Please

A closer look from a greater distance.

Please
Come to me some day
of your own free will

Not as some convenient
Some convenience

Not as some convenient out
of some intolerable situation

It's difficult to differentiate
The whim from the whimsy
from the instinctual 
from the intuitive

I know it should hold my interest
I've done business with Death
I've dealt with the Devil
I've written and recited ritual literature
Mixed and taken strong potions
Not to mention all of the ceremonial sex with all the serial maidens

It would appear to any
Be reasonable
Man it should
Be apparent 

It is
The dark side
That keeps me alive
and alone
a projection
Projecting

Woman hate it when i read her mind
Always 
Say No
Say No

Can't deny it
Still do
Try'n hide it
Dying to try it
Try'n it, been try'n it. Try'n it.
What's wrong with
That try'n to S**t

Prisoner to her
Perception
It's her disbelief i believe
take it for granted
comes without plea
comes come for free
comfort free
Comes So easier
to me
take me
easy as you please
See me Don't see me
easy as you please

Take me
Once and for all
i'm worth
Once and for all
i'm worth

Hear me don't hear me
Hear me
don't hear what I have to say
you're gonna hear it
anyway

No senseless guilt
Subdues my incredulity
What good masking
what I have to see?
Pops in front of me
a sign nailed to a treeeeee
I can't ignore it like I have
I have to look before I leap
if I didn't need to see it
i wouldn't have.
 I wouldn't have you
   Play me as you would
You have had
it would have been
a long conversation
Give or take
a week or two
ago.

It would've been
a great beginning
given it was given
a lil time a lil space
to grow. 

It would've been
True

No Senseless Pride
obscures my 
Perception
it would appear 
to any Be reasonable
Man it should
Be apparent 
It is
the dark side
That keeps me alive
and alone
a projection
Projecting

Enjoy; take it for what it is; say what you will

I read men minds all the time and they hate it too and I know who you are :).

We are human, we have evil and good because we are not perfect. I always tried to see the good side of any human being. We tend to think that we are "real" and sometimes we "lie"to ourselves to cover our own fear. Like myself I have lied to covered my fear, but now I am real and I no longer put my mask. Though I have learned for my own mistake. Thanks for sharing!

Arte, I appreciate you taking the time to share your interpretation with me.

I really like your poem. I have lied to my ex that I just wanted to be his friend. But inside of my heart I wanted to be more. I have denied myself that There were no connection and that I did not fall for him. It actually I fell for him and care for him very much unconditionally. I respect him, adore him, accept him.the way he is. But because of my fear, I bottled.up and.now it is to late. I have learned a big lesson. I am moving out of country for some healing. I would like to spend time with him again in the evening for a long hours before I move. I wish he read my other poem "my love." Have a good day !
