Black Swan

Unexpectedly Falling In Love

Black Swan

 

Gracefully you glide on gilded lakes

                                    Your eyes soulful in their mourning

                                    Your call sounds a lonely warning

The Black Swan wins against all stakes 

 

Unexpectedly you swim figure eights

In my head    in the pool of my

surprised heart     hardened by

so many lies    I fight the usual fights

                       

                                    Struggling to understand the impossibility

                                    of just how you came to exist in a

                                    monochromatic world of purity today

                                    Could my eyes deceive me so completely

 

                                    I should have seen this in plain hindsight

                                    That you’d come to materialize here

                                    The connection is undeniably clear

                                    Because your darkness is radiant bright

                                   

                                    Caressing your silky feathers for a clue

What defense could I offer against you

                                    Made breathless by something so rare

                                    reaching out to see if you dare    care
