Walk Right In

Walk Right In

A Poem by Clarisse Nanoit
"

Something "spoken-word" I just cooked up.

"

Welcome, welcome.

Come on in.

I would say that I've been waiting for you all day,

but that would be a fib.

In fact, I can't quite get you to go away.

No... stay; please stay.

You're welcome to be here,

but I'm not quite sure I want you here.

You see?

No. Of course not.

I'm torn.

I want you to go away, but I'm so happy when you're here.

You entered through my ear,

Before I know it, you'll have been here a year.

Gosh.

Won't you just steer clear from here?

I believe there's an exit at the rear of the building,

but I doubt you'll find it.

I blocked it off.

I just couldn't bear to see you leave, I guess.

God, my mind is such a mess.

Of course, you are dancing around up there all day.

No... stay; please stay.

The pleasure center's just really confused by your dwelling.

My senses are heightened, my senses are failing.

My good mind is hiding,

and my smarts are all bailing.

I'm mumbling and fumbling and rambling and dying.

Oh, I just want something up in my mind besides you.

Don't get me wrong.

You're awesome, or you wouldn't be there in the first place,

it's just that all I can see all day is your face.

I need some space for my other thoughts.

I need to remember some things I forgot.

Oh, fine then. Have a happy seat.

I'll just accept (with a smile) my great/rotten defeat.

I like the cover art! =] The poem too. the word awesome i think messed with the poem some, chose a new word if you want. but this is nice. i feel like adding it to my favorites. =] i dont know why i bother, but hey, it's going there anyway...even if i won check it for a really long time from now. but who knows...i could be in the mood for favorites one day.

you are a fabulous writer! there are days when i'll be going about my stuff, and then suddenly want to read something of yours.

Oh, speaking of reading...whats your favorite book? i needa know because i need to get my dad a list of 5 books i want. Hopefully you'll be on soon enough to answer it.
