Startled Epiphany

Suddenly it came to me

smack in the face

there was no where left to run

I had to open my eyes

to face the truth

somehow

I have fallen for you

despite my admonishments

‘self do not go there

it always ends as it must.’

Stupid self

did not listen at all

turned deaf ears to my pleas

offered up my heart

on silver platter

oh god what to do?

Come to me my muse

lay down at my feet

while I try to find the words

the verse

to describe you just right.

You make me laugh

never make(s) me cry

(he he I the poet am participating

given this story is probably 

mostly possibly but not about her-

isn’t that a lyric in a song?)

Mouth clamped shut

lips zippered closed

will keep all thoughts

all emotions to me.

We will dance this dance

two forward one back

neither willing to admit

what is right underneath their noses!
