 Feb 2014 melodie foley
Zachary
is it selfish
hate
is it peaceful
negotiate
our troubled times and no date
fist full of lies that is our fate
second lisped tries only fill the plate
sampled on delicate hands that ****
and triggered spelled lungs duct taped
smoke signaled clouds that cant escape
anger shouts love that choose to relate
my answers are for god and not to dictate
for you thats absurd because i am late
 Feb 2014 melodie foley
REAL
and you where there
in front me...
breathing softly
digging your hand in the other
your brown hair sleeping on your shoulders
i didn't know you then
but i thought
"this is going to be great"
i didn't know you then
and i dont know you now
after all the pages we written
smudges
and ink running out
you changed me
....
so much
we were strangers then
and we are strangers now
giving looks
looks
that make me remember
of all the things we did
"and now?"
**i ****** it up
Here are two pupils
whose moons of black
transform to cripples
all who look:

each lovely lady
who peers inside
take on the body
of a toad.

Within these mirrors
the world inverts:
the fond admirer's
burning darts

turn back to injure
the thrusting hand
and inflame to danger
the scarlet wound.

I sought my image
in the scorching glass,
for what fire could damage
a witch's face?

So I stared in that furnace
where beauties char
but found radiant Venus
reflected there.
