands are black with coals,

if her smile feel like sunshine, 

and you hear words whispered in your head,

if her eyes hold the vastness of galaxies,

and the air around her seems to crack,

then congrats,

you’ve met a witch.

eyes

what is it

about those eyes

that sees too deep?

people you meet

time to time.

wisdom pouring 

from a single glance

no words, 

just profoundly powerful gaze.

addiction

something soft grazed my arm,

stopping at the center of my palm.

fingers grabbing mine,

pulling me forward.

prompting me to follow.

i knew that call.

and it wasn’t for my good at all.

the promise of something great

that would soon turn to decay.

slowly killing my fire

and consuming me all.

i no longer believe those softest whispers

of lies that oh.. sounds so good.

and it's hard to resist that pull

of that easy gain.

i shake off those fingers

and step back from temptation,

so delicious, but false at its core.

no longer blind to promises of empty calls.

choose

what must die inside,

when walls are closing in?
