Scared

Scared

A Poem by Periac

your scared?

I'm dropping a weeping heart from uncommon juggling


this path was only dreamed about


but now my friends


it lies before me in plush overgrown beauty

and shadows arranged like oily camouflage

brush stroked in warm golden fires


on these rickety stilts used to equal your tender whispers

I sway with

soft blossom scented breezes


why does her path stay shady?


I've come with dirty leathery hands to clear unwanted toxic weeds


in my silent choking laments

I pretend I'm wanted

dressed in the finest colored browns


upon this invited path I begin

in bottles she held thorns

they cracked in unison with my heavy steps

clever the defense

clever the calf


here now

I've stepped into a splendid wonder meadow

completed by fancy falls


to review steps I aim sights to my crawl

to find the heart once sewn on my dirty forearm replaced by puddling crimson pain

in fact both barriers of my arms

bled heated rivers and in romantic irony

thorny kisses left seeping gifts wrapped in a comfort led by desire


so what a sight It 'twas

I a dirtied little creature

stilted yet worm height

swimming heartless in a pleasures meadow


and through a teardrops telescope I peered a ruby dripping flutter off by miles

among a cherished paw

white in strength

her wolf eyes

epic of jewels

summer sky blue


in soft licks she washed that weakened thin heart


and I

in a turtle stride moved forward
